18. The Modern Medusa
Turn onlookers to stone with a mesmerizing, serpentine makeup look inspired by the legendary Gorgon. The Modern Medusa uses rich emerald greens, deep blacks, and brilliant golds to create a venomous, alluring appearance. Start with a flawless base, using a deep green eyeshadow to contour your cheekbones and the temples of your forehead for a reptilian undertone.
For the eyes, create a sharp, dramatic graphic liner that mimics the slithering shape of a snake. Use a metallic emerald green liquid liner to draw small, delicate snakes crawling from your outer eye corners or down your neck. You can also use the fishnet stencil technique on your forehead and cheekbones with a metallic green pigment to create subtle snake scales. Finish the look with a dark, glossy forest green or black lipstick with a touch of gold glitter pressed into the center.
