Grunge Makeup 90s look inspired by Courtney Love
★ This was such a fun look for me. I love everything Grunge. I love grunge music, the style and how it reminds me of the 90s.
《Real Grunge isn't Marc Jacobs $2000 shirts, as a band member of Kurts once said. It was how you could wear a $1 t-shirt and holes in your jeans, either bc thats all you can afford or you dont care about showing off.
I believe Kurt Contain and Courtney Love was the face of grunge in the 90s and I just love their style and Courtney's wildness and her makeup! 》
So for the eye makeup- I was inspired by this picture below of Courtney. True Grunge makeup is messy its ment to look slept in. I took MAC Saddle and blended it really high and really low under my eyes. I then put black eyeliner on the top and bottom close to the lash line then smudged out messily. I used a pixi mascara first then curled the lashes and piled more mascara on with an old mascara. You want a little bit of spider lashes. Not too mutch but, if you blob your mascara that just adds to the look.
For the lips- I was trying to find a shade close to hers so, I first stained the lips with just a little bit of Revlon Black Cherry lipstick. Then over top I wore a little MAC Cockney lipstick for that little bit of red.
For skin- I used a Rimmel BB cream that im loving at the moment in the shade light. I did contour my cheekbones to give that sunken in look. I didnt wear any concealor bc I wanted to look like I've been up doing drugs all night. Lol (just kidding) , but I thought it added to this grunge feel. I didnt wear any blush. I did use powder all over for a matte look.
☆I hope you enjoyed this makeup! I love everything about grunge. The shirt im wearing in the photos is a Courtney Love Hole band shirt I found on ebay. My favorite song from the band Hole is Doll Parts.
Thanks for reading! Let me know if you love grunge makeup as much as I do!

ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I love the 90s amd grunge style. Thanks for the lovely comment! :) you're too sweet!
DeleteFYI Kurt's last name is Cobain and that photo is of Brody Dalle, not Courtney Love. I only know this because I'm an old lady who lived through the 90's grunge era. ;) Great tutorial though!
