There’s something about 1970s style—groovy florals, golden hues, disco glam—that we can’t get enough of. It’s happy, it’s hippy, and just as cool as ever. To prove that this era lives on (in the best way) in 2020, we’re crowdsourcing our fave technicolor makeup, manis, and far-out hairstyles. Plus, you’ll get an inside look at the brand launch that’s quickly turning heads.
