"At the peak of the &amp;#x27;80s glam movement, my go-to beauty look consisted of pigtails and lipstick dotted&amp;amp;#8212;yes, dotted&amp;amp;#8212;across my forehead, arms and stomach. (I was seven and had an inexplicable fondness for pretending that I had the Chickenpox. Maybe because the real spots would let you skip school? It&amp;#x27;s still unclear.) Anyhow, I completely missed the big hair, high cheekbones look that defined the decade, which is why I have to admit that I&amp;#x27;m a teensy bit psyched that the uber-dramatic look is back.At the Chloe show yesterday, makeup guru Charlotte Tilbury name-dropped Jerry Hall--&amp;#x27;80s model, style icon and Studio 54 regular--as one of her major inspirations and explained why the party-girl look felt right for right now. &amp;quot;We need to be uplifted, we need to get some color back in our life! We need to go out and have a good time and forget about all this recession stuff!&amp;quot; Amen to that sister. Jerry Hall in 1985 above, Chloe runway look Fall 2009 below. See the resemblance? For the cocktails-to-after-hours makeup look she and her MAC pro team whipped up for the show, Charlotte started by creating a flawless foundation. (To get the smooth, dewy finish, she added a bit of Vaseline to the concealer.) Next, she focused on contouring the face by placing a shimmering shadow in antique gold on the eyes, a dark, beige-y blush just below the cheekbones (suck in your cheeks and apply color just above the thinnest area to get the right placement) and finished off with layers of mascara on both the top and bottom lashes. The hair was equally glam--and FYI, to get this kind of mega hair, you&amp;#x27;ve got to have some serious time on your hands: To get these bouncy waves, Redken stylists blow-dried the hair, swept it into a deep side part, curled 2-inch sections on a large-barrel curling iron, pinned the curls on top of the head, then left them awhile before unpinning, brushing curls loose to get the hazy, I&amp;#x27;ve-been-up-all-night kind of look: Oh and PS, these lovely ladies had a bit of help in terms of hair length...the backstage scene was full of hair extensions packets: I think all that hard work was worth it, don&amp;#x27;t you? For a big night out, are you liking the mega-hair, big eyes and bold cheeks, or do you lean toward the natural makeup look? For tricks on taking your makeup from day to night, read these quick tips.
