"Rebel" style for blondes
When creating a grunge makeup on mother-of-pearl shadows, you must also take into account the color of the hair so that it looks more advantageous. Blonde girls should not be afraid to paint their eyebrows in a bright dark color. Because grunge makeup allows for a combination of blond hair and dark eyebrows.
From the shades of lipstick, you should choose the color of fuchsia or cherry. If you have grown roots, then this will be a great addition to this makeup.
Grunge style for brown-haired women
The combination of dark brown shadows on the top and black with sparkles on the bottom looks spectacular. It is best to emphasize the lips with dark brown or plum lipstick.
Blush should choose a peach or brown shade. If the girl has brown-eyed brown hair, it is better to use lipstick in a neutral shade, and highlight her eyes with black shadows.
Colors for dark-haired people
Girls with jet hair should emphasize their lips with bright red lipstick or a shade of burgundy. Shadows should choose black or a shade of wet asph alt.
Also for fashionistas with dark hair, plum-colored lipstick is suitable. And it is not recommended for these girls to highlight cheekbones with blush.
Makeup mistakes
Many people think that if the grunge style is provocative and bright, then you can experiment with all saturated colors. This is an erroneous opinion: a riot of colors will only "overload" the image. Therefore, you do not need to combine shades of rich dark blue, green and lilac shades with defiantly bright lipstick.
The next mistake is drawing a clear outline of the lips, as is customary in pin-up makeup. Also, for the grunge style, the use of pale pink lip gloss is unacceptable - this adds to the image of glamour.
You also don't need to cover your eyelids with a thick layer of black shadows. Your task is to create a smoky makeup, something likethe popular Smokey Ice. Even though "grunge" is bright, you don't need to experiment with brick-colored shadows or bright blush. Or try to give a tanned face a pale shade.
Suitable for what?
Makeup in the style of "grunge-rock" - an option for self-confident, extravagant girls. Therefore, it will be ideally combined with a casual style of clothing (stretched sweaters and knitted dresses, dark colors, oversized shirts). If you want to embody the image of a real rock diva, then take a closer look at ripped jeans and denim vests.
Black hats are suitable as a headdress, and scarves of bright colors can be used as an accessory. Shoes are best to choose white, blue or black. Boots should look like men's, but there is one caveat: such a model will look good only on long and slender legs. A good alternative is wide-leg cowboy boots.
Grunge style excludes shoes with heels - they should be comfortable. Therefore, the so-called "timberlakes" remain at the peak of popularity. Shoes should be solid and thick soles, which emphasizes the rebellious style.
If before the grunge style was associated only with youth protesting against glamor, now it can be attributed more to bohemian and intelligent. The main principles in the selection of clothes are convenience, brightness. Therefore, the resulting images should be defiant, even slightly provocative.
Hairstyle should not seem neat, hair should be styled in a light creative mess. You can curl them slightly or collect them in a bun, from which small strands will knock out.
If earlier the "grunge" style was associated only with rock music, constant parties, a challenge to public opinion, now girls emphasize their individuality, creative nature, artistry. But if you think that the main plus is that you need to spend less time on fees, then the opinion is somewhat erroneous. After all, in order to create sloppiness, negligence, so that it looks aesthetically pleasing, you need to take into account all the recommendations described above. If you individually select one of the elements (make-up, hairstyle, clothes), then it will not look as impressive as if they make up a single ensemble. Grunge style will emphasize your individuality, artistry and create a special image.
