On Tiktok, the fashion for “Tired Girl Make-Up” is a box. The principle: voluntarily display a dull complexion, marked dark circles and an exhausted air … as if fatigue had become a beauty accessory.
A look inspired by Jenna Ortega
This amazing trend seems directly influenced by Jenna Ortega’s style in the series Wednesday.
Eyeliner voluntarily blurred, ruffled hair, assumed dark circles … This makeup cultivates a cleverly worked disorder.
The make-up artist Nirvana Jalalvand, head of the actress’s metamorphosis, does not hesitate to accentuate certain details-such as XXL dark circles-to create this neglected-chic effect. She also revealed behind the scenes in a video.
The mannequin Baggriette, followed by deliberately dull dyed and black pencil strokes under the eyes, would also have helped popularize this style. Result: the phenomenon has turned into a real viral trend on social networks.
The codes of the “exhausted” look
To reproduce this makeup, the followers rely on dark tones: black and dark gray around the eyes, accompanied by a lipstick terra cotta or burgundy.
The contrast gives a unique look, between elegance and chaos. A beauty qualified as “morbid”, where imperfection becomes an assumed aesthetic.
A tendency that divides
If this style illustrates a desire to claim imperfection, it does not appeal to everyone.
On Tiktok, some women – especially mothers – publish videos of them really exhausted to denounce the absurdity of wanting to “imitate fatigue”.
Conversely, other Internet users are finally delighted to be “trends” and wear their dark circles with pride.
What if it was the perfect disguise for Halloween?
Halfway between the grunge look and the Gothic style, the “Tired Girl Make-Up” could well establish itself as an idea of simple, economical makeup … and terribly in the air to celebrate Halloween.
