How to Achieve That 70s Glam for a Sunset Party

Darlings, if there’s one era that knew how to bring effortless glamour to a summer night, it’s the 1970s. Think sunkissed skin, bold eyes, glossy lips, and flowing silhouettes—perfect for sipping cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon. Whether you're channeling Brigitte Bardot’s sultry gaze or Farrah Fawcett’s golden glow, here’s your guide to nailing that 70s glam for your next sunset party.

1. That Signature 70s Glow 

The secret to vintage-inspired beauty? Dewy, bronzed skin that looks like you've just spent the day on the French Riviera.

Start with a glowy base – Use a lightweight tinted moisturizer or a radiant foundation to even out your complexion while keeping it fresh.

Bronze, don’t bake – Sweep a warm bronzer across your cheeks, temples, and jawline for that effortless, sun-kissed effect.

Highlight like a disco queen – A touch of golden highlighter on the high points of your face will catch the light just right as the sun sets.

2. Eyes That Mesmerize 

70s eye makeup was all about drama—whether you prefer smoky lids, pastel hues, or ultra-defined lashes, there's a look for every disco darling.

Go for golden hour tones – Use warm shimmery eyeshadows like champagne, bronze, or peach to match the sunset.

Graphic liner for extra flair – Channel your inner 70s bombshell with a bold cat-eye or even a floating crease line for that true retro vibe.

Lashes, the bigger the better – Coat your lashes with lengthening mascara, or go all out with fluttery falsies for that Studio 54 effect.

3. Lips Made for Kissing (or Sipping Cocktails) 

A 70s lip is all about soft, luscious glamour.

Gloss is your best friend – A sheer peachy or nude gloss gives that fresh, effortless feel.

For a bolder moment – A brick red or burnt orange lipstick makes a statement while keeping with the 70s aesthetic.

4. Retro Waves & Flowy Fashion 

70s Hair Goals – Think voluminous waves, a chic headscarf, or a sleek half-up, half-down look. Bonus points if you go for the classic Farrah Fawcett feathered hair.

Grab your cocktail, soak in the golden hour glow, and let your 70s goddess shine!
