Makeup from cult films: looks worth attention

We have already told you about films in which the role of makeup is difficult to overestimate. We continue our beautiful film history with a new selection.

"Burlesque"

The beauty images of the main characters in the well-known musical “Burlesque” are an ode to color and bold decisions in makeup. Red lips and creative black eyeliner, like Christina Aguilera, chocolate smokey eyes and raspberry lipstick in the style of Cher, or maybe calm nude makeup? What kind of makeup solution will the movie inspire you to make?

"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"

This musical comedy will soon turn 70 years old, which does not stop us from looking at the images of the main characters played by Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell with the same pleasure. Classic Hollywood makeup appears here in all its glory: seductive cat eyeliner, spectacular red lips, fluffy eyelashes and, of course, perfect porcelain skin with a pink blush.

"The Great Gatsby"

The beauty aesthetics of the 20s of the last century are beautifully conveyed in the no less beautiful film “The Great Gatsby”. Brown-beige and gray smokey eyes, chocolate and caramel shades on the lips, graceful thin eyebrows and just a drop of blush - this is exactly how the make-up artist of the film depicted the makeup of that time. The main role, of course, was played by the short haircuts of the main characters and hair decorations characteristic of that time.

"Sex and the City"

The cult TV series Sex and the City is called the fashion bible, and makeup in the images of Charlotte, Samantha, Carrie and Miranda plays an important role. Girls complement bright, catchy and literally sparkling outfits for evening outings with no less spectacular makeup, and they complete daily looks with the help of nude shades and spot accents.

"Cleopatra"

Cleopatra's truly legendary makeup from the 1963 film of the same name is considered a classic of the genre, and it's hard to argue with that. Turquoise shades of shadow on the eyelids, coal-black wings with massive ponytails in the outer corners of the eyes, smoothly flowing into graphic eyebrows... A brick-colored blush and creamy beige lipstick complete this iconic makeup look.

"The Tenenbaum Family"

If you haven't seen the movie yet, we know what you should do this weekend. The heroine of the film, Margot Tenenbaum, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, became an idol for young people in the 2000s and a muse for figures in the fashion industry. Black eyeliner around the eyes right along the mucous membrane, peach glossy gloss on the lips and an even complexion are a great idea for inspiration in 2021.

"Cell"

Jennifer Lopez's colorful and sometimes surreal makeup options in the film "The Cell" are worth special attention, because the makeup artists gave free rein to their imagination, based on the plot of the film - the main character ends up in the dreams of a murderous maniac. Charcoal wings on the eyelids and lipstick in the shade of Marsala or delicate, airy makeup in a natural beige color scheme - the images of the heroine directly depend on what is happening in the head of the criminal.
