The Viral Makeup Hack To Get Wednesday Addams' Edgy Look

Posted by Valentine Belue on Tuesday, May 21, 2024

"Wednesday" makeup designer Tara McDonald spoke with Glamour where she revealed the ideation process to come up with the character's iconic look. "In keeping with 'The Addams Family,' Wednesday was always going to be goth, but it was also very important for it not to be too gothic — it was more like a glossy goth," McDonald told Glamour. "I would always describe Morticia as a 'glossy goth,' and Wednesday as more of a 'soft goth.'"

The show's release coincided with Tiktok's latest obsession: dark balmy lips inspired by the goth aesthetic. Tiktok makeup content creator @molchanovamua posted a video where she mixes clear lip gloss with black mascara to obtain a dark gloss. While the product combination has been criticized by multiple users, some other makeup artists are loving the trend, including @mimiermakeup who tried it and loved the results. If you don't want to destroy your mascara and clear lipgloss for the sake of this trend, here are some alternatives.
