The 80s: big hair, bigger shoulder pads, amazing music and some of the best make up ever seen. So when Lionsgate asked me if I wanted to do a modern 80s make up look to celebrate the release of ‘Sing Street’ on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download I could not have been more excited.

If you haven’t seen ‘Sing Street’ I cannot recommend it highly enough. It’s a fantastic feel-good film set in Ireland in the 80s. It’s about a boy who starts a band to impress a girl – the classic move – and as his musical influences change (from Spandau Ballet, to The Cure, to Hall & Oates….) you can see the fashion choices and attitude of the band change as well. The soundtrack is flipping amazing and it has been on rotation on my Spotify ever since I watched the film! I haven’t felt this way about a film since I watched Pride (if you haven’t seen that, definitely watch that after you watch Sing Street): I was sat beaming at the end of the film and just wanted to lend it to everyone I’ve ever met!

You look good, I love the green, it compliments and brings out your blue eyes! x
Your make up looks fab – I was born in 1983 so dabbled with my very first pieces of make up in the late 80s – I remember my mum letting me wear yellow and pink eyeshadow for the school disco!
Love the look and the green eyes and lips actually look really good together x
sounds like a good film. Love the make up especially the pink lipstick, it really suits you
Obsessed with your lip colour – such a gorgeous shade X
I have wanted to see this movie for ages but just haven’t got around to it yet, you’ve jogged my memory into doing so! I also love the look you’ve created, it’s so wearable and looks great on you xx
I love this makeup look! So bright and vibrant! Perfect to fit in with Sing Street!
This look is perfect to fit in with Sing Street! I love how vibrant it is!
I am loving this look, I am a huge fan of green eyeshadow x
Wow this look is so good on you dont think I could pull it off. X
I’ve not seen Sing Street but I’m adding it to my “to watch” list now. I love the look you’ve created to go with it, I really like how you’ve made it modern (and less garish than the 80s look lol!)
My mummy couldn’t pull off that look! Love the pink lipstick though…great interpretation of an era xx
It looks fab!!! I love how you’ve blended the green eye shadow. And that lipstick is stunning!
I absolutely love that green eyeshadow on you, it is blended perfectly and suits you to a T. I haven’t seen the film yet but it is on my list!
The green eyes look pretty amazing I have to say and the lipstick is of course divine x
Love the colours – it looks so refreshing. I think this is where my mum’s inspiration comes from. She mostly uses a pink lipstick and green shadows 🙂
Great to see you rocking a green eye. I’m more into my nudes and glam natural tones than brights these days xxx
I love bright makeup and this looks amazing. 80s makeup is my favorite x
Such stunning shades, you look lovely! The lip shade is my fave
It looks great on you, I do like green eye shadow.
Love your tutorial, but you’ve made me feel REEEEEEALLY OLD! I actually wore eighties makeup IN the eighties – my ‘go-to’ look was light blue eye liner and electric blue mascara with crimped hair (of course).
I have never seen sing street before but it is one of the only 80’s look that I have seen done well. You have done a great job xxx
