Hi - I was wondering if anyone can give me a link to websites showing stage or "street" makeup & hair from the "pre-hippy" 1960's. Ones I have visited so far don't have much in the way of images...

Thanks!

Re: Early 1960's makeup & hair?

you might just have to go back to the old fashioned way and check out your local library or Alexander in the city, he's always helped me in the past.

try books on the history of fashion.

good luck

Re: Early 1960's makeup & hair?

Thanks for your suggestion, Kristine - I have tried these, but not gotten much in the way of pictures. What I was really thinking might help would be old advertisements, but have not come up with anything much. Will surf a bit more, otherwise I'll just watch a few movies (oh how we suffer for our art!) set in the era for an idea...

Cheers - Lisa

Hey Lisa,
How did you go with your search? I am looking for 1960's hair and fashion pictures and information. If you have any sites that you found that may help I would very much appreciate any help.
Thanx Derek.

Hi Derek -

I did manage to find some references: public libraries had a few hair & fashion history books (better info in the cultural rather than theatrical ones, I thought), and I did Google searches www.google.com on ** 1960's + hair ** or ** style ** or ** fashion ** or ** makeup **. Took a few tries but got some reasonable material. http://www.costumes.org/history/100pages/1960links.htm
was a good one.

Lastly - I thought the movie Blow was not bad for the fashions, or you could go to old movies from that era for ideas as well.

Good luck!

Re: Early 1960's makeup & hair?

I've got the same dilemma.....

couldn't find anything searching 60's makeup so I looked up well known 60's women....cher, dusty springfield.....

also 1960's videos are a good source.
