Retro glam like Adele

She was the undisputed queen of this year’s star-studded Grammy Awards.

But Brit singer Adele didn’t just sweep the board in terms of gongs, she also stole the show with her retro glamorous beauty.

Eyes

Lavish lashes and retro eyeliner flicks ramped up the drama of Adele’s 60s-inspired look. For a similar aesthetic, choose individual false lashes, rather than strips, and gradually build up density in the outer corners of the eyes for a modern twist on the retro look. For super-luxe eyeliner flicks like Adele’s, choose a richly-pigmented liquid liner, such as Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Liner, and trace from the inner to the outer corners of the eyes, adding a little flick.

Lips

Lipstick-loving Adele updated her pout three times throughout the night. But our favourite was the bold dash of peachy red matte lipstick, which really finished off her retro look. For a similar look, try So Chaud by Mac.

Skin

For luminous skin like Adele’s use a light-reflecting foundation that gives a satin finish. For a glowing look, try Yves Saint Laurent Teint Radiance Foundation and opt for a cream blusher to contour the cheekbones. Finish off with a dusting of bronzer.

Hair

Va-va-voom volume and bombshell blonde waves were the order of the day for Adele. To achieve bouncy curls like the singer’s use heated rollers and make sure you set the look with a firm-hold hairspray.
