A fresh twist on 70s glamor\u2014exaggerated volume and drama are married to the subtle edginess of a modernist approach. This look pays homage to the enduring influence of a beauty icon, none other than the original lash goddess, Diana Ross. In 1969, Ross took to the stage in golden sequins singing dreamily, detached, omnipotent and angelic: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m gonna wash that man right out of my hair. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A timeless fusion of delicate femininity and a splendorous personal power. A wild head of hair, adorned with flowers, lures us into a world of pure fantasy. Modeled by our muse Celine, this new beauty look captures the enduring influence of a leading lady, making it wearable with a little white tank and a fresh face. As for the rest? Lips: rosy, au natural, nearly bare. Brows: polished and clean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our muse Celine models the mantra that bigger is better in this look that walks the line between minimalist and maximalist makeup. Spiky yet fluttery lashes and a bronzed, fresh complexion meet up to deliver an ultra-feminine aura that mingles with a nostalgic touch of 70s-glam and long, electric nights filled with Latin music and dancing. The purpose of a lash: to captivate and enchant. While we kept the rest of the look grounded with a neutral-tone lip and barely-there makeup, the main components of the look are versatile and can be mixed and matched, dressed up with a bold lip or a dark liner as day turns to night. The original lash goddess Diana Ross knew that layers of mascara and feathered falsies are just as immaculate when worn with heavier blush, foundation, and a bold lip. Or, try it our way: a juxtaposition of editorial and the casual everyday.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_820\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-820\" style=\"width: 1311px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-820 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/nobasicgirlsallowed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tumblr_a23c4be3ab284a32d9d28ef128bdc108_48c01e2c_2048.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1311\" height=\"883\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-820\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Celine Tyson NBGA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SKIN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our objective is to keep the skin gorgeous, but simple. A fresh, natural-looking complexion is the foundation for this beauty look. Start by hydrating the skin using MAC Cosmetics\u2019 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13824\/364\/products\/skincare\/moisturizers\/strobe-cream?shade=Pinklite_%28Original_Strobe_Cream%29\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strobe Cream<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Pinklite and iS Clinical\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/isclinical.com\/youth-intensive-creme.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youth Intensive Cream<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Prioritize moisture and nourishment before beginning with the makeup application\u2014since the focus for this look will be the eyes, we\u2019ll be bringing a lot of attention to the face. Prepare the face by applying MAC\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.ca\/product\/13847\/119586\/products\/makeup\/face\/foundation\/studio-radiance-serum-powered-foundation?shade=NC38\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (shade #NC38) using the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13805\/105334\/products\/brushes-tools\/brushes\/face-brushes\/001-serum-moisturizer-brush\/skincare-brush?size=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">001 Serum + Moisturizer Brush<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a polished and natural finish. Conceal under the eyes using a small coin-sized amount of Glossier\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glossier.com\/en-ca\/products\/stretch-balm-concealer?utm_content=158366262851-670747586823&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA2KitBhCIARIsAPPMEhIxmpIK37BfU8pfD5nguA6zcgtNtwmBII48P7KsmqXhA0IG1_yJJpcaAn13EALw_wcB\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stretch Balm Concealer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To add a subtle, sultry flush to the apples of the cheeks, gently apply MAC\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13842\/329\/products\/makeup\/face\/blush-bronzer\/powder-blush?shade=Melba\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Powder Blush<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the soft peach shade Melba. Next, we want to warm up the face and bring some angles into play using Simi Haze\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/ca\/en\/product\/skin-suede-melting-bronze-balm-P508289\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin Suede Melting Bronze Balm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Terracotta on the cheekbones, jawline, nose, and temples for added dimension. As a final touch, set the undereye area and center of the forehead using Chanel\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chanel.com\/ca-en\/makeup\/p\/132210\/poudre-universelle-libre-natural-finish-loose-powder\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural Finish Loose Powder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Ideally, you want to apply this product with a big, fluffy blush to help disperse the product lightly and evenly, mattifying the skin for a natural, radiant finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>EYES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vision for the eyes was all about drama, drama, drama.

Intensifying the eyes even more, MAC\u2019s Eye Kohl in Feline was applied to the waterline and to the inner corners of the eyes. We opted for a dynamic lash approach, featuring both the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13837\/82601\/products\/makeup\/eyes\/eyelashes\/mac-lash-88-stunner-lash\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">88 Stunner Lash<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13837\/299\/products\/makeup\/eyes\/eyelashes\/mac-lash-7-free-spirit-lash\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 Free Spirit Lash<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With the 88 Stunner Lash\u2014curled faux lashes featuring eye-opening volume\u2014we applied them on the upper lash line, carefully securing them in place with the MAC Cosmetics\u2019 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13837\/321\/products\/makeup\/eyes\/eyelashes\/duo-adhesive\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duo Adhesive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lash glue. Doubling up on the glam element, we then took the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13837\/299\/products\/makeup\/eyes\/eyelashes\/mac-lash-7-free-spirit-lash\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 Free Spirit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mod-inspired lashes and cut each lash strip into three equal pieces, creating a gradient effect on the lower lash line. Place the short lashes on the inner corner and the longest piece on the outer corner of the lower lash line, firmly secured with adhesive.

This ensures a clean appearance and longer lasting finish. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insider tip: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">include this step in your skin preparation to give the product some time to work its magic before adding any color products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the lips, we kept them almost natural with a hint of color by outlining the lips using MAC\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13852\/340\/products\/makeup\/lips\/lip-liner\/lip-pencil?shade=Whirl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lip Liner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the dirty rose shade Whirl.
