The 70's make up


   Hello everyone, good to be back again! Sorry for the one week absence:(
   Today's post is gonna be about the 70's and this is gonna be the last decade that I am gonna talk about.
   Well, the 70's is the last decade that really brings something new to the fashion; after this period of time designers sought inspiration in the past.
   The 70's make up is all about the  eyes. Eyeshadows go from matte to pearl or bright goldens. Make up artists made a rule from drawing that banana arch on the upper eyelid over a bright eyeshadow.The eyelid was still contoured by the black or brown eyeliner.The lower eyelid was more or less coloured, just to create a shadow. They used to draw lashes on the lower eyelid because they still considered that a sign of supreme beauty. The brow bone had to be highlighted with a white or pearl eyeshadow.
   Taking about lips, there is not much to say. The lips were much less pronounced comparing to the 50's for instance. The colours were nude: very light pinks, light salmon or just white pearl.
   The eyebrows were much thicker, very thin or waxed off. Basically they could wear them as they pleased and still be fashionable.
   With the 70's came the hippies and the wish to decorate the face with flowers ad other motifs.
