If you haven't watched the music video to The Weeknd's new release, "Starboy," you need to go watch it RIGHT NOW! Below is a link to the video, and this week I have created three makeup palettes inspired by the music video. I hope you enjoy! And please, try this at home.
The Weekday – “Look what you’ve done.”
Inspired by the death of The Weeknd’s former self, it’s important that the makeup conveyed a nude hue (to mimic a sort of blank slate). However, The Weeknd doesn’t do anything basic, so I used a gold palette to add a little extra something to impress.
Eyes: Outlined in Avon’s “Blackest Black” gel eyeliner. Measurable Difference “Natural Nude” palette, Maybelline Master Duo Eye Studio Liquid Eyeliner in “Black Lacquer,”
Lips: NYX Lingerie in "nude"
Base: Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder in “011 Creamy Natural,” DLS baked highlighter in “Bellissima,” Pure Cosmetics Blushing Bronzer, TIGI “Brunette” brow sculpt duo, Arbonne crème Concealer in “Light.”
Midnight Panther – “Switch up my style, I take any lane.”
In the video, a black cat turns into a panther and accompanies The Weeknd in his Jaguar. A serious attitude comes with the territory, so this darker palette is sure to satisfy any midnight cruiser.
Eyes: Arbonne “Devine Plum” eye shadow, Wet n Wild “black” eye shadow, Outlined in Avon’s “Blackest Black” gel eyeliner.
Lips: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in “Moscow”
Base: Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder in “011 Creamy Natural,” DLS baked highlighter in “Bellissima,” Pure Cosmetics Blushing Bronzer, TIGI “Brunette” brow sculpt duo, Arbonne crème Concealer in “Light.”
Revenge is your Religion – “I’m trying to put you in the worst mood… ah.”
Inspired by the red LED cross that is used to smash pictures and furniture… show those haters that you don’t see their shade. This classic look is both fierce and sexy, and will surely cut through any crowd.
Eyes: Outlined in Avon’s “Blackest Black” gel eyeliner. Avon mega effects liquid eyeliner in “black/noir,” urban decay “fireball” eye shadow, Pure Cosmetics “Buff Collection” in “Quartz” and “Mirage.”
Lips: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in “Monte Carlo”
Base: Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder in “011 Creamy Natural,” DLS baked highlighter in “Bellissima,” Pure Cosmetics Blushing Bronzer, TIGI “Brunette” brow sculpt duo, Arbonne crème Concealer in “Light.”
