Tim Burton’s fantastical production of the new Wednesday Series has exploded over our screens, and we cannot get enough of it. From school bullies to murder mysteries and all things gory and weird, this series, is a fresh take on the classic and unmistakable film character, Wednesday, from The Addams Family. Not only is her character one of boldness and uniqueness, but her make-up is an effortless masterpiece and one that is going viral online. Below, we have included some of our favourite remakes of Wednesday’s infamous look and products alongside tips on how to recreate this effortless wonder.
Our first gorgeous remake of Wednesday Addams’ make-up look is a look created by make-up enthusiast and influencer Tia Shea. This influencer has created a beautifully simple look with minimal make-up usage, allowing this look’s effortless nature to shine through. The influencer has used the Jordana Ticia Nude Divinity palette to create a cool-toned brown eyeshadow and used black eyeliner on her eyes that is smudged in a ‘C’ shape. The use of the eyeliner and shadow being smudged allows depth to the eyes and makes them look effortless while also flattering. The eyeliner used is Charlotte Tilbury’s, Black Kohl Liner. Tia then uses a cheekbone contour stick to sculpt the cheekbones and adds minimal concealer coverage under her eyes to allow the hollow dark eye to look like the eyes Wednesday rocks in the movie. This look is about minimal makeup and letting natural features shine through, so a unique take that Tia incorporates is the use of faux freckles on her face which not many other influencers have included. She applied faux freckles under her eyes and across the nose by using the KVD Beauty Contour with a liner brush for application. She then finishes off the look with Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in Festival Magic.
Our next incredible make-up remake has been created by TikTok creator Giannie who has also put her own spin on the look. Giannie uses a pale base for her make-up and natural brows with lots of translucent powder across her face. She uses a highlighter along her nose line and uses a medium-dark contour on her cheeks to finish off the base. Like Tia Shea, Giannie also used faux freckles subtly on her cheeks and nose to allow the minimalist and natural effect of the makeup to shine through. For her eyes, she starts off with a pinkie base and then goes in with a dark brown eyeshadow for the eyeliner. With this look it is a good idea to bring the eyeshadow down below the eye and on the waterline to really allow that almost grunge messy look to the make-up. Then finally she finishes off with light mascara and brown and red lipstick to create a sultry pop of colour on her lips. Some good products to use for Gianne’s look would be the Fenty Ease Drop Blurring Skin tint for a light base to the makeup, and the Laura Mercier Translucent Powder is a lovely powder that can really accentuate this look for a radiant finish to the base make up. The Revolution Pro Hydra Plump Lip Gloss Awaken lip gloss is a nice faded brown lip gloss that can be used and potentially mixed with a cherry red lip gloss like the Kiko Milano Hydro lip gloss.
Our next recreation of the Wednesday Addams make-up look is one by Influencer Noor who has created one of the more glammed looks thanks to her potent red lip that makes the look pop. She uses light concealer placed around her eyes, then follows with contour along her cheekbones and jawline. She blended light eyeshadow on her under eyes allowing the look of hollow eyes to be prominent. She then applied pink liquid eyeliner on her water line to make the whites of her eyes pop and followed by light mascara and a dainty eyeliner flick at the end. Her lips are the feature piece for this look as she rocks a sexy pinkie red lip. A great product to recreate these lips would be the Maybelline Sensational Shaping Lip Liner to give the lips a defined shape followed by the Bobbi Brown Crushed lipstick in Blackberry for that amazing pop of colour.
A different twist on the Wednesday Addams make-up look is the look created by Nicki Victoria on TikTok is a look which doesn’t strictly follow the typical makeup look seen on our screens, but one that is more natural and softer glam. This look doesn’t encourage the paleness that the movie advocates for and doesn’t emphasise the dark hollowness under the eyes. Instead, this look focuses on copper-toned eyeshadow for the eyes and a faded matt brown lip. This is a more casual version of the make-up look and one that is adaptable in different scenarios such as if you were going out for the evening or hanging out with friends. The NARS cosmetic eyeshadow palette in the shade copper would be ideal for this look along with the Bourjois Rouge Editon Velvet Liquid lipstick in Chocolate Corset Brown.
Lastly, our final look that was just too good to miss is a look by TikToker Alice who pays more attention to the eyes of the Wednesday Addams look that other influencers have. Alice uses a brown, pinkie and reddish eyeshadow alongside a light brown eyeshadow along the waterline and upper eyelid of the eye. This look makes the eyes appear reddish with a defined eyeliner that is a little smudged below the eye. The Fiery Matte colour pallet from Beauty Bay would be perfect for creating this look as there is more colour and less darkness around the eyes in this recreation. This version of the make-up look is more controlled and less about copying the exact format that has been used on the actress in the movie but rather putting your own spin on the look. Alice completes the look with a matted red lipstick that works perfectly with the deep reddish-brown eyes that she has styled so effortlessly. It is a gorgeous recreation and one that is wearable on many occasions.
