80’s style make up is back… Makeup of the 80’s era can be summed up using the B’s: Big, Bold, Bright. Colour trends were bold. Blue, green, mauve, fuchsia, and orange were among the bold colour palette of the 1980s. This time, however, things are different. Gone is the ageing, drying, chalky look that was the result of caking forehead to chin in pressed powder. But keep the bold eyes and lips

How to blush… Make sure you use a rosy shade of blush - go for one that mimics the colour you get in your skin when you exercise. This is applied to what’s known as the apple of the cheek. To locate this, go straight down from the pupil of the eye and stop at the highest point of the cheeks - don’t smile when doing this, as is often advised, because this will distort the final effect. And don’t colour too close to the nose you’ll look feverish or sunburned. If you already have a lot of redness in your skin first you need to apply foundation and concealer to cancel this out before putting the colour back in with blush. Then use a neutral blush or skip the blush altogether. Blush is ideal for women who have a fairly even skintone and need a lift. If you’re making a colour statement on your lips or eyes go for a more neutral shade of blush, and leave the application until the end - it shouldn’t fight for attention with the eyes or lips. Always finish off blush with a little highlighter dabbed along the upper cheekbones (and then onto the browbones and inner corners of eyes). It creates the illusion of great bone structure.
