Make-Up in the 70′s
One of my illicit pleasures in the ’70s, while still only a schoolgirl, was stealing a peek in my Mum’s Cosmopolitan magazine. It was strictly forbidden of course, being ‘unsuitable’ for me, and kept hidden in Mum’s bedroom . Inside were pages of gloss and glamour, hints at risqué activities I could only guess about, the odd nude body, and arty shots of models with beautifully made-up faces.

Smooth a taupe base colour over the upper eyelid and brow area, and then accentuate the socket with a darker brown colour, blended in well up towards the eyebrows. Use this …

However, Sandy’s first, well-scrubbed appearance in ‘Grease’ is quickly eclipsed by the transformation into vampish hottie by the end of the movie. In fact, Sandra Dee seems to embody every man’s fantasy of the girl next door: all sugar and spice, but secretly hiding her true colours as a gyrating, sex-kitten, clad in black satin and four inch heels.
