If you want a look that is equal parts gamine and edgy, look no further than TwiggyMarilyn Monroe was the glamazon, and Audrey Hepburn was the elegant lady, but Twiggy was the young, doll-faced model who made beauty (and fashion) fun in the 1960s. She not only had the enviable chopped haircut, she had the lashes as well, and lots of them (falsies and drawn on). She could work an eyeliner as well as she could a pair of Go-Go boots, and that is why her swinging 60s look is still used as inspiration for many today.

Here’s how to get Twiggy’s doll lashes look:
