What this video covers

This tutorial walks through a grunge-inspired makeup look pairing a bold red halo smokey eye with a muted greige lip. The creator layers multiple eyeshadow shades and a deep black liner to build intensity while keeping the lip neutral and wearable. Brows, bronzer, and blush round out the full-face finish. The result leans into 90s and soft-grunge aesthetics without crossing into full theatrical territory.

Key takeaways

  • A halo eyeshadow technique places red at the center of the lid for dramatic depth
  • Greige lips — blending grey-beige tones — balance the boldness of the red eye
  • Layering two lip liners and two lipsticks creates the precise greige tone
  • Deep black liner intensifies the grunge edge of the overall look
  • The look bridges soft grunge and pastel goth styles, making it versatile for Halloween or everyday edgy wear
