Take a page out of the past, as beauty trends call up images of the ’40s, ’60s and ’80s.  However, don’t make a case what goes around must come around, upgrade the retro look, give it a new take by putting it in sync with the present.  The popular trends that seem to be popping up on runways include:

Smokey Blue
As a rule when we want to go for a smokey look, we tend to stick to black, brown or gray eyeliner.  Be more daring this time round and go smudgy with blue, a colour reminiscent of the 1980s.  New wave aficionados will love your dark navy blues or shimmery sapphires or sky blue smudges that open up the eyes.  A beauty tip for this new hit from the past: go for a more natural look by skipping the blush.

Waves, Curls And Swirls
Have barrel loads of fun by giving your hair giant curls a la Rita Hayworth in Gilda.  You will need lots of volume for this style, so start by creating a deep part on one side, so that the other side has masses more ringlets than the other.  Use a medium-sized curling iron barrel to help curls retain their rolls.  To be the centre of attention, up the hot ‘n sexy quotient painting your lips Veronica Lake red.

Black As A Chimney Sweep
Sooty, sooty, sooty, blacker than black eyeliner in sooty smudges will give you a rock and roll look, finishing off with black, black, black mascara.  Since, a little goes a long way, skip lipstick in favour of a nude lip gloss.

Popping Purple
Let your lips go violet, purple or magenta, topping off with a touch of clear gloss.

Bird’s Nest Messy Up do
Bedroom hair is in, so throw back your messy locks into a messy bun and get away by looking glamorous and oh so sexy!  Fine, super straight should be voluminised and then wound around a wide-barrel curling iron for loose curls.  Then pin back hair, creating ringlets with loose curls.  Deconstruct the familiar round bun to put this look together.
