13 '80s Beauty Trends That Are Totally Back Again

The '70s were all about pastels and the '90s featured tons of blue, but in the 1980s women wore lots of bold purples and pinks. By far the most flattering eyeshadow trend, it contrasts with all eye colors to make your irises stand out.

Today's version is a little more blended and iridescent. Even better: The purple smokey eye is perfect for a sexy nighttime look.

Stylish short cuts — especially bleached blonde — were worn by women and men alike, including Annie Lennox, Madonna, and Billy Idol.

Following a decade of over-plucked, '80s brows were left untouched — celebrated for their naturally bushy beauty.

Gone are the pencil-thin brows of the 1990s and the sharply angled shapes of the 2000s. These days, eyebrows are considered prettiest when barely touched. A little shaping and filling is fine when keeping with their natural shape and thickness.

Leave it up to Cher to set the bar high (and a little wild) when it comes to hair trends. This bold look combined a short, spiky cut with a funky blonde-and-black dye job.

And they're still going strong. Now the ultimate lazy day hairstyle, the topknot made a comeback due to its simplicity and easygoing elegance.

Thanks to teens on the '70s and '80s punk scene, this anti-establishment hairstyle was all the rage. But they didn't just stop at shaved sides and spikey tips, they also dyed it in bright, wild shades.

Soft, conditioned, and with far less product, the mohawk of 2015 — seen here on Kelly Osbourne — is far more pretty than its predecessor.

Always a trailblazer, singer Cyndi Lauper wore bright, unconventional shades of lipstick, bringing her creative style to mainstream audiences.

Who would have imagined this wild look would make such a huge return? High-fashion runways, including Ann Yee's for the Fall/Winter 2014 season (left), which featured blue lips, leading to women everywhere scrambling to find the perfect shades of blue, purple, and even green.

Platinum blonde hair was huge due to trendsetters like Madonna, and she didn't care if it looked natural. Dark brows define the eyes, so keeping them this shade only enhances the overall look.

Though the shift is slightly more subtle than in the '80s, the dark brows, light hair look is back and better than ever as women embrace their natural eyebrow shades while still having fun with their hair color. Simply groom your brows if you want more polish.

Bright eyeshadow wasn't just popular on the punk scene. Orange lips, cheeks, and eyes were a staple of Joan Collins' glamorous Dynasty look.

Rather than the ultra-bright shade of the '80s, the more modern version of orange shadow veers towards a metallic copper. Bonus: It's an unexpectedly flattering shade on all eye colors.

The '90s touted some long-haired looks for men, but the ponytail didn't fully return until this decade. Now, stars including Brad Pitt, Jared Leto, and Chris Hemsworth have all rocked an elastic around their hair.
