Makeup 80s

Makeup is a bright complementary, and sometimes the leading detail of any style and time. Actual paints for eyes and lips thirty years ago returned to the present day so that every fashionista wants to repeat the artistic images on the face of her predecessors of the last century.

Of course, brightness in everything is a special feature of this style. Previously, it appeared in mother-of-pearl lipstick in juicy pink and red shades, mother-of-pearl and ultramarine shades. Eyeliner was used sparingly, black mascara was preserved from the classic makeup of the 60s. An unusual fashion trend at that time was thin, plucked to the state of a thread, eyebrows. Eyebrows were given such a shape, as if the eyes were surprised at something.

It must be remembered that such makeup is suitable only for an evening out, holidays, nightclubs, but not for everyday work in the office. In the light of modern trends, one thing should be distinguished: either eyes or lips. The beauty industry provides us with a plethora of decorative cosmetics to create a look that suits any particular occasion. Get ready to splurge on some new make-up for that full-on look, so you'll be irresistible for the party that's waiting for you.

The eyes, as the main accent, stood out in those years, and even now, very brightly. You are allowed to use all the colors and shades of the rainbow to your taste. As a rule, the entire upper region of the eyelid is painted over with color, and in order to enhance the color effect, a so-called wet applicator is also used.

The first thing to do in any make-up is a foundation, it is better that it is moisturizing. Since disco-style makeup involves a large amount of cosmetics on the face, it is imperative to use foundation. It hides all the bumps and redness of the skin. Small plucked brows are now out of fashion, so when creating an 80s make-up, just tint your eyebrows a little with a natural color pencil.

Cheeks are also not left without attention, or rather the cheekbones. We powder them with either loose blush or blush with a creamy texture. Both options adhere perfectly to the skin, without crumbling or smearing.. The usual colors of a modern makeup bag are warm browns, the colors of a summer tan, but this option is a little less suitable for an eighties disco than pink, even redder shades. If you want to stand out at a party, feel free to choose cool colors.

Lipsticks are also used in all stripes:

• Red.
• Coral.
• Brown.
• Purple.
• With a pearly sheen.

We buy nail polish, which has not ceased to be relevant even today, to match our lipstick. It is not at all necessary to observe the color ratio, while the boom in brightness and incompatibility of colors was in full swing, so nail polishes of other rich colors are welcome.

Patience is your assistant in this matter.If you want a really bold beautiful look, and not the face of a made-up doll, it's worth taking the time to apply makeup consistently.

• Apply foundation.
• We draw small arrows along the contour of the upper cilia.
• We draw a corner at the edge, which is closer to the edge, creating the effect of a "cat's eye" (if this kind of aerobatics is not yet available to you, just highlight the eyes with bright shadows).
• We apply shadows without clear boundaries (it is better to choose 2-3 shades) to the very eyebrows. A secret that everyone knows, but few use it: make the tone lighter at the bridge of the nose, also under the eyebrow, and darker on the outside.
• Do not leave the lower eyelids without shadows. We apply them along the course of the eyelashes.
• Carefully paint over the eyelashes.
• We paint lips with lipstick of a juicy shade.

In the following video, an example of makeup in the style of the 80s, performed by the leading Dior makeup artist in Russia, Vyacheslav Sasin.

• When applying shadows, do not forget to blend them so that they do not look like colored paint moldings.
• You can use shades of eggplant color. It is unusual in its shade and will come in handy to your eyes, no matter what color they are.
• Use black eyeliner on the inner eyelid only in extreme cases (evening out), as it is not appropriate in the views of the 21st century.
• Modern technologies have provided for you an option with false eyelashes. If there is not enough time and skills for a strong make-up of eyelashes, use them. False eyelashes will favorably emphasize the eyes, and the emphasis will be on them.

Madonna - one of the most popular singers in the world today. She has always been famous for her recklessness, bordering on insanity, a sharp and drastic change of images.At the time of the huge popularity of the disco style, she was not yet thirty, so we boldly call her in the list of followers of this style. Perhaps it was she who became the one from whom the public masses began to take an example, among which there were many of her fans.

In Russia, the bright star of the 80s was, of course, Alla Borisovna Pugacheva. Of course, the style of the Russian prima donna literally changes every decade, but at the dawn of her career, the style was precisely “disco”. At that time, it was difficult for our country to receive information about fashion trends from abroad. Young women of fashion tried to follow every stroke in the image of a popular singer. Her distinctive feature to this day is a lush curly hairstyle as a news of that time. But in the eighties, extravagant outfits and catchy makeup were added to the hairstyle.

It is worth noting that long puffy hair or bouffant hairstyles were very popular among Soviet women of that time. Only a very brave woman could afford conspicuous makeup, but most often, of course, a young girl. For the younger generation, make-up and clothing style is always a way to stand out from the crowd.
