Hi I'm Kate McCarthy with About.com and today we're going to learn how to do a Twiggy-style look.

Twiggy Hair Tips

So the first thing you want to do is just brush through your hair. And then you're going to want to set it. You can use a hairspray but I prefer to take a little bit of mousse and put it into a spray bottle and mix it with water. It tends to work and hold a lot better than hairspray. So coat the whole head pretty good. And then you're going to take a rat-comb. You can use a full plastic one but I prefer the metal one so you can separate sections very, very easily.

So, Twiggy would normally have a pretty big puff at the crown of her head. So you're going to take small chunks at a time. And when you rat your hair, it's very important, a lot of people make this mistake - they keep the comb in the hair. And what you want to do is every time you rat down, remove the comb from the hair, and rat down again. And you know you have a good rat when the hair stands straight up. And you're going to continue to do that until you reach the crown of the head, which is basically right where the back of your head starts. And now you're going to grab the un-ratted pieces of hair from the front and cover the sections that you just ratted. That way it looks smooth and clean.

Now we're going to take our mousse and water again and spray. Smooth it out. And if you notice, Twiggy would always have the front pieces pretty slicked back behind her ears. And really pull the little pieces from behind your ears forward so they kinda stick out. And then really get the back with your hairspray or mousse spray.

Now to finish off the hair take some shine serum - it can be any brand that you like. Get some in your hand and lightly brush over your hair. You don't want to use too much because then your hair is going to look greasy. You just want enough to give a really nice shine. And it's also going to help keep the fly-aways down.And then comb through the hair one more time. And there you go - you have a very nice modern Twiggy look.

Twiggy Mod Makeup Tips

Now to finish off the look, if you want to go for that mod all-over look,you can just take some eye shadow, start off with a white base, and put it all over the eye. And then, you can take any bright color you want to use. Today I'm going to go with some orange and you're going put it in the crease. And then I'm going to take a lighter pink, and put it all over the lid and over the orange to kind of smooth everything out.

Now you're going to get some black eyeliner, and you're going to do a pretty thick line over the top. And don't line the lower lid - just keep it clean. Now we're going to do mascara, and use a black mascara, and you can really get in and coat those lashes. Same thing, keep the lower lashes clean. Then you're going to move onto the blush - use again a bright color. And just leave the lips glossy and nude - basic.

And now, here we have it: the finished Twiggy look. We have the hair, the makeup, and the fabulous dress, and she's ready to go out on the town and live it up like it's the mod-fashion world.
