Joan Holloway‘s fiery red hair and hourglass figure have kept us on her side since the very beginning. Her classic ’50s and ’60s wardrobe has created trend waves around the globe, but it’s her beauty look that’s inspired us. From winged eyeliner to crimson lips – this is a classic style for a reason. Get the look with Eyeko’s Skinny Liquid Eyeliner and Studiomakeup’s Truly Red Lipstick.
Betty Draper has arguably been through the biggest style evolution throughout Mad Men as she’s gone from classic twinset housewife with soft waves and low key make-up when we first met her, to bright lipstick, statement eyes and coiffed blonde power ‘do these days. We can’t wait to see what happens to Betty (now Francis) in the final series! Follow Betty’s lead and create a range of different looks with (our fave!) theBalm Cosmetics Balm Jovi palette.
Peggy Olson started out as a wide-eyed secretary and has morphed into one of the most powerful characters (not to mention copywriters) on the show. From her early season ponytails, fringe and minimal make-up to her current chic bob, false eyelashes and pink lips. Copy Peggy’s latest beauty look with LAQA & Co’s Fat Lip Pencil in Wolfman and Lila ‘lli False Lashes.
Megan Draper joined the show in series 4 and quickly became the most fashion forward character. We have loved watching her embrace the ’60s trends including smoky eyes, coral lips and bright nails. Take a leaf out of Megan’s book with Benefit’s They’re Real! mascara and Lord & Berry’s Seta eye shadow in Slate.
