Bimbo Inspired Makeup Look: Step-by-Step Tutorial
Are you ready to transport yourself back to the fun and glamorous era of 2009? In this tutorial, we are going to recreate a bimbo inspired makeup look that was all the rage. From bold brows to intense shimmer, this look is all about embracing the trashy and fabulous side of beauty. So grab your makeup brushes and let's dive into the world of bimbo chic!
1. Introduction
Before we get started, let's take a moment to appreciate the iconic bimbo-inspired looks of the past. Think young Megan Fox and her tadpole-chic brows. These thin, perfectly sculpted brows were a signature of the era and a must-have for any baddie. So, keep this image in mind as we embark on our journey to recreate this glamorous look.
2. Megan Fox's Brow Inspiration
To achieve Megan Fox's signature brows, start by taking a moment to shape and groom your own eyebrows. Pluck any stray hairs and create a thin, arched shape. Remember, the thinner the better. This was the trend back in the day, and we're going all in to capture that bimbo essence.
3. Carving out the Brows
To carve out the tops of your brows and create a clean canvas, apply a foundation shade that matches your skin tone. Avoid using a concealer shade as it may leave a white cast. Pro tip: use an elf putty primer on your forehead before applying the foundation for a seamless blend.
4. Eyeshadow Application
Now it's time to play with some eyeshadow. In true bimbo fashion, we're going for a mix of baby pink and darker pink shades. Go light-handed with your application, as we want a subtle yet glamorous eye look. Some bimbos went overboard with their eye makeup, but we're toning it down for a more wearable approach.
5. Intensifying the Shimmer
Bimbos loved their shimmer, so let's intensify it. Apply a white shimmery shade on your eyelids and even on your eyebrows. Don't be shy, use your fingers and a brush to get the maximum pigment payoff. The goal is to make your eyes sparkle and shine like the true bimbo hotties of the past.
6. Adding Highlighter
Highlighter was a game-changer in the bimbo beauty routine. Apply a champagne-hued highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones and anywhere you want to add an extra glow. Wet and Wild offers a great option that will give you that radiant bimbo glow.
7. Eyeliner Application
For this look, we're keeping it simple with a regular eyeliner. No winged liner here, just a clean and precise line along your lash line. And remember, when it comes to the waterline, stick to an eyeliner pencil. Using a liquid liner on your waterline is a big no-no.
8. Foundation and Concealer
Now that our eyes are popping, let's move on to the foundation. Apply your go-to foundation all over your face, blending it seamlessly with a damp beauty sponge. Pro tip: avoid using the elf camo concealer as it may not blend properly. Opt for a hydrating concealer instead for a flawless finish.
9. Setting the Face
To set your foundation and ensure it lasts all day, use a translucent powder from elf. Be cautious with the amount of powder you use, as too much can make your look appear cakey. We want to avoid that at all costs. Set your face lightly, focusing on the areas where you applied foundation.
10. Bronzer and Blush Application
Bimbos loved to give their face some warmth and color. Apply bronzer lightly, focusing on the areas where the sun naturally hits your face. However, be wary of going overboard like we did in the past. A little goes a long way. And if you're feeling cheeky, add some blush for a touch of rosy radiance.
11. Contouring the Nose
Contouring the nose was a popular technique among bimbos. If you're up for it, grab your contour powder and create a more defined nose shape. However, this step is optional and depends on your personal preferences. Feel free to skip it if you prefer a more natural look.
12. Adding More Shimmer
We can never have enough shimmer! Go back in with your highlighter and apply it to the inner corners of your eyes for an extra pop. Don't be afraid to go all out with the shine. Bimbos were known for their sparkling eyes, and we're here to embrace that.
13. Perfecting the Liner
Throughout the tutorial, keep smudging and refining your eyeliner to your liking. Bimbos loved their liner, and we want to achieve that perfectly smudged and sultry look. Use a small brush or your finger to blend the liner for a smokier effect.
14. Mascara and False Lashes
No bimbo look is complete without luscious, voluminous lashes. Apply a generous coat of mascara to your upper and lower lashes for added drama. And if you really want to take it to the next level, apply some false lashes for that extra oomph.
15. Final Touches
To complete the look, go ham on the highlighter. Apply it to your cheekbones, chin, and forehead area. Bimbos loved to shine, and so should you. Finish off with a setting spray to lock in all the hard work and allow your makeup to stay in place all day. Trust us, this step is a necessity.
16. Lessons Learned
Makeup is all about trial and error. Don't be discouraged if a look doesn't turn out the way you want it to. Embrace the learning experience and use each mistake as an opportunity to grow and improve. Even the most skilled makeup artists are constantly learning new things. So, keep trying and don't give up.
17. Embracing Imperfections
Nobody is perfect, and that's what makes each of us unique. Embrace your imperfections and love yourself for who you are. Don't let the opinions of others bring you down. Remember, you're a baddie and their opinions don't matter. Rock your unique style and let your confidence shine.
18. Dealing with Haters
Unfortunately, haters exist, and they may try to bring you down. But always remember that you are loved, worthy, and amazing just as you are. Don't let their negative opinions dampen your spirits. Their judgment says more about them than it does about you. Stay fierce, stay fabulous, and keep doing you.
