Final week, we clocked some not-so-subtle messaging from singer and make-up entrepreneur Ariana Grande—and this morning, her new single “Sure, And?” hit YouTube. All through the closely hinted video, Grande rocked a singular eyeliner look that places a contemporary twist on the ‘60s-inspired flick she’s rocked for years. 

“This form and elegance is so graphic and daring,” says make-up artist Michael Anthony, who has labored with Grande to create variations of this magnificence search for different movies and shoots (Hung Vanngo was the make-up artist on set for the “Sure, And?” video). “There are such a lot of iterations of the model, and it’s numerous enjoyable to play with completely different configurations.” Beforehand, Grande has worn a thick white model for her “34 35” video and a extra ethereal model in a R.E.M. Magnificence marketing campaign. 

Right here’s how Anthony has beforehand created the look with Grande:

First, you want the proper instruments. Anthony “bought positive liner paint brushes from the artwork provide retailer, and makes use of them with liquid liners and eye paints” to get that very outlined, graphic line. However earlier than he goes in with the daring liner, he begins by “sketching the form with a nude pencil which follows the pure curves of the attention, aiming for simply above the crease of the eyelid so you do not lose any of the road when the eyes are open.” 

After that, hint on prime along with your statement-making liner of alternative, then use Q-tips dipped in Chanel’s Demaquillant Yeux Intense Mild Bi-Section Eye Make-up Remover (Anthony calls it “an ideal eraser”) for the clear up. 

After a summer season of chasing a red-lipped pop star, we’re glad to have a graphic eye so as to add into the combo.
