Rapper-singer Doja Cat consistently makes her face (and entire body) a canvas for art. As her looks have everyone talking, the ripple effect of her striking style is redefining the beauty world.
Yes, it’s that deep, and Doja’s confidently sailing into uncharted territory. From happy face brows to squiggly, space-inspired eyes, the “Vegas” singer playfully crafts avant-garde makeup on her own when she isn’t enlisting visionaries, like makeup artist Laurel Charleston, to paint her face for special events, as recent as this year’s Paris Fashion Week.
We think Doja’s creative influence will continue to shatter definitions of what beauty should be in favor of unapologetic experimentation that refuses social norms, allowing makeup to truly shine as an art form.
Here’s our top 5 picks of Doja Cat’s most iconic makeup looks to date, plus easy ways to recreate your favorites.
Look #1:
Doja donned this wavy, white geometric design that covered her entire face and head for the “Vogue World” show at New York Fashion Week. Turn heads by recreating this innovative look with matte white face paint, winged black liner, deep brown lip liner, and a swipe of toffee-colored lipstick.
Look #2:
This is one of the greats from the singer-rapper’s many makeup looks that stole the show at Paris Fashion Week. Replicate the punk power look with a lineup of silver-smokey shadows, black lipstick, and metallic disco dots added to your brows. If you’re feeling extra brash, shave your brows…maybe even document the event on IG Live in true Doja fashion.
Look #3:
The “Kiss Me More” hitmaker wore blue-accented floating liner on the red carpet at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards along with a matching statement necklace and striped set. Begin by creating winged liner, then flick it out toward the end of your brow. Once you’ve created a wing, trace an arc above your eye socket that connects the wing and ends at your tear duct. Add blue cream color accents to the inner and outer corner of your eye. Add a fluffy pair of wispy lashes and a rosy-caramel lip color to finish off the look.
Look #4:
Doja is known for posting her trailblazing makeup, like this metallic green and white look, on Instagram. Get the Grammy-winner’s geometric eyes by applying a high-impact forest green pigment to your lids, then add matte white accents. Apply a champagne gold eyeshadow to your tear ducts. Lay your edges with gel and a spoolie brush.
Look #5:
From one of the songs that started it all, who could forget this turquoise shadow look from the “Say So” music video. Smoke out your lids with an electric teal shadow and top off with a glacial silver shade. Finish off the look with matte, muted apricot lipstick and cream-colored lip gloss.
