WHERE DOES CHAPPELL ROAN'S MAKEUP TAKE INSPIRATION FROM?

After winning the Grammy for "Best New Artist" and presenting her hit single "Pink Pony Club," all eyes are on Chappell Roan. Her extravagant and unique style of histrionic makeup is a journey of inspirations that ranges from the world of cinema, theater, and drag, and achieving it is within everyone's reach.

The queer context of the singer is rooted in the message she transmits with her lyrics and her style. The community has always been connected to the liberation and transformation that the art of theater brings them.

A bit of white base, eyes with increased dimensions to express and marked contours to reach the last row. The opportunity to modify our exterior to escape, even for a moment, from mockery and be someone else, a clown, a freak, is the basis of this makeup, of which Andrew Dahling, her makeup artist, is an expert.

The references? From the controversial Divine, passing through the club kids of the United Kingdom, to the first Shakespearean productions, Chappell Roan's style is nourished by references that we can see in the nightlife of your local city. 80s horror movies have also played an important role in the singer's makeup, who, paraphrasing, wears makeup like this to dignify the insults she received in her adolescence.

Now, her timeless style inspires makeup brands to expand their range of coverages and inks to turn the face into a true canvas. MAC Cosmetics accompanied Andrew Dahling with emblematic products such as the Studio Face And Body Foundation in white and the lip pencils in Wine and Soar tones, as well as the Fix+ Stay Over Alcohol-Free 24HR spray fixers and Studio Fix Powder Plus in powder.

Previously, to achieve a perfect white, you had to look in theatrical makeup stores with heavy and difficult to remove bases. Thanks to the popularity of these trends, it is even easier to find water-resistant products whose combination with fixers and powders ensure a skin finish that will last all night.

Thanks to Chappell Roan, we can see that this trend is not exclusive to the stage. If you want to achieve this look, share with us if you would like me to write a tutorial for you through our Instagram @thewalk.com.mx
