It is for good reason that the 1970s were an inspiring decade, since they gave birth to a number of beauty trends that have stood the test of time. These trends include sparkles, abstract eyeliner, and more. The beauty trends of the 1970s are just as fashionable today as they were back then, despite the fact that the decade has long since passed. We have compiled a collection of makeup styles that are inspired by the decade of the 1970s and will make you want to hold a disco party as soon as possible.
Bold Glamour
All of the components of daring makeup influenced by the 1970s are present in this look. In addition to being magnificent, the combination of silver and gold glitter on the lids, which are framed with black liner in the shape of an abstract wing, and the nude lips are in perfect harmony.
Doe-Eyed Sweetheart
This subdued makeup look, which features visible liner on both the upper and lower lash lines to create a rounded “doe-eyed” appearance, is perfectly in tune with the natural beauty makeup trends that were prevalent in the 1970s. Additionally, it is adaptable enough to be worn on a daily basis especially when paired with a matte complexion and a nude lip.
Shimmer and Groove
The decade of the 1970s was the heyday of metallic eyeshadows, and their popularity has not diminished since then. Both the blue and purple tones of this shadow are complementary to one another due to their distinctive contrast. When the lips and cheeks appear natural, the eyes are the focal point, and there is a solid reason for this.
Disco Ball
In the 1970s, there was an abundance of disco balls, and this style is perfectly in line with the spirit of the decade. The use of silver metallic eyeshadow on the lids and brows, in conjunction with fake lashes that resemble spiders, creates an appearance that is reminiscent of the past. Iridescent lip gloss ensures that everything is cohesive.
Mix and Match
In the 1970s, the makeup trends included a combination of sheer and strong hues, and this particular look is an excellent example of that combination. A bolder, more defined lipstick is used in conjunction with a softer, pastel eyeshadow on the lids. A liberal amount of blush that is put high on the cheeks makes us want to go out and dance till the wee hours of the morning instead of staying in.
Strobe Light
By adding liquid glitter eyeliner to the crease of your eyelids in the shape of a half-dome, you may give your lids a strobe light effect appearance. The sparkling accent from the liner is picked up by glossy lips, and there is no other thing that is required to finish off this look and make it perfect.
Modern Day Twiggy
Twiggy, a beauty star of the 1970s, was famous for wearing pastel shadows with feathery eyelashes and flushed cheeks. She was also known for their combination. Applying a few coats of Gucci Beauty L’Obscur Lengthening Mascara ($36) until you achieve the ideal length of your lashes will give you the appearance of having longer lashes, just like the supermodel had.
’70s Punk
Combine slime green and hot pink in your makeup to create a punk look that is sure to impress. Add a finishing touch to your eyes by applying lashes that are spiked and create a statement.
Shades of Pastel
In this look, which features bold eyelashes and baby pink lipstick, you would be able to wear it to any roller disco, whether it was held in the past or in the present. It is possible to replicate a similar effect by using the Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Color Quad in “Azure Blue Sea” ($110), which features stunning blue tones.
Smoke Machine
The absence of strobe lighting and a smoke machine would render a party from the 1970s incomprehensible. When it comes to what anyone would like to wear for a wild night out that lasts until morning, this smoky eye is right up there with the best look.
Peace, Love, and Eyeshadow
When it came to cosmetics in the 1970s, eyeshadow was a staple, and the more metallic it was, the better. This stylish teal-toned eyeshadow, defining eyeliner, and nude glossy lip are all examples of why the makeup of the 1970s is considered luxurious.
Get Groovy
Engage in some groovy color play to get your groove on. A statement that is reminiscent of the 1970s is made without any effort by the use of cobalt blue eyeliner and shadow that is smoked out on the underline of the eyes. What is the most exciting news? Due to the fact that the eye look is so straightforward, you won’t have any trouble performing it on your own.
Charlie’s Angel
The use of sculpted cheekbones, defined lips, and winged eyeliner was a trend that was prevalent not only on the big screen but also on the streets. For the most dramatic effect, apply a pair of artificial lashes, and you will find yourself wearing this makeup over and over again.
Wingin’ It
When it comes to eyeliner, wings are always a fantastic idea. Showing how liner can rapidly transform any appearance, this liner was applied to both the top and bottom of the eyes. The Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Eyeliner in “Nightflash” ($32) is a product that glides on easily and lends sparkle to the eyes. It is a soft eyeliner that glides on smoothly.
Foxy Eyes
Bold eyeliner with glossy lids and lips adds a foxy touch suitable for your next party—the more dramatic the eyes are, the better. For a glossy lid look, apply Surratt Beauty Lid Lacquer in Kogecha ($36) in layers for a shine that lasts and is easy to touch up.
Dancing Queen
Because of this shadow look, we are compelled to get dressed up and go out and dance. A scream of the 1970s can be heard coming from the contrast between the matte black and white tones and the elevated wing design. The lips and skin are matte and nude, which draws attention to the eyes exactly where they should be.
Blue Skies
When you look at this powder blue and black liner look, you can find yourself daydreaming. There is a brightening effect on the eyes, and the lips are glossy and nude, with a slightly darker liner. This combination works nicely with bright colors.
Out of Sight
This makeup style does not include any shimmering accents, therefore they are not visible. What dreams of makeup from the 1970s are built of are bright pink lips and cheeks, as well as lashes that are made visible.
Good Vibes
A outfit that is sure to turn heads is one that features metallic embellishments and bold hues. In this particular instance, the combination of different tones, in conjunction with shimmering finishes, transforms this beauty look into a work of art.
Gilded Glamour
In the same vein as the iconic fashions of the 1970s, gilded gold glittering lids and black liner are also popular. This outfit need to be put at the very top of your inspiration board, regardless of whether you are getting ready for a night out on the town or you are making an effort to mimic the glitter of the 1970s for a costume party.
