Today we were allowed to dress up at work and though it’s not a very creative costume it is very simple and easy to do in a hurry–great for a last minute costume idea. I didn’t have to purchase anything, I just used stuff around my room.
To start with, we have the makeup. A staple of the 80s: BRIGHT COLORS! Don’t be afraid to really pack on the color. First I applied a my base Mac’s Paint Pot in “Painterly”. Then I used a bright blue eyeshadow, “Pool” by mark. Cosmetics over top of the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in “Cottage Cheese”. The NYX pencil really allowed the blue shadow to pop. Then I put a purple eyeshadow, “Picadilly” by mark. Cosmetics in the crease just for depth. On my lips was the NYC Lipstick in “Lilac Dream” with the mark. Lipgloss “Pink Crush” on top. For blush I used the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in “Pink Frosting”–the blush was the “icing on the cake” (pun intended). The bright pink blush really brought out the blue shadow and looked totally 80s. I added the little jewel on the side of my eye for a more WOW effect.
