Take inspiration from the eighties to recreate the hottest beauty looks of the season!

This season we're rocking the eighties! Were loving everything from bold shoulder pads and acid wash jeans at Balmain, to the punky eye make up, crimped hair, heavy painted faces, seen at the spring/summer catwalk shows. Luckily this look is sticking around for next season too, as the models on the Zac Posen and Marc Jacobs Autumn/Winter catwalks, were rocking the look too! Were not suggesting that you channel Debbie Harry to recreate your eighties face, but a splash of colour will update your beauty look in a flash. Here are our top four buys, thatll guarantee a bang on trend face. We suggest you focus on one area at a time- lips, eyes or cheeks, to avoid overload! Fuchsia Lips- Loud, sexy and super flattering, fuchsia is one of the hottest colours to ass to your pout this summer. The best thing about this trend is that you dont have to be a make-up pro to apply. Snap up MAC'sFull FuchsiaLippy! Blue Eye shadow- Yes it may bring back memories of your mums make-up bag back in the eighties, but blue eye shadow is making a comeback. Just sweep Macs eye shadow over your lids and youre good to go. Try the Turquoise Ensoleilshade from Boujois! Crimped hair- we dont suggest that you crimp your whole head, as it can be OTT. Instead crimp sections around your face or in intervals for a fun and flirty hairstyle. Buy a crimpernow! Pink Blusher- the eighties was all about exaggerating your cheekbones and eyes. Although we loved the heavily made up look, we advise you to you to go easy on your pink blush as too much is over kill. Check out Benefit's CorolistaPowder.
