9. Twiggy lashes
In the 60s, Twiggy made everyone swoon with her lashes, but it sparked an unfortunate trend in the 70s where heavy mascara led to a clumpy, stuck-together look that was more frightening than cute.
10. Headbands on the forehead
We love a good headband when it pulls the hair out of the face, but the bohemian trend of a low-slung headband was everywhere in the 70s. It flattens your hair, leaves lines on the skin, and doesn’t channel the hippie energy in a carefree way, instead looking forced.
11. Matching your eye shadow to your outfit
Too much matching can absolutely be a bad thing. In the 70s, people often wore a bright green or blue eyeshadow and matched it with a dress that was the same color. Instead of looking chic, it ended up having a costume effect.
12. Bowl cut hair
The bowl cut was more popular in the 1970s than it should have been. Who wants a helmet of hair? Apparently, many people in this decade want to wear a modern and low-maintenance look. Today, the bowl cut is associated with an awkward childhood photo rather than the height of style.
