The most iconic looks in movies From Anna Karina in "A Woman is a Woman" to Grace Jones in "A View to a Kill"

Makeup in cinema is much more than just a finishing touch: it's what transforms a character, making them unique and memorable. From the legendary hairstyles and looks of Hollywood stars to the more creative and original ones in modern films, makeup has always played a fundamental role in telling stories and creating unforgettable images. In this article, we will explore some of the most famous cinematic looks, the ones that have struck us the most and continue to inspire today.

Make-up in movies: Blue Eyeshadow

Some people love to focus on the eyes, making them the real stars of their look. With bold eyeliner, intense smokey eyes, or shiny eyeshadows, the gaze immediately grabs attention. This type of makeup is often used in cinema to express strong emotions, power, or seduction, and is the basis for some of the most memorable looks in film history. Our favorite? The one worn by the girls from Daisies (1966): with their playful style, bob haircuts, and fringes, they complete the look with thick eyeliner covering the entire eyelid, similar to the graphic eyeliner seen on Julia Fox. Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls (1995) sports an audacious look with super-long blue false lashes and lots of glitter. Lastly, Elle Fanning's makeup in The Neon Demon is futuristic and a bit unsettling, with graphic eyeliner that elongates the gaze and metallic eyeshadows and glitter that shine under the cold lights, perfect for her mysterious character.
