'Go There' Wednesdays: '80s Eyes at Derek Lam

There's nothing new about fashion's fascination with all things '80s, but the makeup at Derek Lam's insanely cute Spring/Summer 2010 show took it to another level. The models hit the catwalk wearing bold, sherbet-striped eyeshadow that struck a perfect balance between tribal chic and "How Will I Know"-era Whitney. We realize that layering on teal, purple, and pink eyeshadow at the same time might be a bit much, but why dust your lids with a sheer wash of violet shadow for girls' night out? Or hit the club rocking bright teal liner on your bottom lid? It's all about remixing trends to work in your everyday life, so go there! Click here to check out more "Go There" Wednesday pieces.
