If Attract threw a celebration at Studio 54 in 1979, the room can be crammed with ‘70s make-up developments like glittery eyeshadows, bushy pure brows, and graphic white eyeliner. (Bianca Jagger would have been invited, however we’d ask her to depart her white horse at house.) In 2023, we’d count on to see some acquainted appears within the room.
The ’70s introduced us disco! The ladies’s liberation motion! Charlie’s Angels! So it’s solely becoming that this groovy period would deliver us magnificence developments that might nonetheless maintain their very own on TikTok. Would-be Fleetwood Mac groupies will relish in naked pores and skin and thick, pure brows. Membership-goers will love bringing again glitter and spiked decrease lashes. And Farrah Fawcett herself would approve of the pastel eyeshadows and dewy basis.
To assist us deliver these developments into 2023, we requested the professionals to interrupt down one of the best ’70s make-up developments and their must-have merchandise to get the look.
Meet the consultants:
Assertion Decrease Lashes

In case your higher lashes are the lead single on the album, your decrease lashes are the underrated B-side. We regularly overlook them — however they’re generally even sexier than the hits. To get Dua Lipa and Ivy Getty’s ’70s Cher-inspired lash, make-up artist Jenny Patinkin recommends beginning with a tubing mascara to keep away from a moist, clumpy mess. “Level the applicator at a perpendicular angle to the attention and swipe mascara backwards and forwards over the decrease lash line,” she says. If you’d like an much more dramatic spike, Patinkin recommends utilizing small tweezers to pinch sections of lashes collectively into little packets of spikes.
“Caliray’s mascara works nicely for this look as a result of you’ll be able to management the applying with out getting massive moist blobs, and I discover that it doesn’t flake off all through the day,” says Patinkin.
A few of us don’t have the persistence to flip the document over for the B-side (isn’t that what Spotify is for?) If that’s you, a pre-spiked decrease lash strip will prevent the effort and time.
White Eyeliner

Nothing pairs with a pair of bell bottoms fairly like cheeky white eyeliner. “Even the slightest bit may be so impactful when strategically positioned,” says make-up artist Kristine Studden. Line the internal nook of the attention to widen, the waterline to open it up (like Woman Gaga has carried out right here), create a white flick for a wink of enjoyable, or strive a destructive house liner for one thing graphic like Janelle Monae. “The choices are infinite,” says Studden.
Studden likes this trusty MAC liner in Pure White. “The colour is de facto wealthy and pigmented so it pops off the pores and skin,” she says. A pencil works particularly nicely for internal corners and water traces.
When you’re trying to create a pointy flick or play with extra summary shapes, a crisp liquid liner pen will glide on extra simply. Stila’s Keep All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner is a beloved fan favourite.

Each decade has its personal pink. The ’50s had been crammed with child pink poodle skirts. The ’80s had been all about neon. Hell, the millennials even have their very own chewed bubblegum-hued pink. Within the ’70s, pink was a gentle, satiny, almost-nude pink. Charlie’s Angels pink. “Blow a kiss and beat the dangerous guys” pink.
A 70s pink lip is the right pattern to deliver into 2023 (Lila Moss and Sophie Turner are manner forward of us) as a result of there’s a hue for each pores and skin tone.
“When you’re simply beginning to play with pink, I feel it is best to start out with a lip balm,” says make-up artist Joseph Carrillo, who recommends this green-to-pink balm. “It leaves only a wash of shade, however sufficient to be noticeable,” he says.
For a barely bolder model, Carrillo recommends this satin-finish lipstick in Rosy Shell. “It has cool and heat undertones for a wider vary of pores and skin tones, and it is so fairly.”
Pastel Eyeshadow

Someplace throughout our Daisy Jones & the Six binge-watch, we had a hankering for a messy love affair, a tambourine, and pastel eyeshadow. The love affair appeared much less advisable, and the tambourine is a fast strategy to make enemies together with your neighbors, so we’re sticking with the sugar-sweet shade wash shadow pattern in gentle blues, lavenders, and pinks. (Pair this pattern with the pink lips from above and Charlie will make you an honorary Angel.)
Pastels, by nature, are inclined to disappear into the pores and skin. To present the colour some punch, Carrillo recommends beginning by masking the lids with a white primer or eyeliner.
This E.L.F. palette hits all the fashionable ’70s hues — denim blue, lilac, sage, after which some. Layer a wash of shade on prime of the white base to get probably the most shade payoff.
Dewy Basis

Basis within the ’70s was hydrated and dewy — such as you had simply spent the afternoon on the curler rink and had a light-weight glisten going. (You realize, the attractive form. Not the drenched-in-sweat form.) “Dewy is and without end would be the fountain of youth,” says Carrillo, who provides {that a} damp magnificence blender will assist to maintain issues gentle.
Carrillo recommends making use of this buildable basis that has a “attractive sheen” on the face, ears, neck, and decollete.

Bushy Brows

“’70s bush” wasn’t a time period coined for brows however we expect it incorporates multitudes. A bushy forehead has ’70s free-spirit power, however in 2023, we curate the place they land a bit extra. “Simply brush your brows frivolously into place with gel,” says Patinkin. “Step away from the tweezers.”
Patinkin extremely recommends this clear forehead gel. “It offers nice maintain with out drying stiff or crispy,” she says.
In case your brows are a lighter shade and even just a bit sparse, a saturated tinted forehead gel like Glossier’s Boy Forehead will assist to present a bushier look with out having to painstakingly paint on particular person hairs.
Bronzed Pores and skin

By the Seventies, the particular version was already a cultural phenomenon with icons like Cheryl Tiegs and Christie Brinkley gracing the duvet. Many turned to tanning beds and SPF-less tanning oil to get that sandy, ’70s surfer look. We’re a lot smarter now about reaching our seaside babe aesthetic. “I like a bronzed look, however solely when it’s from a bottle and it mimics the look of tanned pores and skin with merchandise so as to add that bronzy glow,” says make-up artist Dani Kimiko Vincent.
This gradual tanning lotion has gained Attract’s Readers Alternative Award for self-tanner many, many occasions over because of its ease of utility (no gloves required).
For face, Vincent recommends this moisturizing tint “which can be utilized alone or blended into your moisturizer or SPF for some added glow.”
Glossed Lips
“I like the playfulness of the ‘70s sheer lip gloss look,” says Vincent. “It’s enjoyable, carefree, youthful, and refreshing.” Like driving a Firebird with the home windows down and Electrical Gentle Orchestra on the radio. Vincent recommends reaching for a easy gloss or lip oil, however prep for this pattern will go a great distance. “As with every lip product utility, it begins with exfoliated lips so there are not any snags within the end.”
Vincent recommends this glassy, thick gloss which is available in a number of nude and sheer shades with a contact of shimmer.
“These lip oils are non-sticky, and have a wealthy, balmy texture,” says Vincent. “I like the mirror gloss shine and the lip-caring formulation,” which incorporates nourishing cherry oil.
Naked Pores and skin
If Janis Joplin wrote for Attract, she’d be singing the praises of lovely naked pores and skin. Patinkin agrees however understands in case you have a few spots you would possibly need to cover. “Naked pores and skin that will get just a bit contact up with concealer is a good way to steadiness desirous to look ‘good’ and desirous to look pure,” she says. “I like to use a creamy concealer beneath the eyes, across the nostril, and on the chin.”
When you’re going Janis Joplin naked, all you’ll want is a nourishing moisturizer. Studden likes the dewy shine of Creme de La Mer, both throughout or used as a highlighting sheen on the cheekbones.
For a extra accessible possibility, do this juicy hydrating moisturizer with squalane that gives all-day hydration.

When you’re searching for late-night dancing at Studio 54, glittery, shimmery disco eyes are the worth of admission. “To get the take a look at house, end off your eyeshadow look by utilizing your finger to put a fantastic glitter or shimmer shade over your complete lid, working your strategy to the outer corners of the shadow,” says Vincent.
If you wish to go all in on glitter (and who doesn’t?), a gel or glitter shadow will coat the lid like a disco ball. We love how thick this paste-like formulation goes on (and doesn’t shed).
For extra of a metallic Ziggy Stardust look, swipe on this buildable shimmery liquid shadow on prime of your powder eyeshadow for an opaque end.

If a assertion lip is Marilyn Monroe and a assertion eye is Sophia Loren, an announcement lip and an announcement eye collectively is ’70s Diana Ross. At this time, bold-on-bold is an much more heightened model of Diana’s look — strive an orange-red lip and a smoked-out cat-eye in a shade of your selection. “It is simply make-up. It must be enjoyable,” says Studden. If this all appears like loads, Carrillo recommends sticking to berry tones. “Utilizing plums and cranberries is simply as dramatic as a blue eyeshadow and orange lip,” he says.

Discover a complementary lipstick shade in a slick satin end. (Studden loves this wealthy formulation from Yves Saint Laurent.) We like “Le Orange” to match a smoky black or gunmetal shadow.

Early ’70s Twiggy made us rethink the form of our eyeliner and in 2023, her legacy remains to be seen in our youngest, freshest superstars (Olivia Rodrigo is the patron saint of Gen Z, in any case). It additionally boasts somewhat operate with its fashionable kind: “One of many superb issues a few minimize crease liner is it actually can reshape an eye fixed,” says Carrillo. “In case you have a monolid or a hooded lid, it may well assist to deliver again depth.”
