The 80s were notorious for disco, shoulder pads, neon and loud eyeshadow. The latter of which blinded bystanders last night in Beverly Hills, as the 2019 Golden Globes kicked off.

Nick Barose, who was behind Lupita Nyong'o's bold electric blue lashes, said his inspiration came from French artist Yves Klein, and 'a little bit of 80s fun'. He used Lancome's Drama Liqui Pencil in Cote de Azur to line her eyes, before applying Lashify's Gossamer False Lashes in 'Royal Blue' to create the colour-popping look.
