Like in fashion, in beauty trends are always evolving and getting inspired by the world around us. And since people have for long been intrigued by the future and interesting, out of this world things like aliens and otherworldly creatures and events, this has been translated to beauty trends as well. To many artists this is not just a trend though, It is almost like expressing their own identity, that many of them might feel is not always human, maybe feeling like they’re a bit like aliens themselves. So, for some it is a lifestyle, while for others it is just a form of having fun with makeup and being creative. Subcultures like punks are definitely a driving force behind all of these. Being different, and out there.
Whether with the help of Photoshop or creating these interesting looks only using makeup, some artists have gained huge popularity on social media by creating these looks, including Instagrammers like @melovemealot and @matieresfecales. There’s definitely a shift happening by people looking up to makeup artists that create very wearable looks to people looking up to artists who create looks that are a bit more interesting and special.
Makeup looks on the runway have occasionally been quite experimental, but there’s a long way to go before reaching the level of creativity these artists are using for their looks. Designers like Vivienne Westwood are known for runway makeup looks that are definitely out of the ordinary, but there’s not a lot of designers doing this, at least not yet.
On social media special effects makeup artists are also gaining more and more popularity every day, and especially on Halloween a lot of people are recreating these looks on their own. These are definitely not your everyday looks that could necessarily reach mass popularity, but the artists creating them are definitely doing just that. And there is definitely some inspiration to be taken for our everyday makeup looks, like geometric eyeshadow shape, futuristic lip colours and so on.
