"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! Check out our gallery of the beauty looks at Derek Lam's Spring show, and the products you can use to get the look.

01
Catwalk Cutie

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!

02
Rainbow Brite

L’oreal HIP Bright Duos Shadow in Flashy ($7.99) comes with two deeply pigmented, statement making shades: creamy pearl and electric jade.

03
Think Pink

The shadows in Lancome Pink Irreverence Color Design Quad ($42) combine to make a uniquely cool-looking smoky eye. To do, blend the soft pink shade allover the lid, accent the top lashline with the deeper mauve, add the sparkly khol hue at the crease, and finally, apply the pearlescent shade along the browbone.

04
Work it Out

Lakshmi Menon works Derek Lam’s Spring 2010 runway wearing a floral minidress, a curly upsweep, and a riot of turquoise, plum, and magenta-striped eyeshadow. Somehow, it all works!

05
Flower Power

MAC for Lilly Pulitzer PearlMatte Eyeshadow ($19.50) is almost too pretty to use! But the pastel, rose, and pearly shades actually go on super-soft and sheer—lovely for Spring.

06
Purple Haze

NYX 3 Color Eyeshadow in Purple/Deep Purple/Prune ($5.99) comes with three of the prettiest purple shadows we’ve ever seen. At this price, we might have to buy two.

07
Electric Eyes

Senegalese model Mia Niara has become quite the runway star over the past couple of seasons. Here, she flaunts rainbow eyeshadow with sequined rompers and oversized, star earrings.

08
Shadow Star

Too Faced Liquif-Eye Eyeshadow Collection ($35) comes with twelve smoky shadows (including clear shimmer, silver, turquoise, bronze, rose, chartreuse, camel-yellow, khaki green, purple, blue/black charcoal, Kelley green, and black), plus Liquif-Eye, a special formula that transforms any eyeshadow into liquid liner. So genius.

09
Hot Trio

Stila Eyeshadow Trio in Afterhours ($20) comes with three stripes of super-sexy shadows, including turquoise, sparkly black, and ultra-violet.

10
Bright Star

We don’t know what’s sexier, the model’s creamy, cafe au lait complexion, her perfectly tousled faux-hawk or her candy-floss eyeshadow. Suffice it to say that Derek Lam knows how to picks some hot models! Hats off to the designer for choosing a variety of women of color to walk in his Spring/Summer 2010 show.
