There are two types of friendships – one where you and your bestie are basically twins, and another where your BFF has a completely contrasting personality to yours. While all friendly bonds are a case of celebration, the latter is an elite combination of polar opposite personalities and mutual resilience. This outstanding feature proves evidence in some factors that meet the eye, and in some that don’t. If you’re the unabashed double texter, they’re more of a ‘tell me on call’ person. If you’re into Prateek Kuhad’s music, they probably listen to Black Sabbath. While these disparities prove to exhibit the features of bonding elements, friendships with polar opposite personalities are always a rollercoaster of fun.
Today, we are looking at on-screen BFFs pairs that display their dissimilarities via their contrasting beauty aesthetics. A double treat for someone looking for beauty inspiration, we are highlighting legendary duos that paved the way for stronger female friendships ever since we were teens.
Partners In Crime
Veronica And Betty – Riverdale
Partners in crime, quite literally. Betty and Veronica, from Riverdale, are much friendlier than shown in the OG inspiration of the show, Archie Comics. It is a classic pairing of the sweet and innocent with the blunt and fearless. Betty follows a softer, cottage core-esque vibe with natural brows, blushed cheeks, and pink lips, while Veronica doesn’t shy away from making a statement. She is always spotted with bold, arched brows, and a pop red lip.
Maddy And Cassie – Euphoria
If you’re any sort of makeup, beauty, or even fashion fanatic, you can not have missed Euphoria. A show that reels a raw display of today’s typical teenage life, it is heavy with stylish and jaw-dropping makeup looks. The BFF duo of Maddy and Cassie have donned brilliant makeup looks for the show. Where Cassie is the ‘it girl’, Maddy’s beauty aesthetic is clearly a hot girl vibe. Maddy likes to go extra with her makeup with exaggerated and vibrant eyeliners, OTT hairstyles, and overlined lips. Cassie’s character sticks with soft glam and is seen with glossy lips, shimmery lids, and a dewy makeup base.
Umang And Siddhi – Four More Shots Please
If there’s any Bollywood show that got a little closer to displaying female friendships in the city of dreams like SATC, it was Four More Shots Please. A modernized show that glamorized the Bay life (more than it is), it also displayed a fitting friendship between four women with extremely different personalities. Umang and Siddhi are best friends with polar opposite beauty aesthetics. Umang finds her personality best expressed with purple hair, intense kajal looks, and (very cool) face and ear piercings. Siddhi is someone who has had a protected childhood and her personality’s softness is evident in her soft girl makeup looks. She rocks a mid-length bob with soft waves and is always spotted with a red or pink lip.
Cady And Janis – Mean Girls
Mean Girls has been every girl’s favourite movie at least once in their lifetime. The instant friendship that sparked between Janis and Cady is what we are all looking for in BFFs. This duo had major disparities in their personalities and aesthetics. Cady was not a girly girl but then transformed into the school’s staple hot girl. Her aesthetic can be best described as the barbie vibe. She wore pink gloss with heavy liner and mascara looks. Janis was more of an emo-goth and stuck to intense kohl eyes, and black lips sometimes. We love the dramatic flair, Janis.
Anjali And Tina – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
You’d be lying if you said you have not obsessed over this little Bollywood number. If Rahul was out of the picture, we’re pretty sure Anjali and Tina would have ruled their college. This complicated friendship between Kajol and Rani’s characters is another example of polar-opposite best friends. Anjali was a tomboy with minimal, and no-makeup-makeup looks, Tina was a total bomb with her mini skirts. She aced her cool-girl vibe with glossy makeup, brown gloss, and shimmery lids. Hands down, one of our favourite on-screen BFFs!
Do you and your bestie share an aesthetic or are you guys polar opposites too? If yes, then which on-screen BFF duo do you relate to the most?
