Ahead, we've rounded up a list of '70s-themed makeup looks that will make you want to throw a disco party ASAP.

This demure makeup look with visible liner on the top and bottom lash line to create a rounded "doe-eyed" look fits right in with the natural beauty makeup trends of the '70s. Paired with a nude lip and a matte complexion, it's also versatile enough for everyday wear.

Metallic eyeshadows had their moment in the '70s and continue to be popular today. The contrast between this shadow's blue and purple tones complements each other. With natural lips and cheeks, the eyes are the focus, and for good reason.

Disco Ball

There was no shortage of disco balls in the '70s, and this look is right on theme. Silver metallic eyeshadow applied on the lids to the brows, along with spidery-like false lashes, have a retro feel, and iridescent lip gloss ties everything together.

Mix and Match

Makeup trends of the '70s mixed the right amount of sheer and bold colors, and this look is a great example. It combines soft, pastel eyeshadow on the lids and bolder, defined lipstick. A generous amount of blush applied high on the cheekbones makes us want to head out for a midnight dance-off.

Strobe Light

Add a strobe light accent to your lids by applying liquid glitter eyeliner to the crease for a half-dome shape. Glossy lips pick up the shimmering accent from the liner, and there's nothing else needed to complete this look.

Winged eyeliner is always a good idea. This liner applied to the top and bottom eyes show how liner can instantly transform any look. Find a soft eyeliner that glides on smoothly like Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Eyeliner in "Nightflash" ($32) glides on easily and adds sparkle.

Bold eyeliner with glossy lids and lips adds a foxy touch suitable for your next party—the more dramatic the eyes are, the better. For a glossy lid look, apply Surratt Beauty Lid Lacquer in Kogecha ($36) in layers for a shine that lasts and is easy to touch up.
