It’s been a few weeks since Dune Part 2 premiered in theaters but the movement is still going strong. From Zendaya’s iconic premiere looks to the cinematic visuals in the movie itself, it’s clear that Dune has a chokehold on us all. Recently, beauty gurus have been expressing their admiration for the film by creating otherworldly makeup looks inspired by Dune’s characters and costumes. These looks often feature dramatic cat eyes and spice melange color palettes, evoking the essence of the movie. If you are looking to immerse yourself in this cinematic universe, now is the perfect time to embrace this trend and try out a Dune inspired makeup look for yourself.
For this striking Dune inspired makeup, the focus is on the eyes to convey a sense of sultriness, femininity, and strength, mirroring the essence of the film. Begin by applying a primer to create a smooth base. Sweep a soft matte brown eyeshadow across the eyelids, blending upwards and into the crease for a seamless transition. Next, use a darker gray shade to add depth to the outer corner, blending any excess into the crease for added definition.
Highlight the inner corner of the eyes with a light silver shade, then apply a matching glitter topper. Create a bold cat eye effect using liquid eyeliner, extending the line outward for a dramatic look. Once the eyeliner has dried, switch to a waterproof kohl eyeliner to line the upper and lower lash lines, as well as the inner corner, ensuring that the entire eye is rimmed with black.
Blend the crease eyeshadow underneath the lower lash line to enhance the smoky effect. Complete the look with a pair of false eyelashes to further accentuate the eyes. Finish the rest of your makeup as usual, keeping the focus on the dramatic eyes.
This Dune inspired makesup is sure to make a statement, while also paying tribute to the film’s mesmerizing aesthetic.
