Think Fame, think George Michael in Wham mode, think Madonna in Like a Virgin era, think big hair, big, loud makeup looks, and bright, fluorescent colour themes and you have….(insert drum roll)…..the ‘80s comeback!

Who would have thought that fluorescent leggings, oversized T’s with loud printed messages and neon makeup would ever see the light of day again? Well, it’s all back with a vengeance. To celebrate this return of an unforgettable era, we bring you our tips on creating some hot looks that will have you standing out as brightly as a neon light!

Here’s a tip, don’t go overboard on the fluoro or you’ll end up looking like some escapee from the home of makeup artistry failures! The ONLY way to make the most of fluoro is with restraint.

So, if you want to make your eyes stand out with a neon hue, then make it all about your eyes and keep the rest of your makeup minimal. Team fluoro eyes with a nude lipstick and just a slight tint to cheeks.

If you just have to wear that hot pink fluoro lippy then keep the eyes bare. The trick is to not look like a kaleidoscope of colour so keep the fluoro makeup focus to just one aspect of your look. Fluoro nails are a great way to update your look instantly, giving you instant ‘80s cred without having to overhaul your entire makeup collection.

Fluoro is definitely about fun so experiment and have fun!

Inuovi Cosmetics - Fluoro Yellow
To get in with the fluoro trends this season, you can’t go wrong with this eye shadow. Guaranteed to make you the life of the party! Not really a colour to be worn on its own but works well as a highlight under the brow line or on the inner corners.

Napoleon De'vine Goddess Lipstick – Calypso
If you haven’t heard girlies - lippies are back and it’s all about the ‘80s look and that means bright and colourful. This isn’t Gwen Stefani red, but more of pinky red. Great for accentuating those kissers!

BB Rating: 5/5

Gorgeous Cosmetics - Electric Dream
This is a way cool deep blue eye shadow that looks especially awesome if you have blue eyes. If you’re going for the bold ‘80s look then this is your new best friend, but, if you’re not so gutsy and out there with your make up then it still looks glam with just a little under your bottom lashes, and a little above your top lashes and eyelids! A little subtle funkiness.
