Bold colors, dramatic eyeliner, and glitter that screams confidence.
Equal parts David Bowie and GLOW (that’s Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling), these scintillating glam-rock makeup looks are not for the faint of heart. They’re sure to get you noticed, whether you’re dancing up a storm in a club or grooving in an outdoor music festival. Think long, flowing hair à la Robert Plant, enough eyeliner to make Debbie Harry proud and sexy, glistening skin like Liberty Belle.
LUCID DREAMS
Part-Woodstock goddess, part-Pop Rocks in Blue Razz—let your indie spirit character take center stage. Elevate your monochromatic makeup with a touch of dazzling blue on the inner corners of your eye, and a sweeping of iridescent highlighter on key points of your face.

MYSTIC MIRROR
Create hair envy-inducing volume and shine by treating your tresses to a deep conditioning hair mask before styling with a 1.5” curling iron.
[br]
FLASH DELIRIUM
Wear a nebula-like sheen by lightly pressing glitter pigments on top of your pearly purple and steel blue eyeshadow, and on your glossed lips.

GOOD CURL
Pair it with piece-y, lived-in waves that can be achieved with a 1.25” curling iron and a spritzing of texturizing spray. For that extra tousle, casually headbang to your psychedelic rock playlist.

Frequently Asked Questions
A glam-rock makeup look combines bold color, dramatic eyeliner, glitter and glistening skin. These looks take cues from David Bowie, Debbie Harry and the wrestling series GLOW, using monochrome makeup, blue accents, iridescent highlighter and glitter pigments for clubs or music festivals.
Lightly press glitter pigments on top of pearly purple and steel blue eyeshadow, and on glossed lips, for a nebula-like sheen. Pressing, rather than sweeping, keeps the glitter in place and the effect controlled. The look is called Flash Delirium in this shoot.
Add a touch of bright blue to the inner corners of the eyes and sweep iridescent highlighter on key points of the face. In the Lucid Dreams look, these accents elevate monochromatic makeup with a Woodstock-inspired, indie feel, without changing the base palette.
Treat hair to a deep conditioning mask before styling, then curl it with a 1.5-inch curling iron for volume and shine, as in the Mystic Mirror look. For piece-y, lived-in waves, use a 1.25-inch iron and texturizing spray, as in the Good Curl look.
