Or don’t, it’s cool, whatever, I’ll still be in rapture, despite you having a heart of glass.

Had enough?  I’m sure you have, but the point is that the ’80’s are back, and what better way to welcome their return than to channel our favourite ’80’s star: Blondie!

I mean look at her - perfect brows, luminous skin, and those cheekbones!  I want it all.  I think the best I can do, though, it copy her makeup and that’s cool, because like I said, ’80’s makeup is back again.  Blondie’s known for her blonde hair but I don’t think that I can in good conscience tell you to bleach your hair so that it’s fried and straw-like.  But! You can get her look without having blonde hair.

We start with the reddish lipstick.  Why do I say reddish?  Because if you want this look to be en pointe, then make sure that you pick a colour that’s reddish-orange.  Try Sephora Lip Attitude in Capricious Red 14.  It’s got shimmer in it and has a glossy finish which helps update the look and makes the lipstick look not overly orange.

The eyes need lots of eyeshadow.  What colour, you ask?  Blondie wore a dark smoky grey, but instead of overdoing it, I would say to go for a silvery grey instead.  Try using Clinique Color Surge Eyeshadow Duo in Blackberry Frost.  Take the darkest colour and put it on all over the eyelid, leaving just half an inch to your eyebrow.  Then take the lighter colour and highlight the brow softly.  Take your favourite black liner, and line mostly the outer corner of the eyes.  Smudge the liner softly making sure that it’s thicker on the outer eye.  Put mascara on the top and bottom lashes, and you’re done!

The Blondie look is really simple, it’s just all about the execution.
