Iconic Looks Over The Years To Fuel Your #MakeupInspiration

Makeup and beauty trends come and go, but if you stick with the iconic looks that have withstood the test of time, there’s no way you can go wrong. Stock up on staples and find your new favourites at Rustan’s The Beauty Source’s biggest event of the year, Beauty Addict. For the sixth year, Beauty Addict is partnering with Metrobank Femme Card for 2018’s theme: Beyond Time. Here are some styles you can cop with products you can easily find at Rustan’s The Beauty Source:

1. The Roaring Twenties

The flapper era was all about extravagance and drama, as such, “smoky eyes” was the way to go. Achieve this look with the help of Nars’ single and duo eyeshadow featuring Pigment Power Suspension technology.

It was also the pre-foundation and concealer age, so all the women had to go on with was powder to keep their visage fair and even. Good thing the modern times has brought about innovations like Laura Mercier’s Translucent Setting Powder to hold everything—even the heaviest of makeup—together.

Finally, what’s a 1920s inspired look without a spritz of Garbrielle Chanel?

2. Old Hollywood Glam

It was during the 1950s when women started upping the brow game and readily invested on skincare. For that, begin with La Prairie’s Luxe Cream with Caviar Premier for the perfect canvas. For the best arch, go with Nars’ Brow Perfector.

This era also marked a shift from red to pink puckers, which you can have with Jane Iredale’s Triple Luxe in Megan.

3. Flower Power

The 1970s was a time when women embraced the sun-kissed and natural look. Cop this look using Murad’s Nutrient-Charged Water Gel for a perfectly moisturised face, Laura Mercier’s Face Illuminator for just the right glow, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 Scented Body Oil for satin-smooth skin. Finally, perfectly encapsulating the spiritual wave that swept the era is Diptyque’s Fleur de Peau.

4. Edgy Nineties

The 1990s was all about edginess, which called for extreme hairdos, statement eyeliner, and pencil-thin brows, among other trends. To emulate the style of the decade, try L'Occitane Huilles Essentielles for your hair so you can achieve any look.

Electric blue eyeshadow and grunge liners were also popular in this decade. Whichever you decide to try, you’ll greatly benefit from Laura Mercier’s Blurring Powder because it will keep your eyes looking refreshed.

5. Modern Minimalist

This era is notable for its obsession with natural-looking makeup anchored on good skin that glows from within. One way to get that glow is to have a good night’s sleep, but if you pair that with Dermalogica’s Sound Sleep Cocoon treatment gel-cream, you’ll wake up to transformed skin.

Good skin also means evading the most obvious signs of ageing, and you can do just that with Sisley’s Hydra-Global Serum Anti-Ageing Hydration Booster.

Finally, another key to the no-makeup makeup look is smooth skin, which you can achieve with the aid of Perricone MD’s No Makeup Instant Blur.
