Known for a vintage aesthetic that is reminiscent of cult TV series Mad Men, Miles Aldridge captures this retro hair and makeup photoshoot. The editorial highlights cosmetics by famed beauty brand [MAC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-mac) and is an homage to looks that reigned in the 60s.

From its expressive liner and eyeshadow applications to its exaggerated hairstyles, this retro hair and makeup editorial is nothing short of striking. It blends futuristic and vintage elements seamlessly, creating surreal scenes that are made even more impressive with the help of props and set design.

Blending MAC's vibrant branding with Aldridge's bold and vintage style, these portraits are engaging and whimsical. They revive [retro beauty looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/up-next-campaign) and celebrate the glamour and distinctive style from an unforgettable decade, the 60s.
