Back to 80s: The New Beauty Trend of 2025

By

Whenever I watch any music video, films or glossy magazines from the 80s, I keep wondering how could they carry on so much of everything- loud colours, voluminous hair and excess fabric and silhouettes!! Just a throwback to the screen icons of those times, like Kim Basinger from Hollywood and Rekha or Dimple Kapadia from Bollywood and their somewhat loud statement fashion and makeup are examples of the exact Beauty trends of that era. 



Although with time sleeker trends in beauty and makeup had ruled since the 90s, 2025 is yet again set to rediscover that 80s beauty trends both in fashion and makeup in a new way.

Back to 80s : New Fashion Trend of 2025

80s Beauty was all about maximalism, both in fashion and makeup. Oversized coats, extra large shirts and loose fitted trousers (baggy) were common pieces of clothing. Fabrics like silk and linen, along with tweed and corduroy were also in vogue. Similarly, the new fashion forecast of 2025 is also giving much importance to these fabric and style trends. Dresses with bold floral prints and embellishments are also coming back in style.


Bold colours, sequins and stone studded outfits with large statement earrings can be flaunted for a revival of the 80s in the new beauty trends. 


Statement pieces from Vaguera, Rabanne and Schiaperelle have all sported trends from the 80s, in their new designs. 

Here are some statement pieces that can be coordinated along with  the wardrobe to sport this New trend from back in the 80s.

Embellished Jacket

 Floral Silk Dress


Baggy Pants





Long Coat



Back to the 80s: New Makeup Trends of 2025

Voluminous hair, mostly permed had been an iconic style of the 80s. Whenever I think of that, the first name comes to my mind is that of Cher. This same trend is back again. Very bold lip, cheek and eyeshadow colours like purple and pink and deep burgundy were mostly flaunted by women of that era.


2025's New makeup trend too remain inspired heavily from the 80s. From berry lips to blush draping- the runway trends for makeup covered all the aspects of the 80s. 

Blush Draping

Bold Pinks and Mauves

                                                                     Voluminous Curls
                             

What is Blush Draping?

To create a contoured and lifted feature, a bold pink or mauve blush is applied generously along the cheekbones and temples. It also gives a luminous glow which makes the skin look polished.

So this is the most popular new trend of 2025, which is straight from the 80s.

    The 80s style was enigmatic and bold! Even our Indian models from back then were so well put together and had an individuality. Good to see these trends back.

    I followed Rekha Ji's style and loved her dress sense. This reback of the same style is enigmatic.

    It's always interesting to see how fashion trends repeat themselves. But oh my God - personally I just don't think I can carry off any of these!

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

That Same Forest, That Same Fire #BlogchatterBloghop

Marc was looking at the remnants of what used to be his vast villa once. He could see clouds of smoke forming in certain places. It was still hot out there, with fire fragments flowing all over. In front of the gate was a huge pile of broken items- some turned to ashes and some half-broken. He could see something shining through the pile. He approached near to find a partially broken framed photograph. He picked it up to find one half of a picture of a beautiful 25-year-old woman with wavy blond hair and dreamy hazel eyes- his Lucy.  Fire - devastating, damaging & destructive! It has taken away all he has lived with for the last 5 years. Every object, every article, and every piece had been restoring Lucy's touch, her memories, and the feeling of her presence that brought life to all things inanimate. The garden where she grew her roses, the pool where she used to swim like a swan, all gulped by the deadly hunger of the forest fire!!  Tears rolled down the 55-year-old's ag...

Every year, before the onset of Durga Puja, readers of Bengali literature receive some precious gifts in the form of the Sharadiya Pujabarshiki (Yearly Literary Magazine). For the past 70 years or so, we have seen some outstanding works from the Creme' of Bengali literature like Samaresh Basu, Sunil Ganguly, Shirshendu Mukherjee, Ashapurna Devi and many others being published in these magazines for the first time. This trend continues; this year, too, my husband gifted me a few such magazines before Durga Puja. Kishore Bharati is one of the magazines I got and today I picked a story called "Vaijayantimala"  from that. for November's #TBRChallenge .
