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!!
B-Suits
As usual I'm veering towards the futuristic-sporty-slightly 80s feeling swimwear this year. So tired of flimsy string bikini things! A heavier, more structured piece I think is the way to go. Here are some
Scuba-esque
Billabong Sneaky vest
Urban Outfitters One-shoulder Bikini
Bustier Bikini! WHY aren't these everywhere??
A fondness for anything approaching flesh-tone
the 80s two-tone + plastic zip
Dear Marlene Bikini from Anthropologie
I don't care, I still think white suits are elegant---Just put tape over your nipples
Carioca Submarine one-piece
Shakuhachi one-piece & below bustier bikini
