The 70's are back whether we like it or not. It seems it's not localized to the early Hippy/Boho and Mod inspired as in the past but also the Glam Rock mid 70's and the Disco/Punk rock/New wave latter 70's for fashion. I find the hair and makeup seems to be all over the place again this year and does not mesh with the fashion trends. So at least that keeps it modern. There is a lot of choice. I will be happy when the tired Kardashian LA look is over. Let's keep our finger crossed. Hair. the mid length bob with minimal layers and heavy fringe. Kate moss has been rocking this for a while but it's big this season either blown straight with volume or tousled waved. For long hair, Braids and Bouffant styles are all the rage this season for those wanting to get away from the top knot and surfer girl looks this summer. Amy Winehouse RIP, beehives and Bardot volume gives a nice sex kitten touch. Pixie cuts with lots of texture and softness in the fringe are a great option. Hair colours are going darker and richer are usual. Still in the copper range. For blondes more natural golden/honey shades are great for fall. Perhaps try ombre but with a darker shade like copper, or pinky coral.
Makeup. The metallic bronze, bright orange, and gunmetal smokey eye with nude lips for the evening. Nude makeup, neutrals ( very 70's) looks great on everyone. The strong lip and nude face is big again but with brighter/darker shades. orange, red, purple. Eyebrows are BACK. The last two seasons everyone was reaching for the bleach and the no eyebrow look that Karen Elson and Lara Stone pioneered was everywhere. For fall think Brook Shields meets Liz Taylor meet Audrey Hepburn. Not my favourite and I personally will not be partaking. As I have no eyebrows to speak of. I find this trend strange as it does not reflect the 70's theme. Brows where plucked and thin like the starlets of the 30's or natural. I find that fashion always has a 4 year flow then a backlash that goes against the former trends. So hey maybe thin brows in a couple years? Thick liner and nude lips are still rocking, might be the Amy Winehouse as well. Blush seems to be nonexistent in most of the tears I have seen. But contouring and pale complexion was big. ( also not very 70's)
