Stars like Taylor Swift and Adele have ensured that the right styling is becoming increasingly important when attending a concert: three make-up ideas.
2024 will probably be remembered as the year of mega-concerts. Music icons like Taylor Swift (34) and Adele (36) have thrilled audiences with their shows: Taylor Swift filled stadiums around the world on her “Eras Tour,” while Adele enchanted her fans at her shows in Munich. The concert goers’ make-up also deserved an upgrade – to match the large stage! Here is a simple and suitable make-up inspiration for every music genre for your next concert visit:
Pop music can sparkle!
A shimmering eyeshadow complemented with glitter elements in gold, silver or strong pink is ideal for capturing the energetic vibe of the big pop concerts. It doesn’t have to be particularly extreme – a gentle touch on the movable eyelid is enough to create a dazzling look.
First apply an eyeshadow base so that the glitter lasts all evening. Then choose a glittery eyeshadow and gently dab it over the entire eyelid. For a more intense effect, the color can be applied with a slightly damp brush. With deep black mascara and a touch of highlighter in the inner corner of the eye, the glitter look looks particularly radiant and captures the lights of the stage perfectly. Glitter eye shadow goes particularly well with a fresh, slightly shimmering complexion and subtle lips – a rosy blush completes this dazzling look.
Metallic look for big ballads
A concert of dramatic ballads requires a makeup look that is both elegant and expressive. Metallic eyes in silver or champagne are perfect for capturing the light from the stage and letting it shine. This look is glamorous but still has a certain amount of restraint.
First apply a neutral, matte eyeshadow as a base to the entire eyelid. Then gently dab a shiny metallic color, such as silver or gold, onto the movable eyelid. For an even more intense effect, apply the color with a damp brush and finally draw a fine eyeliner, which is lightly blended to intensify the smokey effect. A touch of highlighter under the brow bone completes the whole thing and makes the look shine. So that the eyes are the focus, the rest of the face remains subtle – a light gloss on the lips is enough to make the look particularly elegant and expressive.
Rock classic
A classic that goes particularly well with rock and indie concerts is the smokey eye look. This year the look can be a little more “grunge”. The smoky colors, such as gray, dark brown or black, work best if the eyeshadow and eyeliner lines are not too clean.
The look starts with an eyeshadow base that ensures long-lasting wear, even when things get hot. Then apply a dark eyeshadow along the lash line, blending slightly upwards and outwards to achieve the desired effect. Kajal on the eyelash line can also be smudged so that the result looks even more casual. With a touch of bronzer and a matte lipstick in rosé or beige, the look gets the necessary unfinished touch.
