9. The Psychedelic Pop Art Character

9


Transform yourself into a living, breathing piece of comic book art with a vibrant Pop Art makeup look. This style relies heavily on bold black outlines and flat, bright primary colors to mimic the classic Ben-Day dot printing process of vintage comic strips. Start by applying a full-coverage, matte foundation to create a flat canvas.

Using a high-quality black liquid liner or body paint, draw sharp, graphic lines to define your features: outline your jawline, the bridge of your nose, your collarbones, and your eyebrows with bold, comic-book-style strokes. Next, use a small dowel, the end of a makeup brush, or a stencil to meticulously apply even rows of bright red or pink dots across your face. Paint your lips a vibrant red, complete with a painted white “highlight” stroke to make them look three-dimensional and glossy on paper. The result is a striking, head-turning look that looks incredible in photos.
