No One Does Moonlit Vamp Like Jenna Ortega

Ortega was one of the best dressed stars at the 77th Emmy Awards, and her makeup was noteworthy, too. She has really been making a case for bleached brows, which paired well with a subtle pop of blue on the lids (and a smokey black eyeshadow on the undereye), voluminous lashes and a vampy lip. Thankfully, her go-to makeup artist Melanie Inglessis shared her full product breakdown, so you can recreate the look right at home.

ICYMI: Grunge makeup is back and Ortega is living proof. Her signature bleach brows and smokey eyes were present at the Wednesday Graveyard Gala, but it was the rising trend of spider lashes, bronzy cheeks to emphasize her sculpted cheekbones and wet locks that made her a total rockstar. Her natural freckles were also a great focal point as the MUA chose to keep her base as light as possible for them to really poke through. 

When she wasn’t wearing berry lips and dark contour, she was sporting some peachy cheeks and a ‘90s-inspired lip combo. Invest in a dark liner to complement your natural lip line and a neutral blush shade to offer a natural glow. Makeup aside, she kept her hair pretty simple and let her curtain bangs be the center of attention. 

I’m not surprised that Ortega went all out for the Wednesday global premiere. Thanks to her go-to MUA Inglessis, the actress went with a shimmery gray color on the lids and plum eyeshadow at the brow bone, as well as spider lashes and a bold burgundy lip. Since her makeup and fashion look were the stars of the show, her hair took a backseat with a long low pony.

The Scream IV star turned heads with her impressive kiss curls, a popular hairstyle that was everywhere this summer along with flipped ends. She paired it with an elongated cat eye, rosy cheeks and ‘90s lined lips.

Ortega nailed the Met Gala with her Balmain metal ruler dress, shimmery makeup and Hollywood waves. The iridescent eye look featured a mix of gold, rose and purple eyeshadow, along with feathery lashes and a blurred out cat eye. She also sported a glass skin base with a golden highlighter and chiseled cheeks. And let’s not forget her brown lip and flowing mermaid waves. 

The You star is known for her smokey eyes, but she scaled back and played around with her eyeliner for the Death of a Unicorn private screen. She sported double winged eyeliner, extending the line on the upper and lower lash line for a daring look. She kept the rest of the makeup look neutral with a flush of blush and a nude lip. 

On the rare occasion that Ortega doesn’t sport dark eyeshadow and a bold lip, she is showing off her tinted brows and gorgeous black locks. According to Inglessis, she was going for a ‘90s vibe. Her glossy bold hair color shines through, as well as her sculpted cheekbones, defined brows and peachy pout. 

Ortega painted the town red at the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice red carpet. Her whole makeup look was entirely red, from her bold lipstick to her rosy cheeks. Her all-over red eye is what drew me in and made it a great homage to Wiyona Ryder’s character in the first film.
