Skincare is perhaps the most lucrative category in the beauty industry, with www.statista.com/ stating that it makes up around 40% of the global market. From eye cream to moisturizer, women and men alike take care of their skin on a daily basis. Most people stick to what they know when it comes to makeup, so they follow skincare with a dab of concealer and a hint of mascara. But makeup is an artform and you can have fun with it too. Whether you’re going for lunch with the girls or painting the town red, your makeup looks will somewhat vary. Yet, there are much more dramatic ways you can style your makeup. Here, we will specifically look at how your favourite games can inspire your makeup look.

Clue

One of the few board games that includes characters, Clue can inspire your makeup look in several ways, from the natural face of Mrs. Peacock to the red lipstick of Miss Scarlett. It doesn’t come as a surprise that these looks could be used when attending virtual Murder Mystery nights, which have become increasingly popular over the years. MAC is renowned for having lipsticks that are both smooth and long-lasting, which means that you can find your perfect shade to act as Miss Scarlett for the evening on their website https://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/. With a range of different shades of red, opting for a deeper colour would go a long way to fit into the mysterious theme, perfect for guessing whodunnit.

Online Casino

There are two ways that you can go here – either you choose the dramatic look often worn in casinos as demonstrated by characters in films like James Bond, which you can see at https://www.thegentlemansjournal.com/, or you can opt for a quirkier look by using your favourite slot machine as your inspiration. For the former, take inspiration from the film Casino Royale where female characters can be seen wearing a dramatic smoky eye with bold red lipstick. Paired with a figure-hugging ball gown, this look would be perfect when attending a glamorous ball.

As for the latter look, stray away from opulence and turn to eccentric, perhaps more suited to a themed event that requires a pop of colour, like 80’s dress, a games night, or a festival. Using https://ca.fruitkings.com/ as inspiration with their plethora of bonuses on slot machines like Starburst and Treasure Mine, it’s easy to see that slot machines are renowned for their extensive colour palette. For your slot machine inspired makeup look, think neon eyeliner and bright pink lipstick. If you wanted to tailor your look to a particular online casino game like Roulette, then once again, colours can be your main inspiration, keeping with the theme of black and red.

Mario Kart

So, we’ve covered a board game and an online game, now we’re onto classic console games. Unlike the balls, festivals, and games nights we’ve previously mentioned that would suit your game inspired makeup look, this look would be much more suited to a themed-party, much like Halloween. Taking a look at https://www.nintendo.com/ and Mario Kart’s two staple characters, Mario and Luigi, all you need is a splash of red and green, and if you really want to go all out, a dab of eyeliner can be used to create a moustache. If you are a huge Mario Kart fan, and just want to use the colours to inspire your make up look, use green eyeliner and that red lip.

So, there you have it, using your favourite game to inspire your make up look can create an authentic or quirky look that can be used for any occasion.
