Every decade is marked with specific trends in makeup.
In the Roaring Twenties, women bucked convention and cut their hair into masculine bobs and paired it with vampy makeup. Eyes were smokey and lips were bold. Eyebrows were thin and dark and thanks to Co Co Chanel, 'it' girls sported bronzed, tanned skin.
In the fifties, it was all about the girl next door look during the day and the strong cat-eye ala Sophia Loren for the evening.
How about the Sixties? The doe eyed gaze of Twiggy with her mod fashions and the pale shimmery lips or maybe you prefer the fresh faced simplicity of the flower child.
Perhaps the seventies were your bag. Makeup was softer unless you were waiting on line to get into Studio 54. In that case, you were sporting strong lipliner, eyeshadow up to the browbone with heavy highlighter and winged hair.
The eighties were all about excess. Strong styles to match the freespending ways of this decade. Punk, prep, new wave or Valley Girl; chic.... the eighties was a bastion of wild makeup looks.
In this challenge, Specktra invites you to explore and recreate the makeup trends of your favorite decade. Whether you go for the Fifties Glamour or the cutting edge styles of today's subculture, one thing is for sure; there are a lot of avenues to explore here.
As always ladies.. have fun and do participate!
