It doesn't take a genius to realize the 80's are back in a big way. First we had the reintroduction of the legging. Then we had the return of the huge linebacker shoulders at Balmain and Balenciaga. The next step toward total 80's domination is the bold multi-color eye. Keep in mind, this is not a look for wallflowers...you must be able to wear this with complete confidence.
The look is typically characterized by ample amounts of smokey black eyeliner on the bottom and top lash lines and at least one preferably metallic eyeshadow shade. I say at least one because, if you are feeling really brazen, you can go ahead and pick two or even three (see video link below). The eyeliner can also be winged out beyond the eye in a sideways "V" shape. To achieve a more modern look, you can use metallics in neutral shades like bronze, copper, golds, browns, etc.
Look for all natural, hypo-allergenic, and synthetic free mineral eyeshadows at http://www.afterglowcosmetics.com/ in colors like Endless (deep purple shimmer), Storm (light silver shimmer), Escape (bright sapphire), Tempt (copper penny), Lavish (yellow gold iridescence), and Marvelous (ruby/plum iridescence).
