We called it: Ariana Grande is slaying in cabaret-style makeup and our guess is that, it’s the new theme to her upcoming makeup launch. The singer has always made her beauty launches uniquely thematic, what with her last one being a galactic theme that was merged with the groovy ’70s aesthetic. It’s definitely a retro vibe and we aren’t complaining because old is gold. Yet, Ariana always puts a fresh new spin on classic looks. This time round she is rocking the floating eyeliner trend embellished with metallic pearls while those distinctive cabaret lashes are amped up with feathery details. It’s very editorial and super statement-making. If you dig her new look, check out this beauty decode to try it out on yourself.
Ariana Grande’s Cabaret Style Makeup
Step 1: All Skin
Get your skin to glow before applying makeup. Double cleanse with a face wash and exfoliator and then apply a toner to balance your skin’s pH. Follow up with a serum and moisturiser to keep your skin plump, hydrated and healthy. Layer on a smoothing primer and then blend a matte foundation on your face and neck. Apply concealer if required and set your base with setting powder.
Step 2: Natural Brow
The way this popstar balances dramatic makeup trends with natural makeup application tips is what we admire the most. Here she keeps her brows bushy and groomed with a brow pencil and gel. Brush up the brows and fill in gaps with a light brow pencil first. Then, brush once again to blend the pigment. To top it off, swipe on a brow gel.
Step 3: Diva Detail
To begin, the lids are dressed with a white eyeshadow on the inner half and a pink shade on the outer half. Floating eyeliner is drawn above the singer’s crease lines with a double line for extra flair. The top-most line of the floating eyeliner is embellished with metallic pearl details that are stuck on with lash glue. Her lash lines are defined with sharp a winged eyeliner and custom feather lashes are placed only at the outer corners of her lash line.
Step 4: Contour Queen
Ariana’s contour is so on point, it’s giving us chills. Contour the tip of your nose, the cheekbones, and hair line with a bronzer for a subtle yet snatched effect. Add a peachy blush to the apples of your cheeks and highlight the high points of your face with a highlighter.
Step 5: Plush Kiss
Keep your lips smooth and ready for makeup by exfoliating with a lip scrub and then moisturising with a balm. Outline your lips with a pink lip pencil and blend it inwards. Swipe on a nude lipstick and then top it off with a tinted lip gloss.
Ariana Grande’s Sleek Hair Notes
The star rocked a chic ponytail that featured both, a sleek and a voluminous texture. To get her look, first wash your hair with the right nourishing shampoo and conditioner. Then apply a serum to the damp lengths and blow dry it till smooth. Next, apply some hair gel or a hair mask only to the roots of your locks and comb with a boar bristle brush to pull your hair together. Then, tie it into a ponytail. The rest of your lengths will be soft and voluminous while the hair closest to your roots will appear glossy and sleek. Brush your baby hair with a spoolie brush and use hairspray to set the flwaways in place.
