How She Changed Hairstyles and Makeup in the 60s
With her iconic blonde hair, Bardot popularized the poofy, teased look that was all the rage during the decade. She also liked to wear bold eyeliner and a light touch of eye shadow that was usually paired with natural cheeks, lips and skin to keep the focus on her big blue eyes. This beauty trend has remained in fashion long after it has fallen out of favor as a coveted look for young women around the world.
