Popular Beauty products in the 1960s?

What are some popular beauty products from the 1960s (revlon make up, breck shampoo, etc.) I'm doing a project on my favourite era in time which is the 1960s, even though I was born in the 80s. I absolutely love the TV shows, movies, fashion, music, trends, commercials, etc. I haven't had much luck on finding what specific products were popular among women back then so could I have some feedback please? BTW I'm talking about the 1960s in the United States. Even though I know that Britain was huge with fashion. I really loved Elizabeth Montgomery's eye make up from Bewitched. It reminds me a lot of Audrey Hepburn's look in Breakfast At Tiffany's (my fav. movie!) My fav. TV show of all time is the Wonder Years. I'm also a HUGE fan of I Love Lucy, Mickey Mouse Club, Brady Bunch, Peanuts, etc. I'm even growing my hair out like Maureen McCormick's.

1. Breck shampoo, Halo shampoo, Max Factor was huge. Max Factor had a face makeup that was in a white plastic holder. It screwed up from the bottom, and the make-up was great! Maybeline was very popular, of course. Taboo perfume was large, also. Hair style was to back comb hair into fluffy look, and some put their hair in a bee hive. Bewitched Samantha wore her hair softly, then, and many of us wore it like that. I did. Cat eyes drawn with the mascara was a big thing. Short shorts were big. Good luck in your quest about the 60's. I loved them, too!
