ITALIAN GIRL MAKEUP

Move over, french girls! As the show White Lotus rises to fame, viewers cannot help but fawn over the makeup looks each character wears. Italian girl makeup possesses a certain look that sets them apart time and time again. Learn these three makeup tips, and you’ll channel that Italian girl look in no time!

Base Makeup

The first step to any makeup routine is the base. A light, sheer and glowy base is the key to having that naturally effortless look. To achieve this, opt out of a full-coverage foundation for a glowy sunscreen or a tinted moisturizer, and use cream products for your blush, bronzer and highlight.

Lips

Many makeup trends come and go, but one trend that always stands the test of time is the classic red lip. While famous in every country, Italians are renowned for rocking the lip shade time and time again. In contrast to the popular glossy lip, Italians prefer a bold, red, and matte lip.

The Eyes

Finally, in what I believe to be the most iconic aspect of the “Italian Girl” look is the eyes. To achieve the look, black eyeshadow and black eyeliner are a must. The messier, the better!
