So, I kept seeing pictures of Harry Styles, you know? The guy’s everywhere. And yeah, the music’s alright, but what really got me curious was the makeup. Not like, full-on drag or anything, just subtle stuff sometimes, other times a bit bolder. Eyeliner, bit of shimmer, painted nails. It looked pretty cool, effortless on him. Made me think, could I pull something like that off? Or maybe just, what’s it like?
Getting Started
Decided I’d give it a shot. Not aiming to look like him, more just exploring the vibe. First step was figuring out what I’d even need. Dug through my partner’s makeup bag – found some basic eyeliner, a neutral eyeshadow palette, nothing too wild. Didn’t want to go out and buy a bunch of stuff just for an experiment, you know? Seemed wasteful. I did grab some dark nail polish though, that felt like a key part of the look I’d seen in photos.
The Process – Fumbling Around
Alright, so I sat down in front of the mirror. Felt a bit weird, honestly. Haven’t really messed with makeup much before, aside from maybe some concealer on a bad spot.
- Eyeliner: Tried the pencil liner first. Watched a quick video online beforehand, looked easy enough. It wasn’t. My hand was shaky, the line was wobbly. Tried to do that little flick thing at the corner? Disaster. Smudged it out a bit to make it look intentional, like a ‘smoky eye’ attempt. Looked more like I hadn’t slept in days. Gave up on the flick.
- Eyeshadow: Dabbed a bit of a shimmery beige color on the lids. That was easier. Just used my finger. Added a tiny bit of definition, I guess. Nothing dramatic.
- Nails: This felt less intimidating. Painting nails is painting nails. Put on some newspaper, carefully applied a dark blue polish. Got some on my skin, cleaned it up with a cotton swab. Took ages to dry. Waved my hands around like an idiot for a while.
Looking in the Mirror
So, the final look? Well. The eyeliner was definitely… a choice. A bit messy, not quite the sharp look Styles often has. The eyeshadow was barely noticeable, which was probably for the best. The nails, though? They looked kinda cool, actually. A bit chipped already because I’m impatient, but still.
Overall thoughts? It was interesting. Applying makeup takes practice, way more than I thought. Respect to people who do it well every day. The eyeliner felt a bit heavy on my eyes, wasn’t used to it. The nail polish was fine, just have to remember not to absent-mindedly pick at it.
It didn’t feel like some massive transformation or anything. Just felt like me, with slightly smudged eyes and blue nails. Was it fun? Yeah, kinda. A bit frustrating, but trying something new usually is. Would I do it again? Maybe the nail polish. The eyeliner needs serious work, or maybe just isn’t for me. Glad I tried it though, satisfied my curiosity. It’s just stuff you put on your face or nails, end of the day. No big mystery.
