1. The Dark Lipstick Queen
When it comes to alt makeup, thick eyeliner and bold, dark lips are royalty. Inspired by @lora_arellano’s stellar look, here’s how to do this alt makeup look to help you flaunt these alt girl staples.
Alt Makeup Tutorial – Dark Lips
- Apply your base makeup (primer, foundation, concealer, you know the drill).
- Create full, fluffy brows with the Makeup Revolution High Brow Gel with Cannabis Sativa by sweeping the spoolie over your brows to shape, fill and set.
- Recreate this incredible alt shadow look using the Makeup Reloaded Shadow Palette in Velvet Rose. Use a pencil brush to apply a nude shade to the entire eyelid. Next, use a flat shadow brush to pat a lighter tone onto the middle of the lid, before buffing a darker shade into the crease using a tapered blending brush. Blend all 3 colors in to create a graded effect. Repeat along the lower lash line. Finish with a touch of the lightest shade in the inner corner of the eye.
- Create a thick winged eye using the Makeup Revolution Renaissance Flick Eye Liner (check out our winged eyeliner tutorial).
- Apply the Revolution 3D Faux Mink Wispy Lashes, then use the Makeup Revolution 5D Lash Pow Mascara to blend them with your natural lashes.
- Finish the face with a touch of bronzer along the cheekbones, and a touch of highlighter just above the cheekbones, along the bridge of the nose and on the chin. The Patricia Bright Moonlight Glow Face Palette has all of your highlighting and contouring needs covered!
- And to complete the look, apply your favorite deep shade lipstick to achieve the ultimate alt makeup look. For a matte finish, try the Revolution Pro Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Retro, or for a creamy finish, we recommend the Makeup Revolution Satin Kiss Lipstick in the shade Vampire.
