THE ’8OS FASHION ICON
LUXE LOOK: “More is more” was the mantra at Gucci, where the Tina Chow–inspired power women flashed no less than six shades on their kaleidoscopic eyes, from wallflower brown to wild-child fuchsia, plus coral and gold. Why stop there? Cheeks were sculpted with copper red and lips were painted cherry.
SWEET TRICKS: “This is our sexy smoky eye, but this time, we used red eyeshadow,” explains McGrath. To make the disco-worthy trend wearable in reality, save the rainbows for the runways. Instead, splurge selectively on just a couple of bright and bold shades—the more pigmented the formula, the less you’ll need to use. Then, she suggests creating a traditional smoky eye with loads of black eyeliner and mascara, and sweep just an accent of strong colour (such as hot pink) on your eyelids. Blend the vibrant eyeshadow all the way out to your temples, then brush the same fuchsia shadow onto your cheekbones for the finishing touch. FLARE picks: Nars Eyeshadow Duo in Caravaggio, $38.
