The influence of 1980's Make-up and Fashion

Having looked at fashion through the years I can see that the 80's had some Grecian influence. This is clear from the big shoulder pads and the fact that many of the super models of the time were very athletic looking.

Due to this influence I have decided to take influence for the eighties for my make-up and hair. This includes several colours on the eyes and strong coloured blush or contour and lip. It has also given me inspiration for my hair. I thought I might use rollers or curlers to create soft waves but the eighties inspiration has made me want to crimp the hair.
It's official. Crimping is cool again. Well – if you do it a la Stella McCartney. Stylist supremo Eugene Souleiman gave the top layer of models' hair texture by crimping a few random sections and smoothing them into a low ponytail. Chucked out your crimper in 1999? Achieve by clamping skinny plaits tightly with your straighteners, going up and down a few times, then unravel them to reveal crimps.
