Disco Makeup Looks

Embrace your inner disco queen with bold 1970s makeup

Feel like channeling Studio 54? It’s relatively easy to look the part of a ’70s disco queen with outrageous makeup alone, although who are we to stop you from embracing a micro mini, platform shoes, a pink feather boa and a full-bodied platinum afro hairstyle? Here's how to style it up circa 1970 or try on disco makeup in our virtual makeup studio.

1970s Disco Makeup

Makeup of this glitzy, decadent era was fearless (even men wore it, along with their gold chains and unbuttoned, high-collar tops). Purple, violet and mauve were the colors of the moment.

Disco darlings reign supreme on any dance floor with pink blush, frosted eye shadow and eyes outlined with black liquid liner on the top and bottom. Big, fluttery false eyelashes are the key to pulling off this costume, and you simply must get creative with the many uses for gold glitter, applying it to the brow bone, your eyelids or your lips for maximum impact.

The dance floor is one hot spot when wearing dark lip liner and light, frosted lipstick is totally acceptable, and it actually works quite well with this untamed disco look. For other costume and disco makeup ideas, refer to reruns of That ’70s Show. --Stephanie Simons
