Yes, it's official: '80s makeup is back, and this time it's more maximalist than ever. Forget the "clean girl" minimalism of nude skin and invisible makeup; this season, the spotlight is on the girls who dare. And we're telling you right now: it's never been more fantastic.
It seems the decade that brought the world puffy shoulders and ultra-hold hairspray is making a strong comeback in our beauty routines. Inspiration? Pop stars and supermodels of the time who spared no expense when it came to makeup brushes.
The principle was clear back then: more is better. If your cheeks didn't look like light bulbs and your lips didn't catch the eye from down the hall, did you really have a clue about fashion?
Of course, the return of this trend comes with a modern update: creams replace loose powders and eye pencils are more resistant.
Here are some of the returning trends you'll start seeing everywhere:
Thin eyebrows
Say goodbye to thick, layered brows; the trend is now back to thinner, more structured shapes, like in the '80s. Start by filling in the back of the brow and avoid a too-busty look at the beginning.
Blush to the cheeks
Blush is no longer just placed on the cheekbones; it now goes up towards the cheekbones for a “ lifting ” effect. Colors? From cherry pink to the brightest, anything is allowed.
Eyeshadow that attracts attention
One layer on your eyelid is enough and you've made a name for yourself.
Neon eyeshadow
Don't forget your lashes! Eyeshadow in colors like purple or electric blue is the secret weapon for a look that doesn't require much work, but has a lot of impact.
*Fiery* lipstick
Classic red lips are back. The formula? Creamy and absolutely irresistible.
