80s inspired makeup look

2024/7/1 Edited to

... Read moreWho doesn't love a good 80s throwback? I've been experimenting with classic 80s makeup looks, and it's so much fun to dive into that vibrant era of beauty. It's truly a celebration of bold self-expression, and there's so much to explore beyond just a simple 80s makeup application. My absolute favorite part of 80s eye makeup is the freedom to play with color. For this look, I went for a stunning blend of vibrant teal and light blue eyeshadow, creating that iconic color-blocked effect. Don't be afraid to bring the shadow up towards your brow bone, just like they did back then! And of course, a sharp winged eyeliner is non-negotiable for an authentic 80s makeup look. You can even add a touch of glitter, especially if you're going for that late 80s feel, perhaps a makeup tahun 1989 inspired sparkle! While I focused on blues and teals, 80s makeup green was equally popular, think emerald or lime for a truly daring statement. The key is fearless blending and embracing saturation. Beyond the eyes, 80s makeup looks were all about the face. Think strong, contoured cheeks with a generous sweep of blush – often extending up towards the temples. Bold brows were also key, whether naturally thick or expertly filled in. For lips, it varied: sometimes a shocking fuchsia, other times a chic nude lipstick to balance out dramatic eyes, just like I chose for my look. The key is balance or intentional imbalance! What makes an authentic 80s makeup look? It's the confidence to embrace color, volume, and a bit of playful drama. It's not just about copying, but about channeling the spirit of the era. And these 80s makeup trends truly transcended. Whether you're looking for 80s makeup black women or 80s makeup black girl inspiration, the core principles of bold eyes, strong cheeks, and expressive lips are universally adaptable and stunning. The era was about individuality, making these looks fantastic for everyone to explore and personalize. To truly complete the aesthetic, don't forget the accessories! I love how a pair of star-shaped earrings, like the ones often seen from that era, can instantly elevate the whole retro vibe and add that extra touch of 80s beauty glam. It’s all in the details! When recreating an 80s makeup look, don't be afraid to experiment. Play with bright colors, blend them fearlessly, and remember that more was often more! The goal is to have fun and express your inner pop star or rock goddess. It's such a fun way to experiment with different 80s beauty trends and create your own unique spin. So go ahead, grab your brightest eyeshadows and let your creativity shine!

My take on ONE of the looks I’ve seen. It’s crazy how we go so hard on blush, bronzer and contour. (My favorite things to do to my face) and in the 90’s they don’t do much to the face from what I can see at all. I wanna do the frosty eye look from the 90’s next! #90smakeup #90smodelmakeup #
