From Madonna’s iconic blushed babe look to Angelina Jolie’s cheeky contour, makeup trends have been heavily influenced by big-screen appearances since forever, and today is nothing different. While we are keeping a close eye on the Insta babes’ to unearth another makeup trend for us to immaturely try our hand at, let us bring to you something special: Our favourite teen movie and show characters that gave us makeup inspo for days (more like years). This small list of big makeup trends is sure to bring some degree of nostalgia to you. Scroll on!
Most Swoon-Worthy Makeup Inspo
Cheryl’s Signature Red Lip
This one might be on the newer end of our bargain but we can spot iconic when we see one! This rich red lip look is now synonymous with Madelaine’s character Cheryl in the show Riverdale. And while we can’t stand the bizarre plot of the show anymore, we would bear the storyline to catch a glimpse of this red lip look.
Blair’s Contour-Blush Mania
Gossip Girl is an iconic teen show in more ways than one. And while most of us would be floored by Serena’s blonde charm, Blair became an instant favourite as we rewatched the show through grown-up vision. From her embellished headbands to aptly accessorized Chanel suits, we are also a fan of her makeup looks. Her cheekbones were always highlighted with a seamless combination of blush and contour that just spells effortless glamm in all ways.
Elena’s Bold Brow Look
Bold brows might’ve made the ‘Gram in 2015, but our girl Elena did it first! Nina Dobrev’s infamous character Elena Dobrev in the show Vampire Diaries was always spotted with minimal makeup with bold brows. This combination can work wonders to your no-makeup-makeup look even today in 2021.
Mia’s Face Uplifting Brow Bone Highlight
Yup, The Princess Diaries did it first! Watching teen Anne Hathway go through a rigorous makeover gave us tremendous points to be noted down. However, when magically straightened hair and easily tweezed brows didn’t work as smoothly, we stuck with highlighted brow bones. Always a classic, highlighted brow bones can give your makeup looks a lifting effect.
Charlotte’s Clean Makeup Look
If you’re up to date with the beauty verse, you would know the instant trending that ‘clean makeup’ has gotten over the past couple of weeks. Characters like Charlotte York Goldenblatt from SATC were the OG divas to rock this trend that still lives today. A slightly upgraded version of your old no-makeup-makeup look, a clean makeup look is easy, effortless, and classy.
