Brilio.net - Makeup has now become an important part of women's daily lives, both for ordinary activities and formal events. From graduations, birthday parties, to weddings, makeup plays a big role in supporting appearance.
However, makeup trends change over time. What was once considered beautiful and trendy can now look dated or even quirky. Many people are curious about makeup styles from the past, especially the 80s bridal makeup that was known for being bold and dramatic.
This inspired a makeup artist (MUA) with the TikTok account @hajimunperias to recreate 80s bridal makeup. In the video she uploaded, the MUA shows the transformation of old-time bridal makeup that has strong characteristics in the eyes and eyebrows.

After seeing the photo example, this MUA immediately started to do her own makeup. She started her makeup on the eyebrows. To create even eyebrows, this MUA applied paper glue.
Then, slowly she shapes her eyebrows. Instead of using an eyebrow pencil, the MUA uses eyeliner to make her eyebrows look black and thick.

Next, this MUA began to polish her eyes. No less striking, this makeup uses a smokey eye style. The eyeshadow chosen is brown with a little red.

Finally, the MUA applied eyeliner on the upper and lower part of the eyes to make them look sharper and more defined. The prominent part of this makeup is of course the bright red lipstick color that is no less striking than the clothes worn by the MUA.

Differences Between 80s Bridal Makeup and Current TrendsEvery era has its own makeup characteristics that reflect the style and beauty standards of its time. 80s bridal makeup has a very different character compared to today's makeup trends. In that era, makeup emphasized more on bold colors with techniques that were still relatively simple.
One of the most striking aspects of bridal makeup during this era was bold eye makeup. Bright eyeshadows such as blue, green, or purple were often used, combined with thick black eyeliner to emphasize the shape of the eyes. Eyebrows were also made thick and arched with a darker color than the natural hair, creating a contrasting look.
Blush applied in the 80s tended to be bold, giving the effect of a flushed face with bright pink or peach colors. Contouring techniques were also not as smooth as they are today, so they often looked sharper and less in tune with skin tone. Likewise with the use of lipstick, which was more dominated by bright red or bright pink colors that gave a bold and dramatic impression.
Unlike today's trends that prioritize a flawless and natural look, 80s bridal makeup was bolder in highlighting colors and shapes. The blending techniques used at that time were also not as sophisticated as they are now, so the final makeup results often looked more textured and less smooth.
