Let’s create an iconic look, 80s Addicted to Love

Starting 2025 with a super long video inspired by the tv series Rivals (Disney+) and the Robert Palmer/ Addicted to Love video.
Ask me any questions in comments.

[@rozpopper]

I would love to see an Annie Lennox inspired look next

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

Oh gosh yes, and a Boy George inspired look would be awesome!

[@Teemie123]

I could hear "No More I Love Yous" start when I read this.

[@lb8141]

YES

[@Ty-ih9cu]

Yuuuus this would be fab

[@ericacruz8261]

I think we’re seeing it

[@lorzz4939]

Man the 80s were hot! This is giving 80s YSL runway supermodel 🖤❤️❤️‍🔥

[@keyfiender799]

She's Nadja Auermann!! 🤩

[@aliciaf1055]

"99% makeup, 1% face" I love that!

[@SJLamb-te3dt]

I really love the 80’s looks. So unaplogetically full on full coverage x1000%. They didn’t even bother trying to make it look natural. I would adore an 80’s series of videos. The looks might not be something I would wear but they are so FUN to try!

[@yael9455]

much has been said about the quality of makeup in your videos, to which I can’t really contribute more (my way of saying I’m joining the chorus of admirers here), however I have to point out that the big breath of fresh air that you are in the current influencer landscape is that you’re not trying to sell us anything… no sponsors, no “go buy this now,” no trying makeup for the sake of trying makeup, just LOOKS. The pure joy of makeup, without the consumerism. I have a pretty limited makeup collection yet every video you post leaves me feeling like I could give the look a go just for fun. Thank you ❤️

[@AM-wl6wr]

Sam is a genius! Standard 80’s make-up is incredibility hard to pull off, but to replicate this particular look perfectly, blows my mind.

[@Domorrigana]

It's funny, before I even read the title I saw the thumbnail and thought "looks like a Robert Palmer vid" you nailed it!

[@rlnstn9300]

Yup!! I wore this look in the eighties❤ Wore a long black halter dress with a wide red patent leather belt ❤

[@NewRiverSelkie]

You have the perfect face for this look! Cheekbones for miles and the pop of black liner with your gorgeous light green eyes. I remember that video coming out and you nailed the vibe❤

[@TheRayjane]

I know it’s eighties, but Sam your eyes look stunning …your bone structure of your face is perfection with the slicked back hair! I love it! You could wear that makeup at an event in 2025 ❤

[@Michellebellaa]

She has a very rare eye color, simply stunning. I have green eyes and my daughter has a very light blue/grey just so pretty! Your makeup is art!

[@Kaya0Anna]

I grew up watching pixiwoo in the first days of KZbin. I’ve recently got back into the watching you again and my god Sam you are as beautiful as ever. I always thought you looked like a model. Always serving face. ❤ I absolutely adored the video of Addicted to love when I was a kid, I became a makeup artist later In life haha the signs were there.

[@clarehartland150]

I laughed out loud at “Croydon facelift” - I suspect only Brits of a certain age will know what that is 😂

[@pamelaodeen1547]

Might as well face it, I'm addicted to this makeup!!! Happy New Year!!!

[@Charisse_KenionYT]

Final look is STUNNING

[@worktvk]

one of my all time faves pop music makeup looks done to perfection - the tawny blush is a revelation - love your tv film and music-video based stuff - please keep it coming! Happy new year xo

[@davidkitaura7081]

WOW! Mind-blown! Utter 80’s perfection!

[@SVYATUN]

This is flawless! Even the mirror grid behind you and the leather jacket with padded shoulders. Please tell us you are wearing Paloma Picasso perfume to top it all off ❤

[@rlnstn9300]

Or Ralph Lauren "Lauren"

[@Robin-no8cu]

Or Opium.

[@debrastewart-leigh8845]

This turned out perfectly! It brought me back to doing my makeup in the 80s, where one could try different bold looks, and that was okay because that was "the thing." I think your time invested in this look had 100% payoff

[@KrisWizz08]

Loooove watching your videos! So therapeutic! You can blab on for ages for all I care. 🤩

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Oh thank you!

[@brendawilkins9649]

Love this look and I grew up in the 80’s and loved Robert Palmer’s video and the look was so iconic!!!❤❤❤

[@itsthepens]

Categorically one of the most iconic makeup looks of the 80s, if not of all time, and one of my absolute favourites. As always you’ve taught me so much about the precision of the technique and the subtle nuances of the aesthetic, and executed it to absolute perfection. I suppose it doesn’t hurt that your glacial beauty and infuriatingly good bone structure are a rather good canvas to start from. Bravo, as usual.

[@gogodmore]

You rock this look incredibly! For a moment, I thought Helena Christensen was in the thumbnail. I could never pull this look off, but it was cool to watch you recreate it

[@sylvianblue]

Yes! That’s who she looks like!

[@KerriBayne]

I bolted to the comments to find my kindred spirits from the 80s🤣 You did this look honour and didn't make fun of it at all❤

[@desertsound6805]

What a pleasure to watch this video. You look soooo beautiful and I have a vivid remembrance of how I used to do my makeup in the 80's. It was not so easy 😂 no eye brushes at all, just those little sponges with your eyeshadow (single eyeshadow, no palettes), no prebase for the eyes, no highlighter, just ONE blush. No such many brands as today, I think all of my makeup was from Margaret Astor, Max Factor and Rimmel 😂 It did not matter, we were young and happy, but I'd wish to have a little makeup back to the future. Nobody would believe me!

[@samchapmanmakeup]

It’s wild that so many incredible looks came from the 80s really!

[@maureenormston8356]

Wow that's bang on the 80's.....stunning

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Thanks so much Maureen x

[@JudyTeel-yq9lx]

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the 80's look.

[@kategibb5245]

Fantastic makeup.Im 76 and remember in my,20s using a deep plummy shadow well below my lower lids.Looked good in the evening

[@christinemaybe]

So good. What I love as well is the level of detail you bring and the thought process behind it all not to mention the history.

[@raziabolaky794]

I love the makeup David Bowie had for his character as the Goblin King in Labyrinth-pure 80’s classic! Plus it’s one of my favourite films!

[@narrowgate528]

No fast-forwarding. No unnecessary, irritating music; to me, their presence is stressful; thank you for excluding them. First time watching. This was just the way I like makeup videos to be

[@IlovethesIlovethes]

Simply irresistible

[@mariahzalera2123]

That is the most expensive looking cat eye I have seen. A true makeup artist here

[@CrimsonRoseDancer]

Honestly, I would love it if this kind of extra dramatic makeup would come back for certain occasions. I love it and you look fabulous.

[@lydia56]

I have been following you since you started on youtube, and this moment is the one I was waiting for. YES!!!!

[@barbarasmith6229]

You look absolutely amazing!! Makes me wish the 80’s would come back, other than the 3 hrs it took to get ready! Wowza!

[@vdussaut9182]

So I totally clicked on this for the thumbnail and haven’t even watched more than 5 seconds, but just had to tell you-you have the most gorgeous face I’ve seen in ages! Such a unique, fresh, modern look, with the most stunning eyes-as a straight lady who admires my beautiful sisters, just wow!! The perfect canvas for cool makeup💄💖

[@RaquelFox]

You look gorgeous girl! I too love 80s makeup especially for nightclubs, nothing like it and lasts forever!❤

[@sylvianblue]

As an 80’s girl, this is fabulous and fierce! Wish you could see my 80’s look. Big hair etc! Blusher in the cheek hollows! I’ve always thought you had a natural 80’s supermodel bone structure look!

[@Vee3105]

You look so good. It's so interesting to hear about the make-up artists that created the looks to begin with. More videos like this would be fab. Happy New Year! x

[@santiagohardy2728]

Beautiful makeup look, application, and execution. I recall when the Addicted To Love music video first came out, the makeup look in it was so quintessential 1980s severe glam. If your eye color was green, you'd be a dead ringer for Amber Valletta.

[@tishw4576]

As an 80's girl this look takes me back in a fun way. Thank you!!!!

[@rayn8740]

I love it. It's fabulous. ❤

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

WOW. Oh Sam, you are so incredibly stunningly beautiful. Your eyes are mesmerising and those cheekbones are to die for, very supermodel-esk. Such gorgeous makeup. When I saw the thumbnail I instantly thought of the girls in the Robert Palmer Addicted to Love video. It really took me back to my teens. It was also so lovely to have longer form content from you. I could honestly watch you for hours. LOVED this tutorial so much! Btw, how was the party and the music? Did you have a good old boogie? How were everyone elses looks? I can imagine a few Cindy Lauper and Boy George looks too. Great decade.

[@lauraanderson9875]

I love it. The 80’s is so cool. Putting makeup on with no fear. I was a teen in the 80’s.

[@katiechristie2859]

Love that video, takes me back - what a great idea to do the make-up from it. Love how much you're enjoying yourself, too.

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching x

[@muumol]

Oooh! I remember being a kid when that video was out! Everyone kept going on about some was models and some was dancers. I thought they all looked gorgeous! I’d love to see Annie Lennox makeup! Her looks was always so gorgeous! I really like her Whiter Shade of Pale look, and of course the debut Eurythmics album cover.

[@annedonker4795]

wow you look exactly like those eighties models! I remember them so well, as a child of the seventies/eighties! And yes those ads OMD! they were the BOMBD! I remember so many of them still! the one with the bounty island and the one for Tia Maria the liqor!

[@DanielleSouthcott]

This has been My Look for almost 20 years, but I have to say - I've learned a lot of new tweaks from this video, so thanks!

[@therealdonnawagner]

I think "Addicted To Love" was the first time I was influenced by pop culture to replicate a look. I remember I was around 5 or 6 when I saw a bit of the video, thinking the ladies had such a cool look, and searching for the reddest lipstick I could find in my stackable kid lipsticks so I could try to do the look on myself. Then, I stood in front of the mirror making fashion faces. 😂 I think you more than did this one justice and it looks stunning on you. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year! 😊

[@MeduFiles]

Good morning SAM ... An 80´s Party is always so much fun, and I absolutely love the models look on the Robert Palmer videos. Your look stunning 🌟Grace Jones for Citroën was also such an iconic ad. Have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2025💜!!

[@samchapmanmakeup]

It sure was. I posted that one in my instagram stories a few weeks ago. What an ad!

[@jadec8960]

I love this SO much! If I still had VHS I would’ve recorded it! 😉😍💜

[@samchapmanmakeup]

🤣

[@leannlaplante3643]

You took me back to my late teens. Thank you for doing such a great job on the makeup. Hope you had a great night!

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Thank you! You too!

[@liamrobb]

Absolutely smashing Sam! Child of the 70s and 80s here, love the look. I hope the party was a fabulous time!

[@angiesanchez238]

So cool! You nailed the look to the T. I remember everyone wearing this look after the video came out. Oh! The good old days! Loved how everything turned out!♥️💯💄✌🏽

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Totally!

[@angiesanchez238]

@@samchapmanmakeup I think we were the luckiest generation to grow up in the 80's! There is definitely no comparison, period!💯♥️✌🏽

[@karinacandelario1713]

Wow❤ you look straight from a 80"s magazine, i love it🥰

[@julieparker6038]

Fabulous, took me right back to my clubbing days ❤

[@lisanott7]

I bloody loved the make up in the 80s and all of the fantastic TV ads they used to be ❤️ Loved what you do with Sam hope you had a lovely time xx

[@SirenSong_Pam_C]

I graduated high school when this video was out. Thanks for the journey back to the 80’s makeup! Your eyes are gorgeous! I love this series of videos when you visit movie looks!

[@irmavrijma9329]

Happy New Year, Sam. Gorgeous!!!!!! I LOVE the eighties make-up, especially the early eighties, the punk- and new romantics make-up. That video of you doing Siouxsie Sioux's make-up was the first video of you I watched. Could you do that one again, please? Eventhough I am 58 years old, I still wear that kind of make-up (luckily I do not look like 58 yet🤭), so I love to see videos of that era.

[@samchapmanmakeup]

I love that you wear that makeup. 🥰

[@murderdotexe]

I had no idea you were back on KZbin and I'm ecstatic to make the discovery that you are!!! I've watched you for over 10 years, one of my absolute FAVORITES! ❤

[@monicaines1704]

Fabulous make up. Thank you Sam, You look stunning 🤩

[@manuelbernet5796]

It is unbelievabely stunning. So gorgeous! Goeregeouse!!!!

[@stefaniesombaty8980]

One of my favorite movie make-up looks as a pre-teen was Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters. It is when she becomes possessed and her make-up is all copper, gold and shimmer. It is beautiful!

[@pamelalapierre6678]

You did a BRILLIANT job to go to your brilliant party !! Hope you enjoyed yourself & 2025 brings you peace , joy & good health . 😁❤

[@kyahmontour7764]

I'm living for this recreation look. I love, love, love 80s makeup so much. Thank you, Sam! ❤

[@rhondamullins6192]

This was great fun to watch. Gorgeous, sexy, 80's glam all the way! I was 19 in 1985 so this is extra special to me personally! Love you Sam ❤️. Best wishes for 2025! 🎉

[@gardendormouse6479]

I was 18. Several of Robert Palmer's videos had glamorous women in them - Addicted to Love, Simply Irresistible, and I didn't Mean to Turn You On. I think the last in that list was my fave. Those were the days.

[@ImVictoriaRose]

Love how you make looks from different decades. Please continue to do so, maybe a series on how makeup have evolved from the 1900´s up till today. i especially love the 40´s, 50´s, 60´s and 70´s ❤🧡

[@szaszbenczur]

Unbelievable! Truly, all your videos are fun to watch (you are intelligent funny, stunning and a great makeup artist). But this one is just incredible. I stopped watching and still smiling, this was such a fun and cool look on you. I hope you had a great night to go with it.

[@mechellegoetz747]

It's magic!! I kept repeating, "Trust the process"because black is a very slippery slope. You NAILED it 🎉👏👏👏. So I have to know...did you do the dance moves from the video?

[@samchapmanmakeup]

🤣 I think I might’ve. It’s all a bit of a blur 😇

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

I was wondering the same thing. Lol. It's just gotta be done!

[@Sunnylane02174]

I absolutely love this!!! I remember just how iconic that MV was when it came out bc of those ladies (and the bangin’ song!)! You pulled off this look perfectly!!!

[@MsLulabell33]

I LOVE this! It's taking me back to old school videos of you and Nic doing full on makeup tutorials with so much detail.

[@2622Valerie1]

Thank you doing this classic look! I would to the sky bleu/ dark bleu/green smokey, other classics like Biba, modern version of twiggy.. lip contouring ( like the 90.s supermodel ) etc.. i appriciate you share your skills! Happy newyear🎉

[@Gem_ma]

Glorious ❤love this channel and that fun, film/tv/music inspiration you pull for make up videos

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Thank you so much!!

[@lisaferdawg]

I did this for halloween one year, one of my favorite makeup looks ever! Great job!!

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Thanks so much 😊

I am almost 71 years, and what an awesome presentation ...thank you pretty Lady .....

Iconic 80s look, love it! Men's strong hold gel is great for eyebrows too fwiw

[@debbie6074]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Please never hesitate to do looks like these the 80's are such an underrated era to cover over here on youtube. Happy New Year!

[@SophieFenton-pe4nd]

Love watching you apply makeup… you make it look so easy… such artistry ❤

[@kanigid]

Oh, FINALLY!!! I have always hoped and dreamed you'd do this one for YEARS!!! 😍 Absolutely amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@PigeoneerToy]

Omg! Your makeup is AMAZING!!! 🤩 You look so beautiful. You remind me of the models in that 1989 Pepsi's tv ad with Robert Palmer "simply irresistible". I was a very young girl, but that makeup was so striking the image was burned into my memory 😍 I was amazed how they made them all look like clones lol I've always been mesmerized by colorful makeup. "No makeup makeup", natural and neutral.. boooooring! 🥱😴🤣🤣 I agree about the cake eyeliner. I wish there were good drugstore options as before.

[@Lw77596]

You look fantastic! I hope you had an electric guitar 🎸 as part of your costume 😊 That 80s advert, yes a classic! Happy New Year Sam 🎉

[@hermitageboy]

Relaxing to watch the tutorials! I grew up in the 80s so it's got good memories!

[@Teemie123]

My mom wore a drugstore cake liner and basically stopped wearing makeup when they discontinued it. She would never spend on cosmetics. It was subtle, but I even remember noticing the definition when she used it.

[@dianehuss]

Love it! You're Amazing⚡

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Thank you so much!!

[@yaminalucio5126]

You enhanced the makeup You made the makeup not the makeup you WOW that was impressive to see it happen beautiful

[@helle-piamorell6127]

I adore your videos! Besides the awe-inspiring makeup I appreciate your honesty and authenticity. And please, don’t stop the “blabbing” 😍

[@seandavis948]

Without the heavy makeup applied, you’re giving Carrie Anne Moss! The whole look is stunning!

[@shaz_66]

Loved every second of this, Sam! ❤ Took me back to my teen years!!

[@audreyso1201]

Ce maquillage est juste sublime, vous êtes très belle Sam, un modèle...Je vous souhaite une très belle année 2025.🤩🤩🤩

[@PDP-06]

Thanks for the Beauty Pie collection and everything that is Beauty Pie. I’m in love!!!!!!!❤ 😊

[@TheLadyAlchemyChannel]

So great for blue eyes!🤩😍 My eyes are ebony dark, I go much harder 😊

[@18mestar]

We love you Sam, you are still the best, More retro looks please.

[@garyweybright3227]

More of this style of tutorial would be great. There are fascinating makeup artists that rarely get recognized for their work! It has been one of the most iconic videos ever, and yes I taped it onto VHS😱😱😱. ClaudiaSJI

[@samchapmanmakeup]

Noted!

[@teresalehtonen8499]

So well done. I have loved this makeup since I saw the video on MTV. I need to have this as my daily office look! 🥰

[@joheslop6481]
