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 ❤
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.
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❤
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
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
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.
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 ❤🧡
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.
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.
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!
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🎉
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💜!!
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
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!♥️💯💄✌🏽
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?
You having lots of fun with a look is always watchable. Really took me back to 80s photoshoots and yep our makeup artists were amazing! Lots of experimentation with much more limited product! Used to have a fantastic YSL block kohl and guerlain liquid liner. When Shiseido came out with pre makeup cream it was a game changer for texture (although original - and amazing spack filler- formula disappeared pretty quickly and was replaced with something softer and less effective).
I was just absolutely mesmerized watching this, just stunning. Perfection in every detail 💋 I hope you had a blast at the party and a very happy new year to you, Sam 🥂
omg you look divine! I love it when you share some of the 80s makeup history. Hoping to see more of you this new year! Thank you for being an inspo SAM!
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!
I loved that era of music and Robert Palmer. This is a great look, but I remember my head actually hurting with all that hair gel! Beautiful look! Hope you had a lovely New Year!
Happy new year Sam! ❤🎉and yes this is one of the looks I strive for over the years, toned down or slightly altered to go with every different occasion. It's THE Classic!The Song also is a big fave....😊
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!
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! 😊
Love love this look. I, too, remember this video and look and how impactful it was. A little black dress never looked so good. 1 question. I would love to know what you bring with you for touch-ups. Although I love purses, I hate to carry them or to much at parties. Wondering if you always carry lip stick..nothing..everything with you😊 Your channel is the best so enjoy your work. Cheers 🎉
Not much. The layering and powdering means that this makeup isn’t moving at all. I took a tiny mirror. The Chanel lip product and a concealer that I didn’t need to use at all.
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!!!
I watch Scrooged every Christmas and when you were talking about the "Drag" look, I immediately thought of Karen Allen with the exaggerated 80s makeup in Frank's future dream scene of Claire. It took plenty to make Allen look garish and she has the no makeup look for the whole film so I think it makes it more ghoulish but I can get it took a skilled make-up artist to just take it over the edge to contrast her character.
This was absolutely incredible, I loved it and it really suited you. I don’t have any real skill when it comes to make up application, so won’t be replicating this for any fancy dress parties any time soon, but I admire the skill and artistry needed to make it happen. Thank you for sharing 😊
The balance of drama is so tight, it always stresses me out bc I don't want to look too draggy haha I'd love a video of you in some Way Bandy/Scavullo portrait glam!! It's another style of makeup that I feel like I have to micromanage every detail so it doesn't look insane on me lol
Paula Hamilton was the model in the VW advert. I remember it so well. I love the makeup look. Is it your face, your talent, or both that makes everything look good on you?
Yesss love this look❤ I would wear this type of makeup a few years back and I would get called the girls from his music video lol so fun ❤ they were gorgeous!
blatantly tried to recreate this look in school, not surprisingly one of the teachers said "you've been putting makeup on" but they got used to it, i verged on fancy dress most days 🙂
Happy new year - fantastic look! Really interesting to remember having fewer products that were harder to use. I used to hold my breath to get my eyeliner on before crimping my hair! So glamorous Sam, legend! Hope you had a great night. Thanks for bringing the relaxed glamour this last year. Always inspiring 🌟🙏🌟
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.
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.
I would love to see an Annie Lennox inspired look next
Oh gosh yes, and a Boy George inspired look would be awesome!
I could hear "No More I Love Yous" start when I read this.
Love this look and I grew up in the 80’s and loved Robert Palmer’s video and the look was so iconic!!!❤❤❤
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 ❤
"99% makeup, 1% face" I love that!
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.
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.

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❤
Man the 80s were hot! This is giving 80s YSL runway supermodel 🖤❤️❤️🔥
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
Oh, FINALLY!!! I have always hoped and dreamed you'd do this one for YEARS!!! 😍 Absolutely amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩
Loooove watching your videos! So therapeutic! You can blab on for ages for all I care. 🤩
Oh thank you!
Final look is STUNNING
Absolutely gorgeous. I love the 80's look.
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to this makeup!!! Happy New Year!!!
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.
Wow that's bang on the 80's.....stunning
Thanks so much Maureen x
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
Fantastic makeup.Im 76 and remember in my,20s using a deep plummy shadow well below my lower lids.Looked good in the evening
You look absolutely amazing!! Makes me wish the 80’s would come back, other than the 3 hrs it took to get ready! Wowza!
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?

I love that you wear that makeup. 🥰
Absolutely smashing Sam! Child of the 70s and 80s here, love the look. I hope the party was a fabulous time!
I'm living for this recreation look. I love, love, love 80s makeup so much. Thank you, Sam! ❤
I am almost 71 years, and what an awesome presentation ...thank you pretty Lady .....
You are so welcome!
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.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching x
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 ❤🧡
Fabulous, took me right back to my clubbing days ❤
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.
Glorious ❤love this channel and that fun, film/tv/music inspiration you pull for make up videos
Thank you so much!!
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!
Thank you! You too!

Loved every second of this, Sam! ❤ Took me back to my teen years!!
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💜!!
It sure was. I posted that one in my instagram stories a few weeks ago. What an ad!
Makeup looks amazing!!!!
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
Noted!
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
Love love love these throw back make ups and in depth history behind them!
Iconic 80s look, love it! Men's strong hold gel is great for eyebrows too fwiw
This was so fun! Great video as always!
Absolutely Phenomenal 🎉
Spot on as always! Thank you and Happy New Year.
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!♥️💯💄✌🏽
Totally!
Love it! You're Amazing⚡
Thank you so much!!
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?
🤣 I think I might’ve. It’s all a bit of a blur 😇
I was wondering the same thing. Lol. It's just gotta be done!
Ce maquillage est juste sublime, vous êtes très belle Sam, un modèle...Je vous souhaite une très belle année 2025.🤩🤩🤩
I adore the late 70's & 80's makeup look. To bad we can't add a picture! You make it look effortless. Un maquillage fabuleux
You having lots of fun with a look is always watchable. Really took me back to 80s photoshoots and yep our makeup artists were amazing! Lots of experimentation with much more limited product! Used to have a fantastic YSL block kohl and guerlain liquid liner. When Shiseido came out with pre makeup cream it was a game changer for texture (although original - and amazing spack filler- formula disappeared pretty quickly and was replaced with something softer and less effective).
Ooh la la! Simply fabulous!
I was just absolutely mesmerized watching this, just stunning. Perfection in every detail 💋 I hope you had a blast at the party and a very happy new year to you, Sam 🥂
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the Beauty Pie collection and everything that is Beauty Pie. I’m in love!!!!!!!❤ 😊
I did this for halloween one year, one of my favorite makeup looks ever! Great job!!

Dirty Palmer would have been smitten!
You look fabulous 🤩😘
Oh thank you! 🤣
Iconic indeed and you nailed it! You been doing some of your best work lately. 👍🏼

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!
Glorious! That Addicted To Love video is iconic, and you totally nailed the look.. ❤❤❤
Yes! Finally an old school Sam look!
🤣
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!
I loved that era of music and Robert Palmer. This is a great look, but I remember my head actually hurting with all that hair gel! Beautiful look! Hope you had a lovely New Year!
Absolutely love this. Am off to persuade someone to have an 80s party!
Happy new year Sam! ❤🎉and yes this is one of the looks I strive for over the years, toned down or slightly altered to go with every different occasion. It's THE Classic!The Song also is a big fave....😊
The second that song comes on, it starts the party
Absolutely spot on Sam ...remember the video well..❤️
Love the 80s makeup.coming out of Punk was the ideal transition for me❤..
You look stunning xx
I love the longer video 💜
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.

Stunning as always. ❤

So fun to watch - I love it! Beautiful!!
I love this SO much! If I still had VHS I would’ve recorded it! 😉😍💜
🤣
I did a makeup look like this in the early 2000s. So fun!
Stunning look
Thank you so much 😀
Wow! You look absolutely gorgeous!! Your eyes are so beautiful...Thanks for doing such an interesting depth tutorial...Hope the party is a blast!🎉❤
I was all about this loo in the 80s. I love it ❤🎉😊🎉
What an absolutely amazingly talented makeup artist you are Sam! Stunning as always. Watched you for years!! Xxxx
Thank you so much Stephanie 🤗 xxx
The balance of drama is so tight, it always stresses me out bc I don't want to look too draggy haha
I'd love a video of you in some Way Bandy/Scavullo portrait glam!! It's another style of makeup that I feel like I have to micromanage every detail so it doesn't look insane on me lol
Great idea!!
Amazing 🤩❤ And 2,5 hours to do this makeup and hair! Thank you! I really enjoy it!😊 Bright eyes always are popping up with the dark eye makeup 👌💚🧡
Absolutely loved this. Hope you had a fab party x
Love Love Love Really enjoy watching all your videos, and you totally rocked the Addicted vibe 🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Looks fab ! Hope you had fun . Wishing you & your loved ones a happy, healthy New Year.
Paula Hamilton was the model in the VW advert. I remember it so well. I love the makeup look. Is it your face, your talent, or both that makes everything look good on you?
Yes! Paula Hamilton
That's right. Paula Hamilton. I knew it was a model/actress. It was driving me crazy. Thank you x
Simply Irresistible ❤
Yesss love this look❤
I would wear this type of makeup a few years back and I would get called the girls from his music video lol so fun ❤ they were gorgeous!
blatantly tried to recreate this look in school, not surprisingly one of the teachers said "you've been putting makeup on" but they got used to it, i verged on fancy dress most days 🙂
🤣 that’s amazing!
Lol. Love this!
I laughed out loud at “Croydon facelift” - I suspect only Brits of a certain age will know what that is 😂
Happy new year - fantastic look! Really interesting to remember having fewer products that were harder to use. I used to hold my breath to get my eyeliner on before crimping my hair! So glamorous Sam, legend! Hope you had a great night. Thanks for bringing the relaxed glamour this last year. Always inspiring 🌟🙏🌟
I have been using the Laura Mercier cake eyeliner too - great for both a harder and softer line x
Thank you! You too!
STUNNING!! Looks just like 1 of those gals in the video!
So great for blue eyes!🤩😍 My eyes are ebony dark, I go much harder 😊
Omg omg I think I requested this look once, or maybe it was only in my head, in any case I`m so happy rn and it is phenomenal!!
Glad you like it!
