Beauty Tip of the Week – Electric 80s

Can you feel the beat? I sure can!
To know me is to know my eternal love for all things 80s!

Last year we saw elements of the 80s back in the makeup scene, and after intense fashion weeks, it is clear that 80s inspired makeup is staying this year and is louder than ever.

Color is the essence here. We are going electric, and banging bright colors are making a statement.

My favorite feature to work is the cheek. Achieve your all out 80s cheek with an intense blush, in reds or bright pink, and pull it up the entire cheek bone, creating a V shape. Take risks with this and go bright with sharp lines.

Eyes are also major. Take your color from the eye lid all the way up to the brow bone. You can blend it all in and go from either a soft wash of color to a more intense solid color. Think fuchsia, electric blue,yellow...

Lips! Once again go bright. I like bright red with a tint of orange or pink. My favorite red for a hot retro look is Ruby Woo by MAC! My makeup kit is never complete without it.
Also fuchsias and bright purples look great too.

Last but not least, brows are to be kept well-groomed and brushed up. The thicker the better of course!

Play around with these elements and remember to always emphasize one or two features to keep your look balanced.
