She was the ‘it girl’ of the ‘60s and still over 50 years on, actress Sharon Tate remains one of the most influential beauty icons to ever come out of Hollywood.

Her signature floating crease eyeliner and doe-eyed spider lashes continue to resurface, with stars like Ariana Grande and Kaia Gerber tapping into the Mod makeup trend that took over the mid-sixties. And after Margot Robbie’s portrayal of the late beauty in Quentin Tarentino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, we vow never to wear anything but two-toned brown eyeshadow and generous amounts of bronzer ever again (although we draw the line at bringing back the over-plucked brow).
Speaking to US Magazine, makeup artist Heba Thorisdottir — who was responsible for transforming Margot into Sharon on set — revealed the secret to mastering her iconic eye look.
“They called it the banana, that line in the crease of the eye” Heba told the publication. Using a cake eyeliner (a water-activated powder ideal for creating precise lines), Heba said she would create focus in the centre of the lid and then smooth out with a brush to “shape the pigment like a banana”. And of course, she’d then finish off with a generous lathering of mascara on the top and bottom lashes.
Ready to get your Mod makeup on? Here’s a round up of Sharon Tate’s most iconic beauty looks — from her long, wispy lashes to her wedding day flower-adored hair — to provide the ultimate inspiration.

I love this eye look and her skin is flawless. No to the Pink silk bow though .
She certainly had a very natural beauty.
Love spidery lashes and her eyes! And blonde straight hair. =D
I must admit I have never heard of her. I like the Fluffy Eyebrows photos. It's amazing how that look has come around again & I was thinking it was something new.
So gorgeous and her eyes!
Such a sad and tragic end for Sharon. She was beautiful.
She's gorgeous!
Gorgeous but I can’t believe the article doesn’t mention what happened to her. I know it’s not relevant to her look but how can you possibly leave it out?
It's so sad what happened to her. She was very beautiful and from the sounds of it a really lovely person too.
Her makeup!
Such a gorgeous woman
A shocking and tragic ending for a beautiful lady.
I love her natural beauty!
Her eyes smile
Beautiful eyes & hair! The banana liner is much more wearable than the modern floating liner, imo. I love her side plaits!
These days, she's more famous as a victim, but I'd rather celebrate her life than her tragic murder RIP Sharon.
She was a beauty. Hate to think of how her life ended.
Tragic life. Strange to be focusing on her makeup. The 60s had very high maintenance eye makeup.
Sad sad story. Still hard to believe that it happened. Its hard to fathom how someone can be so evil.
But on the eyeliner, I like it but would only do a more subtle version.
What a beautiful looking woman Sharon was .So sad what happened.
I don’t remember her but she is stunning!
Beautiful woman.
a timeless beauty
A naturally beautiful woman and she seemed so joyous.
So sad that her life was cut so short in such a horrendous way
A beautiful woman. I've watched some of her interviews too and she seemed incredibly intelligent…it's so awful the way her life was cut so short.
Though the name was familiar I didn't realise who exactly she was until I got to the image of her and Roman Polanski. Maybe since we all know the story they felt that it was not needed? Let's just celebrate her beauty.
I only know of her due to her death and I knew nothing else about her, she was very pretty but I am not replicating her banana eyeliner look. That is a lot of work.
For me, it's the 1965 headshot .. just beautiful!
So beautiful but she died in such an awful way and I still can't fathom what she saw in Roman!
Beautiful pics.
She is best know for being viciously murdered aling with some friends who were helping care for her whilst her husband Roman Polanski was working overseas when she was 8.5 months pregnant by the 'Manson family'. The reason why they was targeted? They were renting a house the that used to be occupied by someone else Manson knew.
Such a timeless beauty! So devastating how her life was cut short. Forever an icon!
She was a timeless beauty.
Didn't really know much about he until I saw the movie Once upon a time in Hollywood. Margot Robbie does a great job portraying her. See the movie if you haven't already. Also stars Brad Pitt and Leonardo Di Caprio.
An iconic beauty, that’s for sure.
Such gorgeous pictures of her. Real beauty
Such a radiant and natural beauty.
What a tragic end to a beautiful person. So sad.
What a beautiful woman Sharon was
My names are Ashley Vivian, Am here to share a testimony on how Dr Raypower helped me. After a 1/5 year relationship with my boyfriend, he changed suddenly and stopped contacting me regularly, he would come up with excuses of not seeing me all the time.
