Riot girl hair and makeup: 6 Beauty Panel tips for embracing your rebellious side

by FASHION Staff October 3, 2013

Eyes are getting some serious kohl treatment, hair is left unkempt and the darker the lipstick, the better. Or at least that’s what happens when fall’s riot girl trend takes over our beauty routines—and we’re totally on board. The minimalist no-makeup look has its time and place, but there’s something so liberating about smudging eyeliner into messy shapes and embracing our rebellious side.

Thanks to this year’s punk-themed MET Gala, our favourite stars gave us a plethora of moody beauty looks to take inspiration from. Wearing the most daring deep shades of lipstick, Rooney Mara and Katy Perry were the epitome of sultry. Taylor Swift was all about the eyes, wearing top and bottom-heavy liner. And Kristen Stewart swapped out her signature charcoal smoky eye for a burgundy look worthy of Gucci. The message is clear: Get ready to reach for all the deep-toned makeup palettes in your arsenal when trying the riot girl trend!

Our Beauty Panel stepped up to the challenge of channeling their rebellious side through inventive beauty looks. Emily Chan of This Was Forever used Lily Collins’ MET Gala look as inspiration and changed up her eyebrows with graphic details. Stephanie Lau of Fun Size Beauty created a look that is perfect for those who prefer subtle makeup and are still warming up to the punk look. And Anjali Handa of Rock That Look gave the roots of her minimally curled hair a little shake to create an effortlessly disheveled style.
