80s makeup

In the 80s, the disco style was especially popular. At the time, bright hues, including neons, and lots of glitter were especially welcome. Then there was no hesitation in combining bright eyeshadows, colored eyeliner, bold lipstick and luscious blush. If you wish, you can still do make-up in the style of the 80s today, but it is important to familiarize yourself with the advice of makeup artists before that, so that your face looks attractive, and not just colorful.

Nowadays, the flashy look that came from the 80s is definitely not suitable for everyday use. However, it can be safely done when it comes to masquerades, parties, hen parties, thematic meetings, an original photo session. Makeup in the style of the 80s necessarily includes bright accents on the eyes and lips.

In the USSR and in other countries at that time, a variety of bright colors was welcomed on the face. Of the shadows, preference was given to pink, purple, deep blue, plum and purple. Black pencil was used to outline the eyes, and colored or black mascara was used for eyelashes. Pearl lipstick was applied to the lips; purple, lilac and bright pink colors were considered especially fashionable.

As for the blush, there should have been a lot of them. As a rule, they were superimposed with unnatural bright spots to make the cheekbones as expressive as possible.

Women's makeup in the style of the 80s definitely cannot be called modest, rather bright and daring. The brighter the colors, the better. You can safely choose electric blue and canary yellow, shades of freshly cut grass, light green, pink neon or fuchsia.

Among the features of the style, it is also worth highlighting the even skin tone on the face, long arrows made in a double line or in the form of cat's eyes. Before applying lipstick, the lips are outlined along the contour with a darker pencil. Quite often, a combination of shadows of 3 colors is used at once. The eyebrows look straight and wide. This makeup is intended to become a way of self-expression and a method of standing out from the crowd.

To create makeup in the style of the 80s, a large number of different cosmetics are presented. To make it easier to choose, you should follow the recommendations of the professionals.

• Expressive eyeliner is essential. It is very convenient to use the Heavy Metal gel liner for this. The large glitter and color variety will make the eyes look very bright. Moreover, this option can look great both alone and in combination with other liners.

• Palettes should be chosen only bright and always with the number of colors at least 12 pieces. Today there are many palettes that, with their colors, can attract the attention of lovers of the style of the 80s.

• In the disco style, the eyebrows must also be highlighted, for which special mascaras, for example, Brow Unlimited, are especially well suited. Moreover, it is worth stopping the choice on bright colors, for example, pink, orange or yellow. Colored pigments will color the hairs on the eyebrows, and the gel will help fix their shape.

• On the lips, varnish will look most appropriate, for example, Vernis à Lèvres Vinyl Cream. This option is ideal if you want not only intense color, but also holographic overflows. You can complement the makeup with blush in the same color as the lipstick.

Going to a disco in the style of the 80s, it is advisable to do the appropriate makeup in a certain sequence. It is very important to remember that back in 1980, women's skin had to withstand enormous loads due to the large amount of applied cosmetics. Therefore, significant attention should be paid to thorough cleansing and procedures for preliminary preparation of the face for makeup.

• First, a moisturizer or a special make-up base is applied to the face.
• Further, with the help of concealer, it is necessary to hide all pimples, spots or unevenness on the skin.
• After that, you need to level the surface using a tonal base, picking it up to match the tone of the face.
• The dullness of the skin is achieved by applying loose powder with a wide brush or sponge.
• To highlight the eyebrows, use a pencil or shadows of natural colors, which will be in harmony with the hair color.
• The lips must first be outlined along the contour with a pencil, and then painted with lipstick of a bright color. Finally, you can add shine.
• The upper eyelid is highlighted with a wide arrow of any color. It is desirable that it extends beyond the outer edge. If the main arrow is made in black, then you can additionally draw a bright line along it.
• For the eyes, you need to choose several shades of shadows. The lightest shadows are applied to the inner corners of the eyes from the bridge of the nose and under the eyebrow. A bright color is applied to the movable eyelid, which will be a tone darker than the previous one. The brightest color should be applied to the outer edge of the eye and the line of the lower eyelid.
• If there are transitions from one color to another, then they should be shaded well.
• Several layers of mascara are applied to the eyelashes. You can also use a false eyelash option.
• To highlight the cheekbones and cheeks, use bright blush colors, which are best applied with a wide brush.

The style of the 80s in make-up always smacks of relaxedness, which borders on harshness, sometimes madness and constant changes. Today there are many original options for images from the past.

• For example, huge black arrows and bright yellow shadows make the eyes look very expressive. Luscious pink lips will be a great addition to this look.

• Daring blue in combination with light shadows looks defiant and interesting. Especially if you use it not only on the eyelids, but also on the lower eyelashes.

• Yellow with purple is just a win-win. More originality can be achieved by using bright feathers on the eyelashes.

• Also, the combination of these 2 colors will effectively complement the huge black eyelashes and blue shadows on the lower eyelid.

• Bright blue eyelashes, pink and yellow eyeshadows are great for dark-haired beauties, making them even more noticeable.

• The combination of light and dark shades of gray with bright yellow looks very attractive. Moreover, the latter can even go beyond the eyebrow line.
