Make up styles and fashion carry on to evolve and modify with each decade creating it’s own style of make up proficiencies and costume that sets it apart from former years. The 1970′s era was no different, perchance being the primary time that permitted women to work out for themselves what wasn’t comfortable or was.

Mini-skirts, maxi-skirts or hot pants formed share of a woman’s closet and she wore them when she wanted to. Evening wear consisted of a halter top with evening trousers or maxi-skirt. Empire line dresses were very frequent in a mini-skirt style or a more conventional knee length (midi – length).

The 1970′s era was characterized by an almost anything goes approach with styles ranging from clunky to soft and feminine. It was a turbulent time for the duration of which feminists protested, with the Vietnam War and Watergate Scandal hot topics in the media together with global pollution fears. These events inspired fashion designers to design cutting edge, as well as more comforting items.

Fashion changes affected both women and men. Nike, founded in 1972, made a strong get started in spite of the athletic craze not being big, but running shoes became necessary additions to women’s and men’s closets as more persons begun running. Men begun borrowing women’s costume and took to wearing make up and using clear polish on their nails. Blouses, Boas, and slinky shirts became the in thing for celebrities in the music and television scenes.

Hair styles extrapolated by Farrah Fawcett, were straight and long, parted more or less to one side with wings and necessitated hours with a straightening iron, curling iron, mouse, and spray. Any outdoor or athletic action would demolish the hair style. However, Afro perms were also the in thing and necessitated only an air arid and a pick to fluff them.

Disco became standard and the fashion style of John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever swept the nation by storm and made it’s exit just as quickly, perchance because skin tight pants, slinky shirts and platform shoes were so uncomfortable.

Make up was soft, fresh and natural looking and women who wanted sun tanned looks without exposure to destructive sunrays, employed phony tans and bronzers. Foundation was seldom used, but when it was no powder was applied, leaving a shimmer or sheen to the skin while lipstick, blush and eye shadows were natural colors with a bit of shimmer.

Lip liner, mascara and caked on foundations did not feature while eye shadows that shimmered, muted blush, and frosted lipstick were the mainstays of a 70′s woman on the go.
