How She Changed Hairstyles and Makeup in the 60s
With her signature blonde hair, Bardot popularized the poufy, teased look that was all the rage during the decade. She also loved to wear bold eyeliner and a light touch of eyeshadow 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 vogue long after it fell out of fashion as a coveted look for young women everywhere.
