In the era of the office siren takeover, a bold makeup resurgence is making waves, drawing inspiration from none other than Bayonetta, the iconic video game vixen of the early 2000s. Bayonetta, a fierce femme fatale in her sleek catsuit, rocks a sultry look with her signature updo and glasses – even in the heat of battle. With the rise of the office siren and the unstoppable allure of Bayonetta, the trend is set to conquer social media, predicting a surge in the adoption of glasses as the ultimate accessory. Brace yourself, because embracing the Bayonetta makeup trend isn’t just a style choice; it’s a fierce declaration of empowerment. Get ready to unleash the siren within!
Start your makeup routine by prepping your skin and using concealer to eliminate any dark spots or discoloration. For a flawless finish, try blending with a sponge dampened with a setting spray. Bayonetta has a very strong, angular bone structure, so be sure to contour your face and nose accordingly. Mattify your entire face with a pressed powder, paying extra attention around the nose to ensure your makeup stays in place when wearing glasses. Follow up with powdered bronzer to enhance cheekbone definition, and add a touch of blush for a rosy complexion.
This makeup look is very much reminiscent of the early 2000s. To really hit the nail on the head, you can use an angled brush and a little bit of concealer to mimic the appearance of sharper, thinner brows. Add color and definition to the eyes by popping in a matte brown eyeshadow into the crease and a purple eyeshadow on the lids for the true Bayonetta aesthetic. Line your eyes with a black eyeliner and smudge the outer corner ever-so-slightly to create a subtle wing. As the final step to this Bayonetta makeup, line the lower lash line and complete the look with mascara.
