ROUGE! WIGS! SHOULDER PADS! Few eras in makeup get me as excited as the 80s. Oh how I LIVE for the perfectly contoured faces, smokey eyes, and venom red lips! As a Netflix subscriber, I have fallen prey to watching any and everything that is “suggested” to me. Being that I was born in 1986, I don’t really have clear memories of television shows from that day-and-age, but getting to become acquainted with them in my adulthood has been a real treat.
