I liked this email much.
Probably many of you won’t get anything from it, but still.
Hello Fruity,
I have been reading your blog and following your advice for quite a while
now (and only just got around to subscribing) and I am finally coming to the
guru for advice. I have a costume party to go to in September and it is a
disco theme, I have brought a wonderful vintage blue sequined top and I need
advice on what I should do in the way of prettying up my face in a disco
style.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tahlia (Learner Fruit)
Well, Tahlia, you’ve actually got a lot of "groovy" scope here, but the immediate thing that flies to my "far out" mind is four kilos of pale blue shadow, a touch of glitter and too much pink gloss. What a "gas!"
Take the shadow (CoverGirl do a good pale pastel blue) and let rip. Go almost all the way up to the eye brow, and then dab a dot of white-based glitter or shimmer just on the actual eyeball, and under the brow bone. Don’t worry too much about blending it all in. It’s meant to look wild. Next line the top lid carefully with black liner to define the eyes and then definitely, absolutely apply some crazy false lashes. The sillier, the better. The 70s was not a time of subtlety.
Apply some shimmery pink blush to the apples of your cheeks and then proceed to apply layer upon layer of the shiniest, tackiest, juiciest, shimmery pink gloss you can get your little disco paws on. Glitter and shimmer on your body is also a "pyschadelic" option.
Here are some inspiration images.
Afro wig and gold bikini optional.
Heavy desire to get your funk on mandatory.
