Halloween is just over a week away, and if you haven’t decided on a costume theme yet and don’t want to get lost in a sea of “Squid Game” character costumes, why not take inspiration from the red carpet looks of this year’s Met Gala female stars? Go for an exaggerated and eye-catching silver makeup look that stands out without being too flashy, so that your edgy futuristic style can also be the center of attention.
Grimes
Hunter Schafer
At this year’s Met Gala, in addition to Kim Kardashian’s black outfit and BLACKPINK Rosé’s debut, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend Grimes and transgender fashion supermodel Hunter Schafer’s futuristic outfits were also the talk of the town. Grimes perfectly matched the whole futuristic warrior look with pearl eye makeup and a silver mask, while Hunter Schafer appeared with light natural makeup, adding a three-dimensional silver face ornament at the center of her brows, paired with white contact lenses. The avant-garde makeup look may seem strange but still has a touch of ethereal beauty.
Amanda Gorman
Julia Garner
At the Met Gala, not only Grimes and Hunter Schafer stood out in silver outfits, but also this year’s Met Gala co-chair, poet Amanda Gorman, and Emmy Award winner for “Best Supporting Actress” Julia Garner also wore silver eye makeup. Although their looks didn’t steal the spotlight like the previous two, they were more in line with the public’s aesthetic.
To create a stylish futuristic silver makeup look, you first need to break away from the commonly used gray-silver and silver-black smoky eye makeup of the past. Makeup artist Cheryl chose to use a single silver eyeshadow to highlight the inner corner of the eyes, then gradually add silver towards the bridge of the nose, creating a shiny silver effect on the bridge of the nose and brow bone. Finally, apply a lip gloss with a similar highlighting effect to the lips, giving the overall makeup a clean and prominent look, with a brightening effect. The key is that it is very easy to master, so even makeup beginners don’t have to worry about creating a messy look.
