We’re Bringing Back 80s Beauty

Written by Molly Fitzpatrick Layout by Lucia Marino

Recently in the beauty industry, we’ve seen a very natural and soft look being heavily popularized. I’m over it. We need more color, more face, more fun. So where better to look than the 80s? Think Madonna’s bright red lip, Brooke Sheild’s bold brows, even Princess Diana’s exaggerated blush. Back in the day, makeup was used to dramatize facial features in a way that we don’t see anymore. The resurgence of 80s beauty has taken this influence and modernized it by focusing on one bold aspect of a look, like a bubblegum pink lip or a glittery eye. Personally, my favorite trend to revive this iconic period is bold-ass eyeliner. Whether it be a bright neon wing or a classic black liner enhanced by dragging it into the water line, eyeliner is the next big thing. Eyeliner isn’t the only way to channel your inner maximalism fantasy. The 80s gave us so many other iconic inspirations: blush all over the high points of your face, razor sharp contour, and dark lipliner topped with a juicy gloss. We are making the 80s contemporary by toning down the maximalism to give it a more current feel. This is our time to experiment.

Get crazy, get creative, it’s time for color.
