Looking for some inspiration for your next full glam makeup look? Well look no further, below are some of the hottest and most flamboyant make-up looks that we are obsessed with right now.
From re-creating the 00s-inspired Julia fox look to the glittery eyebrows of Rowi Singh, there is something for everyone in these looks.
So, sit back, relax and let Voir show you some amazing looks that we just know you’re going to want to try asap.
Lilac Lust
Our first look is truly mesmerising, created by Tali for Alexander McQueen’s showpiece at the Met Gala on the model Pania, this look stole the show. It is a beautiful translucent lilac and white eyeshadow look coupled with bleached eyebrows and a glossy nude and brown lip gloss. This look is the perfect mix of the 00s makeup with a modern twist thanks to the bleached eyebrows that bring this look into 2023.
By bleaching Pania’s brows and having a very light and translucent eyeshadow look it allows Pania’s eyes and her lashes to really pop. This is a great look to try out if you’re looking for a full glam that is subtle but with a little spice. This look can be dressed down by not bleaching your brows and having them au natural or alternately you can dress up this look and style it how Panina has.
The Rimmel London Magnif’Eyes Holographic Mono Eyeshadow in shade Lunar Lilac is a gorgeous shimmery pale purple that would look incredible across your eyes if you were thinking of recreating this look.
Mac also does a gorgeous shimmery eyeshadow in the shade Ready to Party which is a highlighted purple that would be a good mix with the Jeffree Star Eye Gloss Powder which is a white and silvery eyeshadow. Alternatively, if you have a matte white eyeshadow already but are wanting that translucent shimmery finish you could use your highlighter on the top of your eyeshadow to finish off the look and give it that shimmery aesthetic.
The brown lip liner and nude gloss is a look that was very popular in the 00s and one that we have seen a resurgence of this past year. The trick with this look is to get a pigmented brown lip liner that is smooth and won’t smudge and layer it with a glossy wet lip gloss to create that wet look aesthetically. This lip combo is so sexy and one that we don’t think will be going anywhere anytime soon. Fenty does a super glossy wet lip gloss that would be perfect to have in your make-up collection if you wanted a look like the brown liner and glossy lip combo or if you just want to add some gloss to your matte lipstick.
Purple Hues
If you liked the first look but it wasn’t as colourful and vibrant as you would have liked, then this next look might just do the trick. This purple cat eye has really gone all out as it includes a subtle but stunning red eyeliner amongst the purple hues which really levels up the look.
The bold purple eyeshadow combined with red eyeliner on the bottom lash line and a small feline flick brings a sassy appeal to the look and makes it captivating as well as bright and colourful with that pop of purple.
Beauty Bay does an amazing array of purple eyeshadow shades in their palette Midnight 16. This palette is great for this look as depending on what sort of purple you’re after, you can guarantee will be a shade there for you.
With this look, we think that an eyeshadow would be best to use to create the winged red eyeliner as a liquid liner may be too overpowering and dominate the look, taking the attention away from the purple eyeshadow which is the main attraction.
A cream eyeshadow would be perfect as it would not be too overpowering but also won’t smudge and blend in too much as a powder eyeshadow may. Pixi has a lovely collection of cream eyeshadow that has a variety of shades you can choose from.
Julia’s 90s Throwback
Who would have thought, the day has come when thin eyebrows are making a comeback and were low-key digging it. *gasp*
This iconic look was super popular in the 90s and early 00s and surprisingly it has resurfaced recently with models and celebs rocking the thin drawn-on eyebrow look. Luckily, they haven’t gone too drastic yet and plucked their eyebrows down to thin lines but instead, they used concealer and bleach to cover their natural eyebrows and then drew on the thin brows with an eyebrow pencil. This is a handy way to achieve that 90s look without being risky and plucking your eyebrows down drastically and potentially regretting it later.
Julia rocks a white and grey eyeshadow look with thick mascara and nude metallic lips, so 90s so cute!
The eyebrows really finish off the eyeshadow look as they accentuate her eyes perfectly and sculpt her upper face beautifully. The Vieve Ninetease palette would be a great palette to use to recreate the eyeshadow look Julia rocks so effortlessly. It has a selection of lovely nude colours and a beautiful off-white shade that matches the colour used on Julia.
For her lips, the Beauty Pie Luxe Shine Master Sweet lipstick is a beautifully pigmented lipstick that is metallic and has a little sparkle mixed within, perfect for recreating this look.
Wet Lips and Bold Eyes
Continuing the theme of glossy wet lips, Sophia Sinot created an OG glam look for Paris Fashion Week that included timeless bold black eyeliner and glossy lips. The unique twist we hear you ask, well with this look you’ll find your answer when taking a closer look at her lips.
Sophia has used a brown lip liner on the outer sides of the lips and a very dark brown almost black liner in the middle that seeps into the middle of the lips, to finish it off she applies wet glossy lip gloss on top. There is near to no product on the middle of the lips, and this allows a natural ombre effect to be created. This is a lovely modern spin on the classic brown lip liner and glossy lip-gloss look and one that we cannot wait to try out.
This glam look is a lovely soft glam that has a soft glittery eyeshadow and bold double-lined eyeliner that formed a cat eye look. A liquid eyeliner would be ideal for creating this look as it demands a bold striking eyeliner. The Bare Minerals Maximist Liquid Eyeliner or the Mac Brushstroke Liner are great liquid eyeliners that will be bold and defining for any eyeliner look.
The Sleek Makeup Locked Up Super Precise Lip Liner is a pigmented brown lip liner that would work perfectly with the Fenty glossy lip gloss that we previously mentioned to create the irresistible lips that Sophia created.
Sparkling Brows
We’ve saved the boldest look until last, and boy are you guys in for a treat. Styling glittery eyeshadow with star stickers and feline eyes alongside black under-eye eyeliner, this makeup look is really something.
If you’re a sucker for glitter this look is perfect for you as it also includes glitter eyebrows! Yes, you heard correctly. These glittery eyebrows are a bold and unique take on the brows and honestly, we are kind of obsessed. They look powerful and glamorous, everything you want from a make-up look.
To create these unmissable brows, we suggest bleaching your eyebrows and using soap to hold them in place, then go with some glittery eyeliner or use Vaseline and glitter pots to paint on top of your brows to give them that sparkling appeal.
You’ll be thankful to hear that the eyes in this look are a little easier, you could use Danessa Myricks Beauty Colour fix 24-hour Cream Colour eyeshadow that is in a liquid form to paint across your eyes to create that shimmery wet eyeshadow look. Then simply apply some cute stickers if you wish and lashes alongside eyeliner on the waterline of your eye to complete the look.
