Do you want to see a 1980 makeup tutorial from Joan Collins....

[ColdemortReturns]

Of course you do, it is just fabulous.
Put the blusher down Joan!

@justanotherneighinparadise

Was she really in her 40s here? 😮

Someone in the comments said 1980. If anything, I think the 'look' (no such thing as too much blusher) is a bit later. So 47-50. Incredible isn't it

Hmmm yes I think she has. I guess the only other option is fillers, Botox and that new thing where they inject a layer of fat and sort of smooth it all over your face to plump it out. It begins with a v but can’t remember the word.

With most people it looks dreadful but whoever she uses manages to keep it super classy.

Fabulous.

More blusher.
More purple.

Joan is my hero
What a great video

Only thing I'd wonder, is if that was available in the 80's when she was in her 50's? But if it is surgery, then I'm fighting you for the surgeon

I loved that
It's true my mum did that with her make up
Brow pencil for everything 🤣

This was brilliant to watch! She is so skilled, although she has an amazing canvas to work on.
More is more - this was the 80's after all!

That was fabulous! She is absolutely amazing always has been . I would love to know who does her work because it's so very subtle.

I have always loved the glamour of Joan Collins, she has managed to retain her good looks so well. She always say she has never had face surgery etc. You can always tell when some women have face surgery, as it always looks awful in lots of cases.

I loved watching this. I didn't realise how beautiful she was. The hair distracts from her face. I loved that the fact that she said you need to change your looks and make up! More blusher! Purple everywhere. My hero.

This is the book you all need (1980). It's fabulous. Joan does the splits in it too and suggests Rice Krispies with cream for breakfast in the diet section (pre Atkins). There was an exercise LP released at the same thing but unfortunately I never managed to track one down. She has a step by step makeup guide and a list of all the items you need for your wardrobe. I have all her beauty books!

She was in a recent series of American Horror Story and she looked amazing

My god, she's gorgeous.

I think her face has such a beautiful heart shape.

That book looks amazing! I want it. 80s make is making a come back too.

Work out with Joanie.

Essential reading

I thought her eyelashes were on when she put on the mascara, but no, they were natural and then she added more 😲 she is a legend.

She has...a list of all the items you need for your wardrobe.

Brilliant! Tell us what they are. Joan’s recommendations will not be blah blah little black dress crisp white shirt yawn. I bet her list includes eg gold turban.

For your enjoyment

There's a chapter on wigs too!
There's a few copies of this treasure on eBay. Run!

That’s our Joan. If you only have one skirt, let it be BURGUNDY VELVET.

I love this! We seem so far at the moment from dressing 'for a sporty look', although that's maybe where I'm going wrong.
Currently my look is:
Pyjamas.
Or
Not pyjamas.
Joan would be horrified!

Somewhere in the house I have Britt Ekland's Guide to Sensual Beauty (and all the Victoria Principal beauty/diet/exercise books). Britt has a chapter on Makeup to Make Love in!
