This Halloween is the perfect opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and experiment with bold makeup looks. By putting on rhinestones, bright eyeliners and perhaps some accent eyeshadow, you can bring a whole look together by striking a balance or giving your costume a pop.
Wait – what if I wanted to style these looks on a daily basis? If this style of makeup is all about self expression, then shouldn’t people be implementing these elements routinely? More importantly, a daily style shouldn’t necessarily require heavy makeup, but instead allow me to perhaps incorporate makeup that I already have at my disposal.
To answer these questions, I decided to ask for opinions and tips by contacting Sven (@narcissues), who I have been following on Instagram for quite a while and know is a fashion experimentalist.
He said that the Euphoria style is a celebration of who you are on the inside, and is emphasizing how people use makeup and clothing as a tool for self-expression. He draws inspiration from people (fictional and non-fictional) who are not afraid to both be and express themselves. Pertaining to the show, he loves the use of colors; Jule’s colored socks is just one example of what he has since experimented with. Therefore, choosing a certain clothing item from the show or popping on some bright eyeshadow or red lipstick, will further help you turn Euphoria looks into a more casual and daily-friendly habit.
The most important tip is to really “just do it” and to not be afraid. It is important to be who you want to be and to wear what you want to wear. When Sven first started experimenting with his style, he did things gradually; from painting his nails, to wearing different lipsticks and now dresses. It might be helpful to practice at home, and when you feel confident enough you can wear that fabulous makeup or clothing in the outside world.
