A retro revival
When it comes to current make-up trends, it doesn’t get much bolder than colourful 80s-inspired eyes. Almost any shade of eyeshadow in any finish can be used when creating these looks. Popular choices would be products with a metallic or shimmery finish for a look most reminiscent of the era. Neon colours are also an appropriate choice.
The make-up worn during the 80s wasn’t afraid to push boundaries, so there are no rules when applying these looks. Just pick colours that look good together and let your creativity run wild!

If you want a soft, feminine look, stick to eyeshadow and blend it outwards for a diffused finish. You can also use liquid liner to create geometric shapes and lines for a unique design.
The secret to pulling off such a dramatic look is to keep the rest of your make-up simple. Apart from some light contouring, keep your cheeks neutral, as well as your lips, which only need a slick of gloss.
Want to take your look back in time? Try crimping your hair – another TikTok trend – for a complete 80s transformation. Because, as the song says, girls just wanna have fun. And what better way to do that than by sporting a cheerful, nostalgic face beat?
