5 Makeup Looks to Complement Blonde Hair

If it's your first time rocking bleached blonde hair, you might find yourself wondering what makeup styles best suit your new do. Luckily for you, blonde hair goes well with just about anything!

From edgy eye makeup to classier and neater creations, here are five of our favourite beauty looks that complement lighter locks. 

Of course, with edgier makeup styles, we look to actual rock and pop icons like Sky Ferreira, Blackpink's Lisa, Halsey, and Miley Cyrus. Our biggest tip to acing this bold look? Not being afraid to go all out with the layering of your black eyeshadow and liner. For a messier, more carefree look, use your fingers to blend and smudge the product around your eye. Pair the look with a pink or red shade of lipstick, and you're good to go!

Barbiecore has practically taken over every 2022 trend – and it's all thanks to Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' movie coming out next year. There are two different versions of the Barbiecore beauty look: A more obvious pink shimmer like Doja Cat's and a soft Chanel-esque pink hue as seen on Sydney Sweeney. To make the most of both styles, having a good base is key to ensuring your pink shadows and fine glitters stand out. 

One word to describe this look? Marilyn. Trust us when we say it takes a lot of skill in order to succeed in this vision – as Adele and Sydney Sweeney's makeup artists can attest to. Every product has to be carefully applied with precise strokes of a brush or applicator; eyeliner needs to be sharp and catty, with cheekbones contoured and blush brushed on high. A look that will exude class when done right. 

You can't go wrong with the "Clean Girl Aesthetic". Get inspired by stars Hilary Duff and Florence Pugh and take it down a notch this summer. To nail the look, opt for subtle makeup like concealer, mascara, light blush, and nude lipstick. The goal is to come out looking as if you've done nothing to your face when you've really just lightly emphasised certain parts of it. It also helps to wear pastel or earth colours when complementing this style of makeup. 

Lastly, go wild with colour. Just like for darker, black hair, striking eye makeup is the look to opt for if you want to stand out from a crowd. If you have the lid space for it, a cut crease is always a safe bet to showcase a multitude of hues. Alternatively, underline your eyes with colourful eyeliner or eyeshadow.
