SPARKLE AND SHINE: EMBRACING THE BOLDNESS OF 90S DISCO-INSPIRED MAKEUP

I am happy to sparkle like a glazed disco ball

Paloma Elesser

The 90s was a decade of bold and daring fashion choices, and the makeup looks of the era were no exception. One of the most popular makeup trends of the time was the disco makeup look, characterized by bright colours, glitter, and a whole lot of shine. In this blog post, we’ll take a quick look at the 90s disco makeup look and how you can recreate it today.

  1. Start with a clean and moisturized face

Before you start applying your makeup, it’s important to make sure your face is clean and moisturized. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or impurities, then apply a moisturizer to hydrate your skin and create a smooth base for your makeup.

  1. Apply a shimmery base

To create the disco makeup look, you’ll need a shimmery base to give your skin a luminous glow. Use a liquid shine-based BB cream for your face to create a dewy, radiant base on your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose (skip foundation).

  1. Add a pop of colour to the eye

The disco makeup look is all about bold, bright colours, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different shades. Use a vibrant eyeshadow palette to create a colourful eye look, with shades like hot pink, electric blue, and glittery gold. I used electric blue matt eyeshadow. Finally, use a tap of shimmery shade or glitter eyeshadow to highlight the hood of your eye and create a bright, open look.

  1. Apply bold kohl and lots of mascara to make the look more partyer. Use eyeliner if you want the more deep look. I kept it optional.

The 90s disco makeup look is all about dramatic eyes, so don’t be afraid to go bold with your eyeliner and mascara. Use a liquid or gel liner to create a thick line along your upper lash line, and to make it more entertaining, apply a few coats of volumizing mascara to your upper and lower lashes, to create a complete, fluttery look. For extra drama, you can also add a pair of false lashes to really make your eyes pop. I don’t need one as I organically have thick lashes.

  1. Finish with bold lips

The disco makeup look wouldn’t be complete without a bold lip colour. Choose a bright shade like hot pink, electric orange, or classic red, and apply it to your lips with a lip brush for a precise, defined look. I used hot pink in a matt shade.

For extra shine, add a layer of clear lip gloss over the top, or use a shimmery lip product to make your lips stand out.

Add some glitter. No disco makeup look is complete without a touch of glitter, so don’t be afraid to add sparkle to your eyes, cheeks, or lips. Use glitter eyeliner to create a bold, glittery wing, or use loose glitter to add sparkle to your cheeks or lips.

6. Curl that hair

Not too much, but just give a soft curl effect to your hair with a curling iron rod to finish this retro disco look from the 90s.

Overall, the 90s disco makeup look is all about having fun and being daring with your makeup choices. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colours and textures, and remember to always have fun and express yourself through your makeup.

Thank you so much for reading!

MAKEUP GEOMETRY

“I love the confidence that makeup gives me.” 

― Tyra Banks

Geometrical patterns are everywhere in fashion, design, and beauty. From graphic lines on clothing to modern interior spaces, these shapes bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to any look. And now, the trend is making its way into the makeup world. If you’re looking to add some excitement to your beauty routine, try experimenting with geometrical pattern makeup.

To get started, you’ll need a few essential tools and products. A fine-tip eyeliner pen is essential for creating precise lines, as I am using a red-coloured eyeliner pencil. It will help me bring my design to life. You can also use liquid eyeliner but remember that it can be trickier to control and may take a little longer to dry.

Start by creating the main shape in the centre of your lid and then build out from there. If you’re working with multiple colours, try to blend them together seamlessly for a cohesive look. As it’s my first trial on geometrically patterned makeup, I used one single colour for the blog.

One of the most popular geometrical patterns in makeup is straight lines, and for the blog, I somehow tried to create a sharp cat eye on the crease by blocking out two parallel lines. To make this look, simply draw from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner to form a sharp cat eye on the crease with a red liner pencil and fill in the space between them with red colour. You can play around with the length of the lines; I elongate the cat eye to match the length of my eyebrow. 

How to create this look, let us see here:

  • Start with a primer so your makeup lasts longer.
  • Use concealer on dark circles and any blemishes.
  • Apply a moisturizing foundation for sheer, dewy perfection.
  • Blend well and set with pressed powder.
  • Apply soft pink blush to the apple of your cheeks for a natural flush. Blend evenly for a natural-looking radiance.
  • For the eyes, start by using eye primer over your lids.
  • Pick a bright red eyeliner pencil, and apply it on the crease line.
  • Take the eyeliner from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner; for a sharp cat eye on the crease. Elongate the cat eye to match the length of your eyebrow.
  • Follow by applying mascara on the upper lashes to amplify and define the lashes.
  • Brush up the brows and fill as needed to maintain a natural look.
  • Follow with translucent lip gloss.

When creating geometrical patterns, keep in mind that symmetry is critical and being a novice in this trend it’s going to take a couple of tries to get the pattern right Whether you’re drawing parallel lines, triangles, hexagons, or diamonds, you’ll want to make sure that both sides of your face are mirror images of each other or at least you can try to be as much closer as you can.

I hope you enjoyed the post, and will definitely give it a try, it’s such a refreshing look in makeup and can easily ditch your typical makeup do’s.

RED GRAPES AND THEIR HEALTH BENEFITS

There are good days and there are grape days”

Food Truck Empire

Red grapes are one of the most popular fruits in the world and for good reason. They are packed with a variety of nutrients and health benefits that can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. So if someone asked me how I like my grapes? I would have said “RED” as Red Grapes are not only a delicious juicy fruit but also laden with major health benefits. Here are some of the key advantages of eating red grapes regularly. Such as:

  • Antioxidant-Rich: Red grapes contain a high concentration of antioxidants, such as resveratrol (a substance found in the skins of grapes and in certain other plants, fruits, and seeds) and anthocyanins, which help to protect the body against free radical damage. This can help to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases, such as cancer and heart disease.
  • Heart Health: The antioxidants found in red grapes have been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease by improving heart health. They can help to lower blood pressure and reduce oxidative stress, both of which are key risk factors for heart disease.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Red grapes have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce inflammation in the body. This can be especially helpful for those who suffer from conditions like arthritis, as it can help to reduce joint pain and swelling.
  • Immune Boosting: The high concentration of vitamins and minerals found in red grapes can help to boost the immune system. This can help to reduce the risk of developing infections and illnesses.
  • Good for Skin and Hair: The antioxidants found in red grapes can help to protect the skin against damage from free radicals, helping to prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging. They can also help to improve the health of hair, making it shinier and stronger.
  • Low in Calories: Red grapes are low in calories, making them a great option for those who are trying to lose weight. They are also a good source of fibre, which can help to keep you feeling full for longer.

In conclusion, red grapes are a delicious and nutritious fruit that can offer a wide range of health benefits. So, if you’re looking for a way to improve your health and well-being, incorporating red grapes into your diet is a great place to start

BEST FACE SCRUB: ROSE PETALS SCRUB

SLEEP, DRINK WATER AND TREAT YOUR SKIN

GEORGIA LOUISE

Winter is in full swing and so are the skin issues. Not to mention that taking care of your skin in this weather is not new but still most of us being lazy or due to busy schedules fail to do so and this results in various serious skin problems. Here in Canada, winter lasts longer than in other countries and it’s hard to keep a winter skin regimen for that long. Still, it’s really important to keep a check on our skin hydration as coping with extremely dry weather because it is not an easy task.

Skin is worse in winter as cold temperatures and low humidity levels result in dry air that draws moisture away from the skin. Harsh winter winds and indoor heating can worsen the problem and lead to cracked and super flaky skin.

There are a few excellent home remedies which simply soothe dry skin such as:

  • Applying moisturiser immediately after washing
  • Applying Lip Balm
  • Using Vitamin E riched oils rather than body lotions
  • Nice homemade DIY scrub for removing dead skin and getting a natural glow

Not to mention staying hydrated will rejuvenate your skin to look and feel smooth and soft. The outermost layer of the skin has the moisture it needs to flush away toxins and carry nutrients to the skin cell. So in order to keep that soft look uptight I opt for a DIY homemade Rose scrub from the above list.

Rose has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which are great for reducing redness on the skin and treating any blemishes. Roses are also a natural astringent, so they can help tighten your pores and hydrate your skin. I am going to use dried Rose Petals for my DIY scrub as rose petals are beneficial to health and beauty in many ways. They not only have a lovely relaxing aroma but also an extract that contains Vitamins and antioxidants which can help soothe and repair the skin.

DIY ROSE PETAL SCRUB: How to make it?

  • Take a pretty airtight container or jar
  • Take dry rose petals and crush them finely with your hands
  • Mix Coconut oil in a jar with petals
  • Add granulated sugar in the correct proportion to the petals into the jar
  • Add a few drops of fresh honey to it and blend all the ingredients together until they mix up with each other and it’s done!

DIY ROSE PETAL SCRUB: Where to keep it?

As all the ingredients are homemade and contain no preservatives, we can keep the scrub for months in an air-tight container

DIY ROSE PETAL SCRUB: When to use it?

The best time to use this scrub is right before the morning bath as the skin needs hydration most at that time. You can see results in two-three days, just keep on using it regularly

PS: For the DIY tutorial you can also watch my Instagram reel

Let’s make our skins breathable and glowing in these harsh winters. Happy scrubbing!!
