Ariana Grande is known for her iconic look – high ponytail, cat-eye liner, and a nude lip. Her makeup artist, Ashley K Holm, has revealed some of her tips and tricks for achieving Ariana’s signature style.
Prep your skin
Before applying any makeup, it’s important to prep your skin. Ashley recommends starting with a moisturizer to hydrate your skin. She also suggests using a primer to create a smooth base for your makeup.
Focus on the eyes
The key to achieving Ariana’s cat-eye look is all in the eyeliner. Ashley uses a gel liner and a small angled brush to create a precise wing. She suggests starting at the outer corner of the eye and drawing a line towards the end of your brow. Then, connect the wing to the lash line and fill in any gaps.
For the lashes, Ashley recommends using individual false lashes to create a natural and fluttery look. She also suggests curling your lashes before applying mascara to open up your eyes.
Keep it simple on the lips
Ariana is known for her signature nude lip, and Ashley keeps it simple by using a nude lip liner and a sheer gloss. It’s important to choose a lip liner that complements your skin tone and apply it all over your lips. Then, apply a sheer gloss to add shine and hydration.
Finish with a high ponytail
No Ariana Grande look is complete without her high ponytail. Ashley recommends using a hair tie that matches your hair color and teasing the crown of your head for extra volume. Then, gather your hair into a ponytail and secure it tightly with the hair tie.
With these tips from Ariana’s makeup artist, you can achieve her iconic look in no time. Remember to prep your skin, focus on the eyes, keep it simple on the lips, and finish with a high ponytail. Happy glamming!
