I attempted to recreate this look

It's so much fun to try recreating celebrity makeup looks, especially when they're as iconic as Ariana Grande's 'we can't be friends' cloud makeup! I totally get what you mean about not being a pro; that's half the fun – just experimenting and seeing what happens. For anyone else looking to dive into recreating this distinctive white cloud-like makeup under the eyes, I've picked up a few tips that might help you perfect your own version. First off, choosing the right product is key for those white clouds. A super pigmented white liquid eyeliner or a creamy white face paint works wonders. You want something that's opaque and doesn't crack easily. Some people even use a white cream eyeshadow with a fine-tipped brush. I find that starting with a clear, clean base under your eyes helps the white pop more. When it comes to creating the cloud shapes, patience is your best friend! Instead of trying to draw a perfect cloud right away, I'd suggest dabbing small, irregular dots with a tiny brush or the tip of your liner. Then, gently connect them with soft, wispy strokes to build up that fluffy cloud effect. Remember, clouds are organic and imperfect, so don't stress about making them identical. You can also use a small, dense brush to lightly tap and blend the edges if you want a softer, more diffused cloud. To make sure your gorgeous cloud makeup lasts all day (or night!), a good setting spray is essential. After you've got your clouds just right, give your face a good spritz. This helps lock everything in place, especially if you're using cream-based products. And let's not forget the overall vibe! While the main focus is the white cloud-like makeup, Ari's look also features a soft, ethereal glow. Think subtle blush, a natural lip gloss, and maybe even a touch of highlighter. If you want to go all out, you could even try to incorporate some red elements, perhaps with a subtle red inner corner highlight or red accessories, to nod to those red glowing ear devices in the music video – though that might be more of a prop than a makeup element! Don't be afraid to put your own spin on it, too! Maybe you want a glittery cloud, or a smaller, more subtle cloud. The beauty of recreating looks is making them work for *you*. It's all about having fun, embracing vulnerability, and sharing your creative journey. So grab your white liner, turn on 'Eternal Sunshine,' and give it a whirl!
