只靠化妆也能过万圣节：Zara Larsson 的 Hello Kitty 妆拆解

Put a Bow on It

The sparkling Sanrio-inspired look is perfect for procrastinators who can't sew.

Halloween is sneaking up frighteningly fast, which means the window for coming up with a genuinely clever costume is closing at an alarming rate. If you keep putting it off, you may soon find yourself sitting listlessly with your makeup bag in your lap, trying to determine whether “I put on extra eyeliner” counts as a costume. If it does come down to a makeup-only Halloween situation, however, Zara Larsson has just handed you a very strong, very adorable option.

For one of Larsson’s shows in Tokyo, makeup artist Sophia Sinot transformed the Allure cover star into a sparkling interpretation of Hello Kitty. The centerpiece—or, in this case, off-centerpiece—is a small but unmistakable bow placed above Larsson’s right eyebrow, filled in with red crystals and outlined in black ones to mimic the Sanrio superstar’s signature accessory in pop-star style.

Sinot gave Larsson’s eyes a wash of frosty white shimmer, extending the pale shadow all the way up to the brows and enveloping the inner corners to serve as a canvas for more crystals. She added three short, black, sparkling whiskers to each cheek, and topped off the tip of Larsson’s nose with a vibrant yet diffused yellow circle.

Her cheeks are flushed with a vivid, shimmering, nearly hot-pink blush that eases up a bit over the bridge of her nose. And considering that Hello Kitty doesn’t have lips, it was dealer’s choice for Sinot, who gave Larsson a glossy, tawny brown look with lots of liner.

The inspiration is particularly fitting for Larsson’s Tokyo shows as Hello Kitty originated in Japan, of course. And there’s something especially fun about Sinot translating such an iconic character into one of her now highly anticipated concert makeup looks—one you can copy for Halloween and actually look like you planned it instead of procrastinating.
