If You’re Craving Colour, Here’s A Beauty Look That’ll Make You Happy

Makeup artist Yen Hoang shows us how to recreate an iconic 70s eye.

The 70s are back in fashion and in beauty too, so we asked makeup artist Yen Hoang @yenmakeup_ to help translate the disco era into a mood-boosting modern day look.

Yen uses the Tan Lines, Sea Shells and Ultraviolet eyeshadows from the ICONIC London Sunset to Sunrise Palette for a bold burst of colour. Her tip: Use a firm brush to apply eyeshadow for intense colour payoff, then use a soft fluffy brush in gentle circular motions to blend and diffuse eyeshadow.

For added intensity, Yen applies a touch of Napoleon Perdis Loose Eye Dust to the inner corners of her eyes and a coating of Ere Perez Natural Almond Mascara. Her advice: Wet loose pigment using water or a mixing medium to create a metallic eyeshadow finish or use as an eyeliner, highlight or mix it into your lipgloss.

For her brows, Yen uses the Napoleon Perdis Fixated Brow Styling Soap to create a fluffy brow effect. Her beauty secret: Use the flat end of the spoolie brush to press and set your brows in place.

And to complete the look, Yen finishes with the Ere Perez ‘Fun’ Beetroot Cheek & Lip Tint. Her tip: A little goes a long way, so use a small amount and gradually build to your desired look, blending as you go as the product will set quicker than you think.
