The 1970s brought on a more fresh-faced appearance, and although all of the shimmer and color of the disco halls made their way out of Studio 54 and into everyone’s makeup bags, Farrah Fawcett embodied the general aesthetic with her bronzy skin, shimmery earth-toned eye, and trademark feathered hair. This was one of my favorite looks of the week because it wasn’t too far from a look I’d realistically wear – feathered hair aside – and Laurie Forman from That ’70s Show was a minor idol of mine growing up. With Dior's Versailles shadow palette ($62), I applied the gold shade in the center of the lid up to my brow bone, then did some light contouring with the darkest brown shade before putting on eyeliner and a generous amount of mascara. I picked up a powder brush to blend Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer ($30) around the perimeter of my face and used Tarte's lip gloss in Tipsy ($19) to finish.
Recreating Farrah’s hair ended up being almost as challenging as a Charlie’s Angels mission, but only because I’m impatient. With a medium-barrel curling iron, I went section by section winding my hair outward, and clipping each ringlet in place to set. Once I had covered my entire head in pin curls, I applied a veil of the same Bumble and Bumble hairspray, and after 10 minutes, took out all of the clips and brushed my hair into a more Fawcett-like shape.
