Chinese douyin makeup has been making waves on social media for its ultra-glam style that emphasizes flawless skin, sparkly eyes, and glossy lips. Now, a new micro-trend emerging from the Douyin makeup community takes inspiration from a beloved childhood movie character: Marie the cat from “Aristocats.” This girly look, featuring a giant bow around the neck, is not only charming but also perfect for the spring season. If you’re looking to try something new, this Douyin makeup trend is worth a try!
To achieve a flawless base, East Asian makeup often relies on cushion foundation. You can nail a similar full-coverage look with the La Mer Luminous Lifting Cushion Foundation. Next, shape and fill in your brows as needed. Moving on to the eyes, start by applying a primer or concealer, then sweep a baby pink eyeshadow all over the lids. Use a darker, fuchsia eyeshadow to emphasize the outer corners and create a wing shape, blending it into the crease for a seamless look. Apply a shimmery pink eyeshadow to the inner half of your lid, and add a white highlight shade to the inner corner and brow bone.
Continuing with the baby pink eyeshadow, softly smoke out your lower lid. Once you’re satisfied with the colors, use a liquid eyeliner to create a dramatic wing in the outer corner – key for achieving the cat-like look of Marie. Curl your lashes and apply your favorite pair of wispy falsies. For an extra touch, use the liquid eyeliner to draw a few faux lashes on the bottom lash line.
Finish off your look with a jelly gloss on your lips, and voila! Your adorable kitty-inspired Douyin makeup look is complete!
