The eyes are the windows to the soul
While red lips were the prominent feature of this makeup look, it also put a big emphasis on the eyes. That is why women used eyeliner and mascara to create definition and combined them with a simple eyeshadow look.
When it comes to eyeshadow, things were very different than today. In the 50s, women opted for only one matte color like grey, brown, blue, green, or violet. Only by the end of the decade, shimmering eyeshadow entered the market and became popular.
