Futuristic Makeup Looks Inspired by Terminator Genisys

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hofstra chapter.

Looking to turn heads at a party with a fabulous new look? Try some of these futuristic makeup looks inspired by the new movie, TERMINATOR GENISYS, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke. Watch the trailer here and catch the movie in theaters Wednesday, July 1st.

1.  

Use a bright color to create a winged cat eye. Some recommended colors include orange, blue, pink and yellow. Also, to avoid overdoing the look and maintaining the attention at the eyes, keep the complexion bare with a nude lip.

 

2.

For a futuristic style that is sure to brighten your eyes, try this look! Use a blue shadow pen to line your lower lids and bring it out to create a subtle wing. Use a purple shadow below the blue to lightly add contrast. Dab a bit of white eye shadow at the corners of your eyes to make them pop! Lastly use a matte bronze eye shadow on the base of your lids with a slightly darker shade in the crease. To top off your futuristic look, use a plum silver lip color.

 

3.

Ditch the typical smoky eye look and substitute black for shades of purple! Cover your eyelid in a light shade of purple and use darker shades in the crease and below the brow bone. Bring out the color past your eye following the shape of your lower lash line. To add even more drama, use the eye shadow above your brow bone and into the hairline. Place highlighter right above your brow and cheek bone to make this futuristic look pop.

 

4.

Nothing says futuristic or TERMINATOR GENISYS quite like chrome. Cover your lids with a metallic-silver eye shadow. Also, add some to the corners of your eye and your lower lash line. Finish the look by outlining your eyes with a black liquid eyeliner.
