It's not cheating to use the tape. Trust me, I was wearing that makeup, ( I think I even had that dress and gloves lol) and I used tape back then too lol. I love you showing how dark liner makes your eye look bigger. Today's artists keep saying it closes in the eye, and my 55 year old eyes are going, "No it doesn't !🤣🤣". You look stunning!!💖💗

[@Soleils]

I wonder what 80's beauty could have been with the quality products we have today

[@akbflo]

Oh my word. You literally just broke my brain a little.

[@agingophelia9812]

I was a young adult in the 80s, wondering that same thing.

[@shadowsmoked88]

I think it'd be even more vibrant and fun! The kind of pigments we have now and the sparkles? So dreamy

[@maritzaj.a2803]

So cool 😎

[@brianaschino4903]

Love these videos!!! So funny to see how make up was when I was a small kid 👧

[@trinmae]

I love to these tutorials from old makeup books! I love your brand history videos too. I only got into makeup 4 years ago and I love learning the history of makeup. You do such a good job of bringing history to life

[@MonicaAdrianna]

OMG this came out so beautiful!! I love seeing these historical/book looks :)

[@janecranor1065]

Oh I am so here for this👍 89 was the year I started wearing makeup. Pretty sure there was blue eyeliner involved. 😂

[@moonchic0346]

I love this look!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!

[@justsiobhan1658]

Love how this look turned out, its high time I start to replicate some of these looks...you make it look so easy!

[@catherines2544]

I love this series I'm glad you have made it a series it's so interesting. This look is stunning. As you say it's relatively simple but really eye catching.

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you so much!!

[@Kimbyroseh]

I love these videos!

[@agingophelia9812]

Spot-on! I think I have pics of myself wearing a look in 1986 that's 98% this.

[@shadowsmoked88]

I love that!

[@destinyfrost8975]

Love this look also holy crap we're almost to the finish line on elle-mas im so proud and so happy and I've been enjoying every minute of it c: you've been working so hard and it's much appreciated 🌟 🎄 🎉 💕

[@shadowsmoked88]

I can't believe I made it this far! Thank you so much!

[@Kittichanlove]

I love this video idea. I’m always interested in previous makeup techniques

[@joannemccormick5730]

I appreciate all the work and time you’ve put into your Elle mas videos!! I’m glad you’ve had fun creating it, even with the extra stress you’ve handled. Beautiful look!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you so much!!

[@thol1187]

I love this look!!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you! I hope you're doing well, Tiff

[@SourEggz]

I am peeping the outfit. 👁🕳👁

[@Ivana_M]

I love this series, such a good idea! I bought Lisa Eldridge's book Face Paint on the history of makeup and I'm reading it right now. I can't put it down, it's fascinating and such an easy read.

[@shadowsmoked88]

It's so good!

[@bansheemuse4794]

I am so happy I discovered your channel. I do a blue shadow on the corners all the time, didn't know it was 80s. This look is so beautiful on you. You have such interesting content.

[@gaga4u22]

This look is FANTASTIC. You look SO glam! Thanks for great content 💚

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you so much!!

[@AislinSidhe]

Having been born in the 70s and grown up in the 80s, I think that top is SO period!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!

[@helenskibinski9742]

Too much blue eyeshadow was my look in the 80's when I first started using make up. Some days I looked like a crazed smurf.

[@shadowsmoked88]

OMG what a description!

[@helenskibinski9742]

@@shadowsmoked88 A crazed smurf with shimmery light pink lipstick. It was definitely a look.

[@justnana13-klj40]

😂😂😂 didn't we all! And the pink stripe of blush. And blue or purple mascara. Great memories! Lol

[@Undeadharpie]

I love this color combo on your eyes 😍

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you so much 😀

[@RetroModelSari]

This look turned out so pretty ❤️❤️❤️ Actually I could seemyself recreating it!

[@MidnightMajesty]

gorgeous!!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!!

[@MsAlyssaJM]

I’m glad you’ve been having fun with all of the videos. I like watching all of these looks, especially since I saw the preview of this on Instagram

[@catloublack]

A beautiful festive look, perfect for Longest Night!! 🤩

[@shadowsmoked88]

Yes! Thank you!

[@minooverdi5459]

Yours actually looks better. X

[@brianaschino4903]

Omg i love the completed look now that I was able to finish your video. The wig completes your look 👀

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@honeybellE24]

Good job on recreating the look! I truly appreciate the hard work you put into your videos. You’re so talented. I am now making sure to watch all your ads and all your videos to support you! I hope this little thing I do can make some sort of difference for you.

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!! That means so much to me

[@skylilly1]

Love this look! The sponges back in the 80's and 90's were very soft. A totally different texture. I used the cover girl wedges for years until they changed the formula.

[@sophiegolden]

This look makes your eyes fantastic!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!

[@MariaSCarr]

Elle, I have scalp psoriasis too. It can be very tricky to deal with. I remember that one dermatologist gave me the greasy stuff once,and I cried because it would not come out of my hair. My next dermatologist gave me clobetasol propianate foam, and I have been much more successful with that. It’s very expensive though (even with the large discount coupon the drugstore acquires for me), so I use it rarely and sparingly. However, even that is enough to keep it under control.

[@shadowsmoked88]

I will ask my doctor about that! Thank you!

[@DanielleSouthcott]

Wow, this is from the year I started studying makeup. For some reason this look reminds me of Bananarama, and I cannot figure out why.

[@shadowsmoked88]

I love that! I can definitely see the 80s girl group vibes

[@TINA-ke1cp]

Awe you are the first beauty youtuber that I have found that has psoriasis. I have it as well and it makes wearing makeup on my face so hard. I get bad flare ups on my face specifically between my brows, on my nose, and sometimes above my lips(during the winter especially). As well as my elbows and knees/legs and scalp. Basically my whole body lmao. But in the winter I tend to not wear makeup unless its an occasion and if I'm super dry and flakey on my face I don't wear a lot of foundation. But I'm happy you mentioned it because I love watching people apply makeup and talk about tips and tricks but a lot of normal skinned routines don't work for me because of my skin. I'm happy I discovered you. Can't wait to binge on your content and see what else you have in store :) Maybe a skin routine targeted for us who also have psoriasis. I'm always looking for new ways to help improve my skin. I get some creams from the dermatologist but I feel a lot of them are super greasy and sometimes break me out. But anyways, sorry about my skin rant LOL. Can't wait to see more from you. You are so adorable and calming to watch. :)

[@cloeshmoroz4512]

I've done the dark liner/shadow below the lower lash line a few times thanks to Hannah Louise Poston's "how to use black shadow" video, and this look made le like that technique even more ! The bit of gold liner is the perfectly added subtle detail. Chef's Kiss overall. Happy Holidays !

[@shadowsmoked88]

Happy Holidays!

[@rosiellagrace]

Iconic is iconic. ✨✨

[@JustSheilz]

Some how missed this one! I love this look!

[@sandrad7633]

I feel for you, my husband has severe full body psoriasis and I hate seeing him in pain when it gets bad 😥. Luckily it is summertime now so sun baking helps a lot .

[@justnana13-klj40]

I used concealer, under the eyes and to cover any bumps(some days, more than others). Used Merle Norman, which was FULL coverage- it felt like paint(skin dying to breathe not at all helping the acne situation). A stripe of CG Cheekers blush in pink or peach. Blackest black eyeliner, heated up with a lighter..yep. lol. Love this video! You are awesome!😊💛

[@shadowsmoked88]

I remember heating my liner up with my hairdryer, haha!

[@stephanieden4]

I didn’t think I would like watching this type of video, but it was very entertaining and you did a great job with it. Btw: there’s no contour on the model because that wasn’t a thing in 1989 (except for stage makeup.)

[@gabrielanoll9078]

This look is amazing 🔥

[@daisycate]

You look great! It looks hard to do, but it wasn’t!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you! 😊

[@daisycate]

@@shadowsmoked88 you are welcome!

[@chopperballs85]

Aw, man, this is probably my favourite look you've recreated so far!❤

[@shadowsmoked88]

Wow, thank you!
