10 makeup trends of the 80s that will return in the fall of 2024: it will be the peak of fashion

Makeup trends are cyclical, just like fashion. Fall 2024 will be the era of the return of 80s trends. No, this is not a call to buy colored leggings, wear extravagant jackets with large shoulder pads, and make lush voluminous hairstyles.

The return of 80s trends is actually more about makeup. Experts say that fall will bring a real obsession with bold accents, bright blush, and colored eyeshadow.

Minimalist accents

The 80s in the modern sense are often turned into a colorful caricature, but subtle, polished makeup was as popular as bright eyeshadow. Soft, light pearlescent gloss on the lips is a trend for fall 2024. The perfect makeup is moisturized lips, slightly shimmering eyeshadow, and eyes emphasized with mascara.

Bright pink lipstick

Pink was a top color in the 80s. Among all the shades, you can choose the one that perfectly matches your look and style. Makeup artists have brought bright pink lips back into the spotlight.

New Romantics

Subcultures are not only about the goths and emos of the early 2000s. In the 80s, subcultures were in full bloom, and the New Romantics style was one of the most striking. Influenced by musicians such as David Bowie, Boy George, and Soft Cell, this aesthetic included bold, colorful makeup on the eyes, lips, and cheeks, combined with styles that were dramatic and a little rough.

Matte skin

The late '80s saw a shift from bright neons and deep pinks to more restrained looks like smoky eyes and matte skin. An even complexion created the perfect canvas for subtle details like matte lips. In 2024, Dua Lipa, Kaia Gerber, and Kendall Jenner proved that soft matte skin is always relevant, and you can forget about hard contouring and highlighter.

Vampy Lips

Gothic lips are back in trend. One of Grace John's trademarks was a dark, almost black pencil topped with shiny red lipstick. Bold lip looks are just as fashionable now, and the gothic trend is demonstrated by Rihanna and Julia Fox.

Natural eyebrows

Natural, fluffy eyebrows were the standard in the 80s, and a decade later, the era of threaded brows and over-plucking began. In the 2010s, a bold emphasis on eyebrows returned thanks to Cara Delevingne, and today, creating thick eyebrows is a standard in any makeup look. Although the choice of eyebrow shape depends on personal preference, fluffy, unplucked eyebrows in the style of Brooke Shields from the 80s are more popular than ever.

Eye shadow

You can't talk about 80s makeup without discussing colorful eyeshadow. It was a hallmark of the beauty trends of that era. Bright eyeshadows have made a big comeback, taking over the red carpet and street style. For a modern look, skip the liner and just apply blue, blue, green, or purple from the lash line all over the eyelid.

Bright eyeliner

In the 80s, bright colors were everywhere - blush, lipstick, eye shadow, and even eyeliner. Bold, bright eyeliner was another trend of that era. The extravagant beauty hasn't disappeared, but now it's created with a more sophisticated approach. Graphic bright eyeliner can be sophisticated.

Blush

The most defining trend in fall 2024 makeup will be blush. Today, there are many blush trends: boyfriend-style blush imitates a natural blush after a workout, sunset blush combines all the colors of the sunset - the list goes on and on. Not to mention the variety of innovative blush formulas that will be coming to the market, making the product more accessible and convenient than ever.

Blue eyes and red lips

The combination of bright blue eyeshadow and bold red lips was considered unacceptable in the 90s, but now it's back in trend. The old makeup rules suggested wearing only one bright color. The blue cornflower shade combined with red lipstick created an artistic, whimsical feel. This style was chosen by Cyndi Lauper and Whitney Houston. In 2024, Lily Collins chose coral lipstick and soft, sheer eyeshadow, which look stylish, interesting, and sophisticated at the same time.
