Make-Up in the 1970s : Blondie's Deborah Harry
Blondie's front lady, Deborah Debbie Harry, was a punk / new wave icon in the 1970s. She's well known for her messy bleached blonde hair and bright red lipstick.

To get Debbie Harry's look, begin by trying a transparent liquid foundation to the face. To spotlight the cheek bones, sweep a blush across the cheek and bring it all the way to the church for a fierce rock star look. For fairer complexions, try a dusty rose or light pink blush ; for darker complexions, try a rose blush or one with peach or coral undertones. To contribute to the glam, brush some sheer sparkle face powder over the cheek bones, highlighting the previously applied blush.

Smoldering eyes with bright eye shadows was very fashionable during the 1970's punk music age. Apply any shade of pink eye shade OTT eyelids up all of the way to the eyebrow. For a bolder look barely dampen the eye shadow before applying it to the lid, this could cause the shadow to become brighter and more solid looking. Next, employ a slanted eye shadow brush to apply a silver eye shadow to the outer lid, sweeping it in toward the interior of the eye along the crease of the lid, extending up slightly below the brow. Use a solid black eye pencil to line the lower and upper lash lines. Make the higher lash line a little thicker than the bottom. Barely dampen the silver eye shadow then use it on the top lid just above the black liner. Apply the dampened silver eye shadow on the lower lid slightly below the black liner. This will tie the look together.

Snag Debbie Harry's signature bright red lips by lining the lips with a red lip pencil. Fill in the lips with a bright red lipstick. For a glam look, utilise a shimmery lipstick. For Debbie Harry's classic look, stick with either a bright orange red or a true red shade.

Another signature of Debbie Harry's in the 1970s was her untidy bleached blonde hair, worn either just above or below the shoulders. The more your hair looks like you just rolled out of bed, the more punk music the look. To fake the messy look, try spiral curling the hair into sections, then run your fingers through the freshly styled hair before it cools. Flipping your hair a number of times adds to the messy look, making it appear more natural.

Debbie Harry frequently wore one strapped tank tops with stripes in both bright colours and black. For cooler climates, wear a short jean jacket over the shirt and add some buttons to enhance the punk music look. Thin silver ring earrings and multiple necklaces in both silver and black will also help tie together the 1970's punk music look Deborah Harry made so famous.

In the 1970s, Blondie's front girl, Debbie Harry, made waves in both the music and fashion scenes. Her feminine punk rock look is still a favorite style for most.
