I think the biggest difference between 80s makeup & makeup today is Blush. Blush today is

supposed to look natural & that was NOT the point in the 80s. Then you were meant to look like you were wearing makeup. It sucks that that is frowned upon nowadays---because caking it on is FUN

Joan Jett

 Siouxsie Sioux

Doesn't really count as 80's since it wasn't trendy & she likely would've done something equally garish no matter what the era, but...

Kate Bush

Whatta lady! Shouldn't even be discussing makeup of all things w/ her, but here she is

Dolly Parton

Baby blue, pink, peach, white...she's a pastel party!

& If you can believe it...this IS Boy George

Yes, & I'm deliberately not including Cyndi Lauper!!
