Like New York and London too, Milan is in love with the eighties. And the obsession doesn't end with the clothes. Along with shoulder pads and blazers - power beauty is back. Strong, sexy statement looks are in - lips saturated in deep colour, eyes sculpted with spiky liner and shadow and cheeks contoured with a palette of bronze and chocolate. In more extreme manifestations make-up artists went wild with crazy colour - looks like springs barefaced chic is no more.
Jewel eyes Gemstones and precious metals inspired a host of different looks backstage this season. At Costume National CNC make-up artist Sally Branka injected elegance into a punky ‘club kid’ look with wet-look sapphire eyes, while at Prada an austere collection was given a lift with burnished ruby lids that twinkled with glitter. At Fendi soft silver was shimmered up to the brow bone and at Marni make-up artist Tom Pecheux created glossy gold eyes to mirror the jewellery in the collection. ‘The modern way to wear rich colour on your eyes is to keep the rest of the face neutral and perfectly polished’ Pecheux told us.

Bold LipsNothing says eighties decadence like red lips. At Moschino make-up artist Val Garland gave models crisp crimson mouths, while at Iceberg glossy red pouts added vibrancy to a nude face. At Dolce & Gabbana lips were painted in a deeper, blood-red hue to offset full brows and winged liner. If you’re not a scarlet woman then look to Alberta Ferretti where make-up artist Lucia Pieroni went for a bright pop of colour with Blondie-inspired fuchsia lips. And it seems the trick to getting this look right is lip liner. Yes, the product since banished from our make-up bags is back with a vengeance. ‘It’s essential for building depth of colour and creating a strong shape’ said Pieroni.
