Pop sensation Chappell Roan has risen to superstardom, consistently serving unapologetic, campy glam with her signature drag-inspired makeup alongside her synth-pop beats. If you're feeling her vibe and want to pull off a Chappell Roan makeup look without ending up like you’re heading straight to the stage, you’re in the right place. Here’s a beginner-friendly, wearable version of Chappell Roan makeup tutorial for your next night out, brunch date, or gala with friends.
First, gently exfoliate with POND’S Bright Miracle Ultimate Pore Clear Facial Scrub to sweep away dead skin cells, control oil, and help clear blackheads. This facial wash also removes up to 99% acne-causing bacteria, so your skin feels fresh and clean. Follow with POND’S Bright Miracle Day Cream Detox to deeply hydrate, fade dark spots, and bring out your radiant glow. With a well-prepped base, the colors of your look will pop even more vividly.
While Chappell sometimes rocks a dramatic white base, you won’t need it for this wearable version. Instead, reach for a lightweight foundation or skin tint that evens out your complexion and lets your skin breathe. Spot-conceal where needed using a small brush or your fingertip, then blend using a damp beauty sponge – dab, don’t swipe – for a second-skin finish.
Chappell loves an exaggerated blush, but for an IRL look, go for a creamy peach or rosy pink shade. Apply it generously on the apples of your cheeks and blend it upwards to your temples for that lifted, fresh-faced vibe. For extra glow, dab a subtle highlighter on your cheekbones and nose bridge.
Chappell Roan makeup looks often include bold, pastel eyeshadows in lavender, baby blue, or mint green. To keep it wearable, choose only one pastel shade and sweep it across your lids. Add depth by blending a slightly darker shade into the crease. If you want an even subtler look, a soft metallic liner (gold or silver) can also give you that Chappell vibe effortlessly.
If you’re feeling a little extra (a.k.a. channeling your inner drag queen), draw a soft wing or experiment with a negative space liner. Outline a classic wing shape (or any shape you want), but instead of filling it in completely, leave the center or a section of the shape blank. Keep the lines clean and minimal to keep it suitable for an everyday Chappel Roan makeup look.
Chappell’s drag-inspired makeup isn’t complete without big, bold lashes. Go for fluffy falsies if you’re comfortable wearing them or simply curl your natural lashes and apply two coats of volumizing mascara for a more everyday-friendly finish.
Chappell’s looks range from glossy nude lips to intense berry shades. For daytime wear, try a tinted lip balm or a gloss in pink or coral. For nighttime drama (or if you’re feeling that Main Character Energy), swipe on a deep plum or a bold red lipstick.
To give your look an unmistakable Chappell Roan makeup detail, add small rhinestones around your eyes, play with faux freckles, or slick on a clear gloss over your lids. These little extras aren’t mandatory, but they’ll have you living out that “Pink Pony Club” energy in no time.
To keep your look fresh (even in the Philippines’ humidity), finish with a setting spray or lightly dust translucent face powder on your T-zone. This last step ensures your Chappell Roan makeup won’t budge all day.
Now that you’ve nailed the basics of how to do Chappell Roan makeup, wear it with confidence. Her aesthetic celebrates individuality and playfulness, so tweak these steps to suit your mood or personality. As a final tip: Play her funky, electro-pop tunes to get you in the zone as you create your own version of Chappel Roan makeup!
