Sex Kitten Makeup

Who doesn’t want to look like a kitten? Pouty, mysterious and effortlessly cool? The look is all about killer eyes, rounded lips and a devious smirk. There's a delicate balance you have to strike--can't be too cute, but can't be too harsh either. Here's how you get it.

Base

Let the skin peak through, lean towards a satiny finish with a skin tint or a light/med coverage foundation stick. Ideally under eyes are bare to let the dark circles peak through, but adding concealer is fine too.

Face

Blush should be lightly applied, but ideally a soft berry or pink color. Don’t “snatch” the face but apply on the fullness of the cheeks. Remember we aren't going seductive wild cat, but mischievous and sweet kitten.

Brows

Keep the brows thin, bonus point's if they're lightened. They don't have to be bleached blonde but should be your skin tone or lighter. If you have that cherry cola hair color, use Nyx Powder Louder Brow Pencil in Black Cherry. Fill them in to be straighter with a slight arch for that slightly surprised and devious look.

Eyes

While its tempting to darken the whole eye and do a sharp wing if you want a real kittenish look, avoid completely closing up the upper and lower lash, instead darken the inner corner (keep it rounded not sharp) and thicken the outer corner for a shorter, sharp wing, if you have round eyes make top of the wing slightly downturned before flicking upward. When lining the lower lash line, keep it under the lashes. Mascara and lashes should be primarily applied to the outer corner. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Liner in Perversion is best for a super dark and creamy liner. If you want to dress it up more, apply a brown shadow or a bronzer to the crease.

Lips

Outline your lips with a grey or cool brown liner, (Mac Stone or Chestnut) focus mostly on the cupids bow and really define it. Don’t completely round the top lip. When lining the bottom lip keep it softer. Fill in the lips with a nude close to your skin tone (Essence 8H Matte Liquid Lipstick in Silky Hazelnut). If you want a darker lip, use a berry or black liner ( Mac Caviar or Nightmoth) and follow the same steps above, then fill in with a blotted berry/plum color or a greyish-brown gloss like Mac Bittersweet Me.

A Guide to Bubblegum Coquette

Bubblegum Coquette is the ultra girly sugary sweet subcategory of coquette. The 2010s iteration took much inspiration from the 80s: loves baby soft, molly ringwald and teen witch reigned supreme. But as time has gone on it has gone to include influences from gyaru fashion, 90s and early 00s mcbling, sanrio and playboy. 

This style is an effortless blend of childhood nostalgia and girlish sexuality.

Color Palette

Pastels: pinks, blues and purples are the most popular with pink unsurprisingly reigning supreme

Other vibrant colors you may see are orange and yellow (often paired with pink) anything candy colored and vibrant is key to the bubblegum coquette look

Patterns and Details

Bubblegum Coquette doesn't include many patterns but that doesn't mean you cant wear them. Polka dots and animal print like zebra or cheetah/leopard can be added for some extra flourish.

Tops

Baby tees are normally the go-to. They don't have to be completely cropped, just in a more form fitting design. Look for vintage graphic tee's with brands like blow pops, love's baby soft or johnson's & johnson's. Old school cartoons are also super cute especially those from the 80s like Jem and the Holograms.

For non graphic tee's tube tops are great during the summer as well as halter tops especially crochet.

For a more modest look or during colder months go for long sleeve thermals or sweaters in the aforementioned colors, and if you can/want to add a little flare go for an off the shoulder top.

Bottoms

For jeans, look for true flare or bootcut jeans if you prefer a looser fit. But if you want to go full 2010s does 80s bubblegum coquette throwback, instead look for pastel skinny jeans.

Denim skirts are a staple, add some shine to them by bedazzling them in rhinestones on the pockets in your fav designs! Ruffle skirts are also an amazing item to have.

Look for matching tracksuits in both the skirt and jogging pants varieties especially baby phat, rocawear or juicy couture.

High waisted shorts as well!! Those are great for a throwback look (try to find a pair of yellow smiley face ones, trust me) but if you dont like that cut, go for mid to lowrise shorts. Keep the wash mid to light wash or in pastel colors.

Hosiery

Knee high socks and slouch socks are a must. Keep them in pastel or just go for a plain white. It's also good to have at least two pairs of regular tights (white and baby pink).

For an edgier look, go for white or baby pink fishnets.

Dresses

Go for tube top dresses or babydoll dresses. Keep them dainty and cute in the standard colors. You can keep these simple as the accessories really do it. Halter dresses are also great for the summer.

Shoes

Believe it or not bubblegum coquette was arguably the simplest when it came to shoes, sticking to high top converse in pink, white and yellow and the occasional jelly shoe. You can also include platform flip flops into the mix, but bubble gum coquettes are always very active and energetic girls so keep the shoes comfy.

Accessories

The kitschier the better! Hot topic has fun and girly earrings and necklaces. And always hit up Claire's for your ultra girly accessories, always keep a tattoo choker (bonus points if its ombre or has different charms!)

Speaking of charms, charm bracelets or friendship bracelets you attach charms to are always cute.

Mini purses and backpacks are perfect for going between more dressy occasions to everyday running around.

Makeup

Keep the eyes open and bright with lots of mascara. Sparkle/shimmer eyeshadow and eyeshadow in pastel colors are also a fun touch. Brown eyeliner is less harsh than black but that doesnt mean you cant wear black liner! Look for nude (or white) liner for the waterline. Pink also looks cute on the waterline.

Keep lips and cheeks pink/coral/orange depending on your skin and its undertones. The glossier the better for the lips! But soft blurred lips like those provided from korean makeup never looks bad.

Fragrances

Keep it sweet, fruity and a little fresh. You can always go for the bubblegum coquette classic Pink Sugar, but scents like Clinique Happy Heart, Victoria's Secret Bombshell also smell amazing. My favorite budget option is Vera Wang Princess its fresh and fruity with a little chocolate undertone. And don't forget the bubblegum coquette staple Love's Baby Soft

The 2000s community online is so white and white washed like mcbling was started by black and brown people yet they never mention black or brown celebs or black music/fashion unless it’s someone like Nicki or Beyoncé
