#tbt: Mod Makeup

Beauty, Fashion

We live for a “Throw Back Thursday” aka #tbt moment, especially on Instagram! We mean, not since elementary school has Thursday been so much fun! So in honor of #tbt, we present to you…our  “Nod to Mod” makeup post from last year! It’s still one of our fav twinship moments.

xoxo,

We are mod about you!
We are mod about you!

We’ve always admired the mod subculture — the music, art, fashion, and of course the signature mod 60’s makeup.  Here is our attempt to recreate mod at home.

After 2 failed attempts, we finally got the eyeliner/false lashes right! For all our twinship bombshells out there who want to create the mod-doll-eyes — check out our step-by-step guide below.

Step 1: Cover your entire eyelid with white eyeshadow.

Step 2: Use your white eyeliner to color inner waterline.

Step 3: Use black eyeliner to line the crease of your eyelid.

Step 4: Use liquid eyeliner to line top of your upper and lower lash line.

Step 5: Using your liquid eyeliner — draw lower lashes.

Step 6: Apply thick false lashes or you can always apply a ton of mascara on your natural lashes.

Step 7: Finish your look with a ton of fun attitude and pale lipstick!

xoxo,

Feven & Helena #twinship

Our beauty philosophy is deeply rooted in our earliest memories as political refugees from Eritrea. Beauty to us is grace and resilience. As twin sisters, we share everything including our love for makeup and in particular eyeliner! We will never forget our teenage years as cashiers in high school saving up enough money to buy our favorite beauty brands.

  1. Absolutely LOVE these looks! I’m such a sucker for vintage so the whole mod theme is speaking volumes for me. Will have to try something similar on one of my makeup clients soon!
