80s makeup

80s makeup

Makeup is a bright complementary and sometimes the leading detail of any style and time. Thirty years ago, topical paints for eyes and lips returned to today in such a way that every woman of fashion wants to repeat artistic images on the face of her predecessors of the last century.

Disco style and its features

Of course, the brightness in everything - this is a special feature of this style. Previously, it was manifested in pearly lipstick juicy pink and red hues, mother-of-pearl and ultramarine shades. Eyeliner was used sparingly, black mascara was preserved from the classic 60s makeup. The unusual trend of fashion at that time is thin, eyebrows plucked to the state of strings. The eyebrows were shaped in such a way as if their eyes were surprised.

We place accents

It must be remembered that such makeup is suitable only for an evening out, holidays, night clubs, but not for everyday work in the office. In the light of modern trends, one thing should be singled out: either the eyes or the lips. The beauty industry provides us with a lot of makeup products to create an image that fits a specific case. Be ready to buy some new make-up products for the sake of such a full image to be irresistible at the party that awaits you.

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

We select colors and means

The first thing to do in any make-up is a tonal basis, it is better that it be moisturizing. Since the make-up in the style of "disco" involves a large amount of cosmetics on the face, you need to use a concealer. It hides all the bumps and redness of the skin. The fashion for plucked little eyebrows is now gone, therefore, creating a make-up of the 80s, just tint your eyebrows with a natural color pencil.

Cheeks, too, are not ignored, but rather the cheekbones. We powder them with either crumbly blush or blush with a creamy texture. Both options are excellent to keep on the skin, not showered and smeared.. The usual colors of modern cosmetics are warm brown, the colors of summer tan, but this option is suitable for a disco of the eighties a little less than pink, even more red hues. If you want to stand out at the party, feel free to choose cool colors.

Lipsticks for lips are also used in all stripes:

  • Red
  • Coral.
  • Brown.
  • Violet.
  • With pearl luster.

Nail polish, which has not ceased to be relevant today, we buy to match our lipstick. Observe the color ratio does not necessarily, while the boom in brightness and incompatibility of colors was in full swing, so nail polishes in other juicy colors are welcome.

Step-by-Step Actions

Patience is your assistant in such a matter. If you want a truly bold, beautiful image, and not the face of a painted Russian doll, you should spend time on consistently applying cosmetics.

  • We put a tonal basis.
  • Draw small arrows along the contour of the upper cilia.
  • We draw a corner at the edge, which is closer to the edge, create a “cat's-eye” effect (if this kind of aerobatics is not yet available for you, just select the eyes with bright shadows).
  • Apply a shadow without clear borders (it is better to choose 2-3 shades) to the eyebrows. The secret that everyone knows, but few use it: make the brighter tone of the nose bridge, also under the eyebrow, and darker on the outside.
  • The lower eyelids are not left without shadows.Apply them along the eyelashes.
  • Carefully paint over eyelashes.
  • We paint lips with a lip color.

Makeup nuances

  • Putting shadows, do not forget to shade them, so that they do not look on the eyes like colored sculptures of paint.
  • You can use eggplant shade. It is unusual in its shade and will have to the way to your eyes, whatever color they are.
  • Black eyeliner on the inner eyelid should be used only in extreme cases (evening exit), as it is not appropriate in the representations of the 21st century.
  • Modern technology has provided for you and option with false eyelashes. If you do not have enough time and skills for a strong make-up eyelashes, use them. False eyelashes favorably emphasize the eyes, and the focus will be on them.

Bright representatives of the disco style

Madonna - one of the most popular singers in the world today. She has always been famous for her recklessness, bordering on insanity, sharp and cardinal change of images. At the time of the huge popularity of the disco style, she was not even 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 social masses began to take an example, among whom were many of her admirers.

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

It is worth noting that long fluffy hair or hairstyles with a fleece were very popular among Soviet women of that time. The conspicuous makeup could afford only a very brave woman, but more often than not, of course, a young girl. For the younger generation, makeup and dressing up is always the way to stand out from the crowd.
