Question

i am being and 80's work out instructor for hollowenn what should i do for my make up?

Answer 1

Bright & glossy.

Pale frosty pink lipstick, or fuschia lip gloss. A slutty, glossy cherry red would also work.

Vibrant eye shadow colours, sometimes somewhat stripey -- blending colours wasn't so big. Frosted shadows are good.

Bright, noticeable blush. Slightly orange-y would be okay.

Coloured mascara -- navy was common, but almost every other colour showed up.

Do NOT forget your headband, please. (Terrycloth or twisted knit cotton around your forehead -- not a tasteful band holding your hair back.) Or your legwarmers.
