    @panik808 Well, that would be like me talking about the fifties…make a video? Nah…I just remember the seventies…and yes, we did look made up, too…there were various ways…I still have a few magazines from the seventies…and there were more of us sewing our own clothes…most of the girls I talk to nowadays are clueless as to garment construction…sad…you can get really creative…

    @rousse61 It’s obvious that she is a bit young to be talking about first hand experience but if she is so wrong as you claim why don’t you go ahead and make a vid about what it was like in the 70′s. At least she is trying to show us,

    Okay, okay…I am doing the homework…she’s 28, telling me, a 47-year-old (who lived through the 70′s) is telling me about it? She’s a bit off….she doesn’t know about Charlie cosmetics, Coty. Max Factor…disco…there was another side of the 70′s besides earth girl…Lauren Hutton, I could go on and on….there were many phases of the 70′s…

    Cool, although i think the big thing about doing 70′s inspired makeup is making sure you include bronzer… people didnt know about skin cancer back then lol.
