... Read moreOMG, when I saw Chappell Roan’s SNL performance, I was immediately obsessed with her makeup! I knew I just had to try recreating it. Her entire aesthetic, from the dramatic eye makeup to the bold lips and even her signature long, curly red hair, is just pure artistry. It's not just makeup; it's a statement, a whole vibe that screams 'WE ARE THE WEIRDOS' in the best way possible.
Let’s dive into how I tackled that incredible dramatic purple and silver eye makeup. First, I started with a good eyeshadow primer to make sure those vibrant colors would pop and stay put all night. For the purple, I went for a blendable, intense shade from one of my favorite makeup palettes – something similar to what you might find in a 'Trick or Inked' collection, which often has those rich, deep tones. I packed it heavily on the lid and winged it out dramatically, really leaning into that theatrical look. Then, for that metallic pop, I added a shimmery silver pigment to the inner corners and blended it subtly into the purple, creating that signature Chappell Roan sparkle. Don't forget a sharp black liquid liner for an exaggerated wing and plenty of mascara, or even some dramatic false lashes, to really open up the eye area.
Next up, the heavy blush and dark lipstick. Chappell Roan isn't shy with her blush, and neither should you be for this look! I used a vibrant, cool-toned pink blush and applied it generously on the apples of my cheeks, sweeping it upwards towards my temples. This isn't your everyday subtle blush; it's meant to be a focal point, working with the dramatic eyes. For the lips, a deep, dark lipstick is essential. I opted for a matte plum or a dark berry shade to complement the purple eyes. Precision is key here, so using a lip liner first helps to define the shape and prevent any feathering.
Beyond the face, her overall look is always so cohesive. Think about how her hair and nails play into her persona. While I don't always rock her signature long, curly red hair, experimenting with temporary color sprays or a bold wig can amplify the recreation. And her nails? Often long, pointed, and adorned with glitter or quirky designs – they add another layer to her 'goth' glam. Even accessories like a purple floral choker, as seen in some of her looks, tie everything together.
What I love most about Chappell Roan's makeup isn't just the specific products, but the confidence and creativity behind it. It's empowering to embrace these 'makeup looks' and draw 'makeup inspo' from her bold choices. Whether you’re going for a full SNL recreation or just want to incorporate elements like her vibrant eye makeup or heavy blush into your own style, remember it's all about having fun and expressing yourself. So grab your favorite makeup palettes, get creative, and don't be afraid to be a little theatrical. It's your face, your canvas, and your chance to channel your inner pop star!
