Chappell Roan Matched Her Makeup to Her Dress
Matching your makeup to your outfit has long been one of the best and easiest makeup tricks in the book, but leave it to Chappell Roan to do it her way and put a twist on the matchy-matchy look. While regular folks would match their eye shadow to a color in their dress or top, picking up a shade of bronze, green, or purple and mimicking that in their makeup palette, Roan matched her stage makeup almost exactly to her dress.
We always pay close attention to Roan's performance makeup and outfits—never forget the Statue of Liberty homage from Governor's Ball 2024, complete with green body paint! Her look from the Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary, did not disappoint, with delightful detail after delightful detail to pore over. The bodice of her circus tutu-inspired costume was a zoomed-in closeup of her own face, and that face was wearing the same eyeshadow, ultra-pale, nearly white foundation, and gleaming golden highlighter as her IRL counterpart.
Both the real Roan and the dress version wore a bright aqua blue shadow brushed all the way up the lid, with a hint of amethyst purple dusted underneath her '30s-style skinny brows. A shiny true gold pigment was applied to her cheekbone all the way up to her temple, and her lips were painted a gorgeous ruby red. Was the onstage makeup inspired by the dress, or was the dress inspired by the makeup? Is this the fashion and beauty version of the “chicken or the egg” situation?
The matchy-matchy makeup wasn't the only meta moment in the show, either. At one point, Roan wore a headpiece of, well, her own head, complete with her signature long, flowing red curls, and carried a wand with yet another mini version of her head placed atop. If you zoom in, you'll see that those mini Chappell heads are also wearing the same blue shadow and red lipstick as the singer and her dress, as well as teeny little Elizabethan ruffs around their necks. I'm seeing double… no, triple… no, quadruple!
