Get the Look | Southside Serpents – Riverdale inspired Makeup Tutorial

One last post before Christmas. I wanted to go ahead and share this Get the Look for some last minute holiday makeup inspiration even though it’s totally inspired by Riverdale. I recently got my claws on a South Side Serpents tee and it got my little wheels turning.

For this look I wanted a smoky sultry green eyeshadow and a shiny bright red lip.

To create the look I used the Kat Von D Fetish Palette and the Huda Beauty Emerald Obsessions. Both palettes have green tones I wanted to use and some of the mattes from each.

Let’s get started.

The Eyes

As I like to do, I have primed my eyes and done my brows. I also decided to use a bit of medical tape as a guide. This is an effortless way to get a winged out look and you can be messy as hell. When the tape comes off you have the cleanest and sharpest line ever.

Now for some shadow work.

On a large fluffy brush I blended Sex all throughout the transition area, crease, toward the inner part of the brow and pulled outward in a cat eye shape.

Sex is such a good mustard yellow and perfect for the transition in this look.

I applied Suspension into the crease and pulled the shadow out to follow that cat eye shape while making sure to blend it smoothly into Sex. It’s a tad patchy right now but it gets better. This is one of those looks that is rough until you finish.

Moving on to the greens.

Shibari went right onto the lid.

Jumping over to the Huda Beauty Emerald Obsessions.

This shade went into the inner corner and pulled up hugging my inner crease.

Back to the Fetish Palette.

I applied Rubber to the outer portion of the lid and into the outer crease blending with the brown. I also used it to line my upper lash line.

At this point, I did more back and forth between all the shades I used to get everything blended how I wanted. When you blend shades get lost so there is some going back and forth to keep the shades vibrant as well. I spent a good amount of time on making sure the colors were seamless. Blend until your hand falls off.

Then I removed my tape and cleaned up any fall out. You can see what a crisp line the tape creates.

I went ahead and did most my face makeup and moved on to the lower lash line while I was baking. I started with the Suspension shade on a small brush and blended it close to the lash line and up to connect with the winged out portion.

And in with the matte black for more depth and a seamless flow with the upper eyelid. This gives an elongated cat eye shade while still looking super smoky.

Back to the inner corner, I used that same pale green I used on the inner corner from the Emerald Obsessions to brighten everything up. I pulled this shade inward to meet up the matte shades about a third of the way in to open up the eye some since it was so smoky.

And that’s it for the shadow. It’s not a hard look to do but will take some patience blending because I was using such a deep shade into a mustard yellow it took some extra effort.

I finished the eyes off with a coat of mascara and some Ardell Faux Mink Lashes.

The Finished Eyes

For the lips I wanted a true bright red with juicy glossy finish

. I used a matte fire engine red from Stila in the shade Beso topped with Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick in Flambe. This is one of my favorite red lip combos. I have full reviews of both lip products linked below.

I even did my nails to tie in.

The Finished Look

And here is the completed look. Please ignore how my foundation is too dark. I didn’t notice that until I looked at the picks. I wasn’t thinking and didn’t mix my white mixer into Covergirl Vitalist Healthy Elixir which is a tad too deep for me but damn it’s a good foundation. I have a review here.

I honestly couldn’t remember if I tried on what other products I used because once again I didn’t make notes and this was done almost a month ago. I did use the Kat Von D Fetish Blush + Highlighter Palette. Review here.

Here is my review of both palettes I used:

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post. I loved how this look came out, just as much as I love Riverdale and the Serpents. I’m at that age where I can’t tell if I am more attracted to Jughead or his Dad… Who’s with on that? Like I know the actor playing Jughead isn’t that much younger than me but he’s playing a high school student. Just feels kinda creepy and I mean have ya looked at FP?

Ah well, as Jenna Marbles would sing, “Just a 32-year-old lady” Well, in a month I will be and like Jenna, I am doing what I wanna do or continue to do so and I hope ya’ll stay along for the ride.

Happy Holidays and I will see ya after crimmus for a NYE easy glam look.
