Fall 2009 runways were awash with colour-blocked eyes and Duran Duran hair, rocketing us Marty McFly–style back to the future, circa 1985. Why? Because everything ’80s is new again. Lipstick is bright, bold and iridescent. Fragrance is intoxicatingly opulent, steeped in history. And counterculture strolls down memory lane, redefining drugstore cool.

Top lip, from left: Try Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited ($30, at select Holt Renfrew stores) in “Blue 040”; M.A.C. lipstick ($17 each, at The Bay) in “Girl About Town” and “Morange”; Maybelline New York Superstay Lipcolor ($11, at drugstores) in “Petal”

    Wow strong colours! Again would stick to original stuff only. One advantage is you can change few times a day and still match the lipstick!
