Bubble gum colored lipstick WAS cool in the 70s! It's cool in the 2020s too I'm wearing it right now and it's called Bubble Binge (by Fenty)

I don't know what year it was, but I think it was when Donna Mills was on Knots Landing. I thought she had the most beautiful eyes and I tried to mimic her eye makeup. I got pretty good at it, too! So many different colors of shadow -- and shades I would never wear now! My eyes used to be my best feature and I got complimented on them all the time. I guess the Donna Mills eye makeup worked! LOL!

@AngelPuppy1 I believe Donna Mills had an eye kit that could mimic her look. It was sold on a shopping channel. I have large mainly blue eyes so also liked her eye make up.

I wasn't alive in the 40s, but my Mother was. I just like that peaches & cream look with unaffected, sparkling eyes and emphasis on the lips.

I loved the 70's and 80's for makeup. I think being young had a lot to do with it, though.. The older I get, the less makeup I wear the better. Back in the day, I could play with all different colors and experiment. If I wore the same looks I wore then, I think I would just look silly.

It's hard for me to choose one! I loved playing with makeup when I was young. But my favorite decade would probably be 2000 - 2010. I was wearing Stila, BB, and Laura Mercier. Then around 2006 I "discovered" QVC, Mally, and Laura Geller!

One of the first things I ordered was a complete Mally TSV. Then I first wore it on a middle school field trip. We left around 4 a.m. and I barely had time to check my makeup until we were ready for dinner. We had been in wind and outside a good part of the day. When I did check the only thing I had to replace was my lipstick! My eye makeup was perfect!

So I discovered a lot of brands I'd never heard of. I watched Laura every chance I could, and learned a lot from her. I ordered a lot. I experimented with different looks. And I had LOTS of fun!

ETA: I answered favorite decade for ME, not for makeup looks in general. Sorry if I misunderstood the question!

1979 and lasted 14 years (according to Google.) I knew it was an 80s program. I liked that show too. It was a spin off of Dallas.

I played with my Colourpop Blue Moon palette yesterday. I don't know what it is about blue eyeshadow that BLOOMS when I apply it. By the time I'm finished, blue is all the way to my brows and I swear I didn't apply it that high LOL It was a bit embarrassing to have to go to the drive thru pharmacy looking like Mimi from the Drew Carey show

@beach-mom

No, you didn't misunderstand the question...I don't think LOL Thanks for participating. I love hearing about everyone's love for makeup and time in their lives that was the most memorable.
