Many girls dream of doing makeup like Taylor Momsen. It looks very catchy and stylish, especially with rock-style clothes, characteristic of the direction in which this Hollywood rebel works. After all, she is known to many as a rock singer, guitarist, model and one of the most prominent actresses in the foreign youth series “Gossip Girl.” But the commercial for John Galliano’s “Tell Me About Love” eau de toilette, released in 2010, brought her even greater fame, in which the actress vividly demonstrated her style and signature Panda eyes makeup. Therefore it is not surprising that this eau de toilette sold in huge quantities, including in Russia, and Taylor Momsen’s style became the ideal of beauty for many modern girls, especially fans of the rock style, both in music and in the manner of dressing and makeup.
Features of Taylor Momsen's make-up

This makeup is called Panda-eyes because of its resemblance to the eyes of a panda. This make-up will look beautiful with any rock-style outfits, but it is not suitable for every girl. For those who have close-set eyes, low eyebrows, slight squint, or deep-set eyes with drooping outer corners, makeup in the style of Taylor Momsen will not be suitable. But it will look great on light-eyed girls, especially those who look like this Hollywood star.

You can do it yourself if you have charcoal eyeliner, black and dark brown matte eye shadow, black mascara and natural lip gloss in your makeup bag.

In it you can see how to do make-up Panda eyes step by step, then step by step start doing makeup in the style of Taylor Momsen at home in front of the mirror. The creation scheme is quite simple.
Stage one. Preparing your face for Panda eyes makeup
- Conceal dark circles and dark circles under your eyes with any corrective product that suits you.
- Apply a light foundation in a natural shade or powder with a mattifying effect all over your face. It is important that the face is very light, but not pale or sallow.
Stage two. Make-up eyes
- Line your eyes with black pencil or eyeliner, slightly lifting the outer corners of your eyes. The eyeliner should be of medium thickness and rich black.
- Apply dark brown shadow to the inner corner of the eye and blend it towards the middle of the eyelids.
- Gently line the outer corner of the lower eyelid with black shadow and blend it a little. Do the same on the upper eyelid of the outer corner of the eyes.
- On the crease between the eyelids, apply black eyeshadow just above the line of brown eyeshadow, and blend it towards the middle. They should resemble a very thick black eyeliner.
- Highlight the outer corners of the eyes with black shadows and blend them towards the middle of the eyelid, and try to connect them with the opposite line.
- Strengthen the line with black shadows. Apply them to the middle of the upper eyelid and blend towards the outer and inner corners of the eyes.

Outwitting a man is not so easy. Problem skin, enlarged pores and dark bags under the eyes will sooner or later make themselves known, despite several layers of correctors, concealer and foundation. Naturalness is everything to us, so a foundation that evens out the color and texture of your skin should not be conspicuous. BB and CC creams do an excellent job of this task: they adapt to the skin tone and mask imperfections. A natural blush, neatly emphasized cheekbones and a few touches of highlighter will give your face a fresh and rested look. By the way, we don’t recommend getting carried away with contouring - makeup remover products will still dot the i’s.
Eyes
The smoky eyes we love, alas, are not always liked by the opposite sex - and for good reason. The wrong technique for shading pencil and eye shadow can result in “panda makeup”—sloppy dark spots around the eyes. In addition, men are wary of girls who get carried away decorative cosmetics bright, provocative colors. In order not to scare off your companion, we recommend that you refrain from experimenting with bright red, yellow, emerald, turquoise, blue and purple eyeshadow- it is better to opt for a natural palette in light brown, soft pink, peach shades. If you are a master at drawing arrows, highlight the lash line with liquid eyeliner or a black or dark brown marker.
Lips
Opinions differ on this issue: some are delighted with red lipstick, others prefer nude. The ideal solution is a lipstick-balm with a tint pigment. It will not only highlight the natural color of the lips, but will also help avoid beauty failure: such a product will not be imprinted on the glass, teeth and chin, and will not get caught in the folds on the lips and in the corners of the mouth.
Brows
No matter how masterful your makeup is, poorly designed eyebrows can ruin everything. Wide, carelessly styled eyebrows, roughly drawn with a dark pencil, look as ridiculous as “strings”. It is enough, without darkening the base, to emphasize the natural curve of the eyebrows, highlight the “tail” with shadows or a pencil one tone darker natural color hair and fix the result with transparent gel.
Let's summarize. Here's what can ruin the first impression of you:
- a dense foundation that deprives the skin of its natural radiance and creates a mask effect on the face;
- aggressive contouring;
- abuse of blush;
- a clear difference in color between the eyebrows and hair roots;
- excess shimmer, due to which the face resembles an oily pancake;
- uneven, thick lines of arrows with unpointed tips;
- shadows in rich shades of blue, green and purple;
- eyelashes that look like spider legs under a layer of mascara;
- lipstick too dark;
- “sticky” lips effect.
Your main task is to highlight your strengths and disguise your shortcomings. To please the stronger sex, do not try to stand out from the crowd with bright “war paint” - men prefer girls with moderate, barely noticeable makeup.
The star, going to The Moth Ball in New York, clearly imagined herself as a miner in the face. A glamorous miner. Eyes outlined with jet-black shadows, pale pink lipstick and highlighter all over the face - what is a witch from a Hollywood movie? Tyra, you've confused the annual literary event with Halloween! Next time, read the invitation card carefully - everything is written there about the format.
Mischa Barton: tired carrot
Mischa Barton has not had any truly high-profile projects for a long time; her name appears in magazines only in connection with scandals. Most likely, this is why the actress decided to attract the attention of journalists at the Marc Cain show with the help of very bad makeup. At least some variety in the headlines.
Brown shadows that seemed to be applied with a finger, a strange black eyeliner that spread across the lower eyelid, and vague carrot-red lipstick added age to Misha and disfigured his face.
Leighton Meester: Moth
When Leighton Meester starred in the TV series “Gossip Girl” in 2009, everyone associated the star with her character - the stylish, sophisticated and arrogant Blair Waldorf. Imagine the surprise of fans when they saw Leighton at the American Eagle Outfitters party.
It seemed like she was doing makeup for the first time in my life and decided to apply the entire contents of the cosmetic bag to her face, and chose the brightest and not too compatible shades. It's hard to imagine a tougher combination than purple eyeshadow all over the eyelid, gold eyeliner and red lipstick.
Miley Cyrus as Angelina Vovk
Everything about the singer's Billboard Award look is bad: a bouffant hairstyle, overly active eyebrows, sticky eyelashes and a complete absence of lips, which the singer literally erased with pale pink lipstick. Miley, we know you can do better!
Angelina Jolie: straight from cooking class
This photo of Angelina Jolie from 2014 is still being circulated in the media. “Look, she showed up at the premiere of The Normal Heart with some strange white spots on her face,” the journalists emphasize.
Guys, calm down! These are not strange painful spots, but... The fact is that four years ago beauty companies did not sell products for red carpets and selfies (now there are such products, and they are labeled “HD”).
The loose highlighters that makeup artists used to contour the face looked fine in normal light, but under camera flashes, thanks optical effect turned into white spots.
We can say that this was a mistake made by the makeup artists, because in those years not only Angelina, but a number of Hollywood stars appeared with white spots on her face.
Kristen Stewart: red eyes
Kristen Stewart is a true rebel who doesn't want to continue to be associated with Bella from the Twilight saga. But thanks to her beauty experiments, the actress herself invites comparison with vampires. Take this look for one of the parties at the Cannes Film Festival. Red shadows that create the effect of bloodshot eyes, a complete absence of lips and pale skin - why not a vampire?
Kim Kardashian: flowerbed eyes
Kim was caught walking in Vegas wearing this war paint. The photo shows that the star has several layers on her face. foundation plus tough, and all with dark eyebrows, super long eyelashes and cherry lipstick.
Sharon Stone: extinct star
The one person we didn't expect to fail in makeup was the stylish and graceful Sharon. It seems that the actress literally got into the spirit of the Sundance Film Festival and decided to go all out. Dark shadows, pale lips and a strange look not only look vulgar, but also add ten years to Sharon.
Drew Barrymore: if you put on makeup in the dark
Now Drew has started acting less in films and has completely switched to business: she runs the Flower Cosmetics brand. Barrymore tests each new product of the brand on herself. Surely this is what explains the strange makeup of the actress with yellow eye shadow and plum lipstick.
If these shades are correctly combined in a certain palette and makeup concept, perhaps they will look beautiful. But not in a mix like Barrymore's. Drew, don't do that again!
Christina Aguilera: lips in a bow, eyebrows in a house, breasts in pockets
Christina has been accused more than once of lack of taste. Either she chose a strange ensemble of clothes, or her hair was not right, or there was too much makeup.
Here, perhaps, we will join the experts. Just look at Christina’s latest makeup creation from 2018. The strange shape of the eyebrows gives a grimace of eternal surprise, rich smokey eyes and hard eyeliner make the eyes smaller, and in combination with active red lipstick and contouring, Christina looks about 45 years old.
More recently, it appeared in the media recent photo the cover of Paper magazine - there the singer flaunts without any makeup at all and looks amazing. Maybe she should give up makeup?
Panda makeup is very impressive and unusual. Many girls make it for themselves to draw the attention of others to their eyes. But it may not suit every fashionista. Before making one for yourself, we recommend that you read this article.
The most best example The use of “panda” makeup is foreign singer Taylor Momsen. It is part of the girl’s extraordinary image and fits perfectly with her turbulent biography.
Makeup Features
This type of makeup is not suitable for everyone. A girl should first of all be with blond hair and pale skin. If the hair is a little darker or completely dark, then the makeup will look unkempt and will create the effect of droopy eyes. Pale skin is suitable for makeup, but if it is a different shade, it is recommended to use a light foundation.
Before you apply makeup with a panda effect, you need to take care of the condition of your skin. As mentioned earlier, the skin should be light. To give it this shade you will need a pale foundation and almost white powder, the density of which should be medium. Everything will be quite simple to do. First of all, treat problem areas of the skin with corrector; rub it very well. After this, even out the tone and apply powder. The use of blush is strictly prohibited. Remember that the main goal is to make your face as pale as possible.
Eyes
To do panda makeup, you will need black eye shadow, black mascara and eyeliner. Next, follow these steps:
- First of all, line your eyes with eyeliner along the lower and upper eyelids, they should resemble cat eyes.
- The next step is to apply shadow over the upper eyelid.
- Blend them to make your eyes look a little wider.
- After this, line your eyes again with eyeliner, but make the arrows a little wider. It is very important that the shape of the eyes resemble butterfly sunglasses, as if there are eyes drawn on them.
- The final step is to apply mascara. Apply it a little, but not too greasy. You can see the “panda” makeup in the photo above.
If you have short eyelashes, then the best and a winning option there will be gluing of artificial ones. So, the eyes will become a little wider and the look will be very languid and alluring.
Lips
Several lipstick colors are suitable for this type of makeup. For example, you can make them beige or peach color. It is best to use one that more closely resembles a natural shade. And after applying lipstick, use a lip pencil. It should also be a neutral color, this will make your lips look more defined and soft. You can also apply a little shimmery glitter on top.
The second option is more noticeable and bright. Lips are painted bright red or cherry. So, all attention turns to them. You can add cherry-colored eye shadow to these lips; this is done on the lower eyelid.
This lip design option may also suit girls with darker hair. Makeup can be made less intense. So, attention will shift to the lips.
This is how you can do panda makeup easily and without any help. The main thing is to know moderation in everything and to put on makeup without unnecessary fanaticism.
