80s makeup, not for the faint hearted!

[mmmakeup]

Hello! This is my first ever FOTD and I'm so excited

I had a really fun evening playing around with my makeup trying to recreate an 80s look for a party I've got coming up... I'm gonna team this face with a skin tight blue jumpsuit (thankyou Oxfam!), leg warmers and killer heels.

I'd really love some CC, I wanna nail this look! You ladies who were around in the 80s might be able to help me there

especially on blush placement, or ideas for 80s styled short hair?

Oh and apologies for my less than perfect blending, I tried using cheap sponge eyeshadow applicators instead of brushes because I heard it gives stronger colours, essential for the true 80s look!

I'll put up the photos of the whole shebang (outfit an all) when it actually gets to the party... its about a month away, I was just so keen to give the makeup a go! Wish I had lived in the 80s, would have been sooooo fun!

HOLY CRAP I think this is the best 80's look I've seen so far! Great job

 

[chiquilla_loca]

You ladies who were around in the 80s might be able to help me there

don't look at me for advice about the 80's...i wasn't around.

. hehe.
just kidding!
get out your tub of Dep gel and spike your hair out, think of singer Roxette.

Me likey!!! You did great. I like your hair how you did it, but if you want another 80's style for short hair, just get some gel and spike the heck out of it, either everywhere or you could shape it into a faux-hawk.... ah, 80's punk. *sigh*

 

[VDUB*BELLA]

Ahhhhh...the 80's..good times, like totally.

You took me right back there, it was THE BEST decade EVER!!!

You did great, the colors are perfect, and we didn't blend blend blend like they do now days...we liked the sharp contrast. Blush placement was great too, just one nice stripe right on the hollow of your cheekbone
