The villain era is in and grunge makeup is having a major moment in fashion, and as always, what happens in fashion eventually makes its way to beauty. It’s no surprise that this makeup style has become so popular. Grunge makeup can be worn by anyone and it’s the perfect makeup aesthetic for the season of Fall. The best part is makeup trends that fall in this category are super easy to create and you can even make messy makeup applications work in your favour. So, whether you’re going clubbing on a Friday night or simply looking to tap into that grunge core vibe for a catch-up with friends, there are plenty of ways to pull this look off without looking like an untamed animal. Here are some ideas that you can recreate which have been spotted on the trendiest celebs.
6 Celebrity Grunge Makeup Ideas For Fall 2022
Smudge Me Grunge
If you’re feeling rebellious and want to show off your inner rock star, try smudging your eyeliner all over with a black kohl pencil like Deepika Padukone. After that, go for a thick liner application on your lash lines and finish with mascara. You can also add some red lipstick for extra drama if desired; I mean…how much drama is too much drama anyway?
Skinny Set
This look is perfect for everyday errands because it gives off a grungy vibe without completely changing how people see you. Bella Hadid’s skinny eyeliner game requires basic winged liner application on your upper lash lines and a black kohl pencil only on your waterlines. Your skin can be kept fresh and dewy with a soft blush and glossed lip to tie it all together.
The Turn Tables
Winged eyeliner has always been a major trend. But as with all makeup trends, there are many different ways to create winged eyeliner. Sobhita Dulipala’s reverse cat eyeliner is giving us hardcore grunge vibes that are as edgy as the trends spotted on Fall/Winter runways this season. Blend a dusty brown eyeshadow on your lids and apply liner boldly on your lower lash lines instead of your upper lash lines and extend the liner out in the wings.
Grunge Glam
For the Glamm girls, Dua Lipa’s glitzy yet grungy makeup look is a definite must-try look. Blend a metallic greyish-silver eyeshadow on your lids and adhere rhinestones along your crease line. Wear a dusty-rose matte lipstick to make this makeup very ’90s.
Grease Lightning
The grunge makeup look is all about smudged finishes and makeup looking lived-in, so don’t worry too much about mess-ups or applying your makeup cleanly. Radhika Madan makes a case for lived-in grungy makeup with a soft glam flair here. To create her look, apply dark brown eyeshadow all over your lids and then layer a bronzer shimmer eyeshadow over it. Use a brown kohl on your lower lash lines and keep your lip and cheek makeup muted.
Grey Area
Grey eyeshadow never appealed to us as much before. But after Emily Ratajkowski flaunted this grungy makeup look, we are convinced grey eyeshadow deserves all our attention. Blend the shade on your lids and lower lash lines and then define your eyes with kohl. Add warmth to your visage by applying bronzer on your cheeks and then an apricot blush. Outline your lips with a dark lip liner and swipe on a lip gloss to complete the look.
You see, it’s not exclusively for the rockstars and bad boys anymore – ready to roll in the trend yet?
