Mob Wife Make Up

Exit the clean girl look, and make way for bling-bling with the “mob wife” trend, which is flooding the Internet and the beauty sphere. Here are the three steps to achieve the mob wife make up.

Mob wife aesthetic

Fan of the aesthetic of Elvira Hancock in Scarface or Connie Corleone in the Godfather trilogy? Good news, it will be possible to adopt it. This is what reveals the latest trend on TikTok, called “mob wife”. Indeed, with more views than ever, it aims to copy the signature look of gangster wives previously seen on the big screen. Dizzying pumps, ultra-fashionable thigh-high boots and XXL fur coats… These are the attributes of these muses, as scandalous as they are sexy, and which we have fun copying on the Web.

Mob wife: a trend that arouses as much interest as controversy

If the trend of the “mob wife” look unleashes passion for its glamorous and sulphurous aesthetic, it is far from being unanimously accepted by the general public. Indeed, if some already see themselves dressing up like Karen Hill from Goodfellas or Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction, others talk more about cultural appropriation. And for good reason: this key look from the 80s and 90s largely takes inspiration from the beauty styles of Italian-American women. A community long stigmatized in the United States and around the world, here used and sold, for a fashion and beauty trend.

How to reproduce the mob wife’s makeup?

The master word ? Make flashy triumph, in the absence of minimalism, as recommended by the “clean girl look” which has long remained at the top of trends. An aesthetic that has already seduced many stars, who have been seen wearing large, luxurious fabrics, which we often associate with Versace or Yves Saint Laurent. However, the mob wife look is not just limited to the fashion world. It also has a very recognizable beauty look, with a tan complexion and smoky eyes that many have reproduced. Here are the 3 fundamental steps and essential products to adopt it.

–Bronzer: the key to a successful mob wife complexion

First stage ? The complexion, which must be both well defined and natural. To do this, rely on a foundation and a matte corrector, which you can apply to the highlighted areas. Then, it’s time to bronze! This is one of the most crucial steps to achieving a successful femme fatale makeup look, as it must look both natural and dramatic. To acheive this, generously apply bronzer. Which you can also replace by a contouring stick, for those who prefer to hollow out their cheeks clearly.

–The kohl pencil, for an intense and glamorous look

It’s all about the look. Unlike the complexion which must be rather minimalist, the eyes must be painted black. To do this, simply apply brown eyeshadow all over the eyelid, then a touch of kohl pencil on the upper and lower eyelashes, and in the mucous membrane before blending everything.

–Lip pencil, the final touch for a 100% femme fatale look

For the lips, opt for a brown pencil, which you can apply to the contour and inside of the lips. All you have to do is add a slightly satin lipstick, and that’s it!

So to summarize, to have this makeup look you need to focus on these points:

• A perfect complexion, or even more than perfect: the skin must be unified and smooth
• The EYE focus: a smoky one in warm brown tones
• No color on the lips: you can leave them nude or old pink in color
• Cheeks: slightly pink or with a little bronze
• Very important: no sharp lines, rather blurring & fading

And voilà! The “Mob Wife look” is the makeup trend to adopt. A very sultry look, inspired by actresses from the 80s and 90s who played the wives of rich mafiosi. The idea of this makeup is ultra sophistication, bling bling, but… with a certain filter.… Are you now ready to give it a go?
