70s hair and makeup

Hi!
I had to dress up in 70s style clothes and makeup for a school production and I got quite interested in it so I decided to blog about it. So here we go!

Makeup

Eyebrows should be quite thick and dark

Eyeliner needs to be quite thick with black first and then bright blue or green eyeliner on top.

Eyeshadow needs to be a very bright block colour. Greens and blues are the best

Lashes should be big and false!

Cheeks should be pink with a defined upwards line

Lips should have a pale frosted lip gloss. If you use darker lipstick your look will be more 80s.

Hair

There are a quite a few different styles to choose from for 70s hair. The first is "Farrah Fawcett hair"

Her hair was always big fluffy and flicked. To get this look you need to use rollers. My advice with rollers would definitely be to get foam ones, put them in with wet hair and sleep in them over night. you may also want to use a curling wand to define the flicks. Finish with hairspray to hold curls.

Another look is centre parting and head band. A more 70s hippie look.

As Elle is demonstrating here.

 Possibly with a bit of flower power!          

My final look is BIG!  

In the 70s girls wanted there hair to be big, Possibly with crimping as the picture on the left shows or bouffant like Cheryl's hair in this picture. So get out the volumizing products, blow dry your hair upside down and put it in rollers.

Outfit

Think flares think Psychedelic and think bold!

Go for bright contrasting colours,

Peace sign necklaces,

Flares,

Chiffon,

halter necks,

catsuits,

scarves,

Shoes

It's all about the platform heels!

Thanks for reading my guide to a 70s outfit!
