Spring Summer 2017 celebrates the beauty look of the 80s, revisiting its volumes, the use of bold colors and the passion for everything that glitters. We explain the details of this trend

The 80s makeup and hair they return to be protagonists on the catwalk and conquer trends, inspired by an era made of luxury and excesses, attracted by color, metallic reflections, glossy finishes and a certain attitude to disguise.

The stylists have proposed on the Spring / Summer 2017 catwalks different interpretations of those years full of hedonism, individualism and a lot of creativity, in which the watchword was "exaggerate": let's see them in detail.

80s makeup

As for the make-up, this season the extra intense eye makeup, the metallic accents, the blush in shock colors applied up to the temples and the glossy lips in luminous shades.

On the eyes, burgundy or brown tints stand out, but also powders in bright colors applied with abstract shapes that go beyond the profile of the eyelids. All made current by the nude, light and transparent bases, but also by products with a velvety and melting finish.

THE touches of metal they affect eye make-up but also blushes and hyper-luminous lands, and have the function of creating points of light rather than loading the make-up.

The cheekbones and cheeks are highlighted by brushstrokes in bold shades, such as shocking pink or candy, but are applied according to the rules of sculpting, to play with shadows and volumes.

Finally, the lips are enhanced by glossy lipsticks ultra glossy finish, often in cherry red or baby pink. The big difference with the original versions is the non-sticky textures and long lasting formulas.

80s hair

Hair stylists drew heavily on that iconic decade: exaggerated volumes, ultra flat sleek look, severe side stripes but also dreadlocks inspired by club culture e side tails.

All extremely reinterpreted, updated and "lightened" by hyper natural and never "glued" textures as well as an obsessive attention to a soft, non-artificial result.
