When I first saw the Urban Decay Naked Honey palette I knew I wanted to try a look like this one with it. My inspiration is the makeup worn by Jerry Hall in the seventies, particularly in the video for Bryan Ferry's Let's Stick Together. There's also a bit of Debbie Harry and Kate Bush in there. It's a mixture between the bronzed and glowing natural skin and eyebrows of the seventies with some glamorous, disco elements.
I started by using the new Glossier Futuredew Oil Serum on the high points of my face for some extra glow. I'm loving this so far. I don't wear it every day but it's great for this time of year where my skin is starting to become a bit more dry from all the air conditioning and heating. For my base I used the Maybelline Dream Urban Cover which is a full coverage foundation with SPF 50. It's definitely more coverage than I would usually go for but the finish is quite natural rather than matte so it actually worked really well for this look. I've used it a few times since receiving it as a press sample a few weeks ago and I'm surprised by how much I like it considering I don't usually wear full coverage and I've never tried a Maybelline Foundation before. This is definitely worth checking out if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a foundation and you want full coverage and a high SPF. It lasts well on my skin throughout the day, I only really needed to blot my t-zone and it didn't sit in my pores the way some full coverage foundations have in the past.
I kept my eyebrows fairly natural using Soapbrows and Glossier Brow Flick, then went in with the Naked Honey palette. I started by taking Hive and Drip under my eye about two thirds of the way across starting at the outer corner and bringing the shadow out from the corner into a winged out shape. Then I built up the deepness using Sting in the outer corner of my eyelid keeping the inner corner and half the lid light and open using Golden, Honey and Flyby. It gives a wide-eyed and winged out effect at the same time. I added a little bit of YSL Touche Éclat under my eyes and down alone the sides of my nose a bit just to bring some more radiance to that area.
I applied more bronzer than I usually would as most seventies looks I found had bronzed and glowing skin. I then mixed a few Glossier Cloud Paints together to get the right shade to use as a sculpting blush, one of the most famous attributes of seventies makeup. The blush is worn more on the cheekbone and blended up rather than on the apples of the cheeks. I actually love how this turned out and I'd definitely try wearing my blush like this more often. I sometimes use Dusk Cloud Paint in this way as it's more of a neutral shade.
I finished the skin with my usual double highlighter combination of Hollywood Flawless Filter and Niteshine. Then set my t-zone and under my eyes with a touch of powder and the All Nighter Setting Spray. My favourite part of this look is probably the lips. There's something about glossy red lips that makes me feel so glamorous and confident. I wanted a more orange red shade so in keeping with the seventies theme I used Glossier Play Vinylic Lip in Casino with the clear Glossier Lip Gloss on top.
I absolutely love how this turned out, I felt so glamorous! I think this could be a gorgeous look for a night out or you could tone down the blush and wear it with a more neutral lipstick instead. You could also amp it up with liner or glitter.
