She was the bombshell of the early Seventies. The cat eyes, nude lips, and voluminous hair were all trademarks of Raquel Welch's in-your-face, va-va-voom sex appeal. Here, I've done a modern version on myself...

I used a slightly darker foundation than I normally wear to give myself a more medium complexion...then I layered two different bronzers-- the first was a Wet & Wild matte coverage bronzer, and the second is my favorite bronzer made by The Body Shop that has an illuminating effect for that 'on vacation glow'. Lastly, I used a brown toned blush on the apples of the cheeks.
EYES
Any kind of earthy tone shadows work well for this look. I used two together-- a bronzy gold and a shimmery gray. Then to get the cat eye look I used a Fabuliner which is an eyeliner that reminds me of a felt pen and drew an upward/outward wing. I used a black pencil liner on the bottom rims and gray liner on the waterline. Mascara was the final touch. A voluminous mascara works best for this look.
LIPS
A very important part of this look, I used a super inexpensive lipstick from a 5 and Dime store by a brand called L.A. Colors in a color called Nude ($1!). Then I applied a clear gloss for depth and followed up with another coat of lipstick. The lip/eye contrast is really stunning and fun to wear. Heads will turn.
