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.
