70s Fancy Dress - Abbas Agnetha Make-Up Guide

How to recreate Agnethas look from her Abba heydays for a huge, 70s bash?Everybody remembers the blue eye shadow and Nordic blonde hair, but if you would like to get the look down perfectly, kick off the day before.

One of Agnethas most striking features is her dewy, fresh complexion, so make sure your skin is glowing by exfoliating carefully and applying a face pack to suit your own skin type. The day before is the perfect time to do that, giving your complexion time to settle down and be most receptive to moisturising overnite.

ensure that eyebrows are plucked into a thin arch fuzzy is unquestionably not the look! And most importantly, try to get a good nights sleep
On the big event, apply a sheer foundation all over ; or if youve got a naturally fresh appearance, a tinted moisturiser may be all you need. Cover up any marks, under-eye shadows, or spots, with a good concealer, dotting it on sparingly after applying foundation. Let the warmth from your fingertip mix it into your skin, and try hard not to rub. If your skin has a tendency to be oily, a fast dusting of see-through powder will help to mend your base before moving on to the colour

First, line the eyes at the base of the lashes with a deep blue liner ; take this all round the eye including into the corners. At the inner corner of each eye, under the lashes, apply a dot of highlighter and mix conscientiously towards the outer corners, which may open and brighten the eyes. On the lids, smooth a sheer blue color all over, and up into the brow socket ; then use the highlighting color upon the brow bone itself which may give a wonderful wide-eyed effect! Brush a coat of black mascara on, and, when dry, tip a deep blue color just on the ends of the lashes to augment the blue-eyed look.

Lips should be glossed in a natural shade ; for fair skin use a pink shade ; darker complexions look best with a peachier color. There are such a lot of lovely, light lip glosses on the market now that youll be spoilt for choice! Finish off the look with a sprinkling of blusher high on the cheeks to add to the fresh-faced, dewy look, ensuring you select a shade which complements the lip gloss.

Few of us have that distinctive Nordic blonde hair, therefore if youre a genuine 70s addict, why not consider purchasing a wig for real Agnetha appeal? Hair is parted in the centre and flicked back at the front, then brushed into a pleasant appearance far easier to achieve those flicks than it was in the 70s though, with a whole range of hair products to select from.

ultimately, get the right look with the right gear Swedish pop sensation style! And prepare to be a superb Trouping Dancing Queen on that disco floor!
