    8 Retro Beauty Trends Made Modern

    By Andrea Cheng, Refinery29
    Just like fashion trends, beauty trends come and go...and come back again. While we hope some will always remain buried (cough, scrunchies), many of the ghosts of hair and makeup's past have been brought back to life to haunt the red carpet, the catwalk, and everything in between - to alluring effect.

    Ahead, we've picked out eight of our favorite back-in-the-day beauty looks and shown you how to resurrect them for modern times. Who knew recycling could be so much fun?

      High Ponytails

      The simplest and the most loved of hairstyles, the ponytail has been embraced by everyone from high-school cheerleaders to music icons (looking good, Cher).

      Make your tail stand apart from the pack by smoothing down frizz and flyways with a serum, tying it super-high, and spritzing it into place with hairspray. For the finishing touch, up the sophistication factor with a fancy add-on, like here at Jason Wu. Take a strip of your favorite textile, wrap around the base, and secure in place with bobbies. Black latex? Sure! A girlier lace? Why not! The sky's the limit, really.
