The epitome of that dark vampy 70s look! Biba was HUGE! I used to pinch my sister's make up, she had pots of the darkest plum and a duck egg! And we sure had those thin thin brows...mine have never grown back!😆💋

[@MyVintageLove]

Love it! Do you have any pics of the looks you created on yourself? Yes, sometimes brows don't grow back! Eeeep!

[@studious_nonchalance]

I love love love Biba! And the light brow looks so fresh to me! She looks gorgeous! I wish someone would do a Biba homage collection for us Biba fans to play with!

[@MyVintageLove]

Thank you so much! I also wish Biba would relaunch a cosmetic line- I would love that! I believe Biba has attempted to relaunch the fashion line a few times but without Barbara Hulanicki so it didn't succeed.

This is an amazing tutorial and I am surprised this hasn't had way more views! I was a 90s teen and I loved this look without yet knowing what it was. The lip colors we had in those days were very similar, and most girls of my generation also thinned their brows. I used to watch my grandma skillfully draw on her eyebrows in the morning when I went to visit her as a girl and I was mesmerized by that process! I was utterly in love with dark blue lipstick, and most days I'd have a blotted layer of black lipstick as my base. I feel like this look definitely evolved into or at least influenced some of the lighter 80s deco revival looks that existed in the early 80s, which were a lot more mauve, less brown, but the vamp/doll/deco aspects were still there.

[@MyVintageLove]

Thank you so much and I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! I also wish it had more views! I'm a 90s teen too and I remember those skinny brows (some girls are doing that again- yikes!) and blue lipstick- very Biba!

[@michelemilne9612]

🌷I love seeing alternative looks. It is great to own your look instead of following the crowd.

[@MyVintageLove]

Absolutely! I'm all about that!

[@dazzlingchick]

💋Absolutely love Biba! You do a fantastic job every time. From one artist to another “you rock.” Continued blessings. ~Love&Light💖Carli

[@MyVintageLove]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that from a fellow makeup artist!

[@reneemanzoor746]

Thank you thank you thank you again! I did partial of my makeup decluttering yesterday and a lot of cleaning today. After over 14 hours of work at home, had a hot shower and lay on my couch with an ice capp to sooth myself infront of the TV when I got your notification. Needless to say that it made my day yet again. This makeup is sooooo me. I actually went on Etsy this morning and bought these beautiful handmade clay vintage gothic Lolita doll pendants and they go so much with this makeup. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MyVintageLove]

I'm so glad it made your day and that you enjoyed it! Those Lolita doll pendants sound really cool!

[@lolameraz536]

WOW! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFULLLL!

[@MyVintageLove]

Yes, I totally agree!!

[@akbflo]

Oh my word, I was HOPING you would do a Biba tutorial. I got off IG for my mental health, but maybe like a year ago on IG you told me about Biba, and I was delighted to hear about it. It’s sooo my aesthetic. Can’t wait to watch this video!

[@daphne4983]

Yes but only in pictures. Not on my own face.

[@MyVintageLove]

Awwww, I'm hoping this lived up to your expectations! I really enjoyed making this and love this look. Thank you for watching!

[@somewhereoveronrainbow4415]

Not only are you a fantastic make-up artist, but your tutorialls are a perfect combination of the technique with the history behind it. I LOVE watching these even though I have usually only worn cosmetics for special occasions. Thank you so much for putting these up for all of us to enjoy!

[@MyVintageLove]

Thank you SO much for your kind words! I'm so glad that you're enjoying the videos so much! We put a lot of love and work into them, so it's so nice to know that they're being watched and appreciated!!

[@lesleyscott938]

Wow absolutely spot on ❤

[@MyVintageLove]

Thank you so much!

[@sophroniel]

BOY HOWDY I AM HEAR FOR BRUISED FRUIT COLOURS AHHHHHH

[@MyVintageLove]

I love that you used the phrase "Boy Howdy", LOL! This is my favorite comment ever!

[@akbflo]

I got an eyeshadow palette today (treated myself for my birthday!) with some fantastic bruised fruit colors so I can do some Biba eyes!! It’s the Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Storm palette - ignore the bright pink and purple and focus on those rich golds and deep browns and plums and you are on your way!! I can’t wait until it’s cool enough to wear my cloche hats with my Biba eyes!!

[@yukokokoko3343]

Love Love this look!! I wanna see your make up too! you also look so beautiful!

[@MyVintageLove]

Thank you so much! I’ll do a makeup tutorial on myself soon!
