Fuhgeddaboudit With This Mob Wife Makeup Tutorial

Oh my gawd, have you seen the mob wives of TikTok? The opposite of the Clean Girl aesthetic that has been ruling TikTok for so long, this look is all about fur, animal prints and big hair. Straight out of an 80s mob movie set in Jersey, Mob Wife makeup, a tongue-in-cheek description of this retro glamour, is heavy on black eyeliner, bronzer and red, red lips. Here, we go through a basic tutorial so you can pair it with your favorite Mob Wife ‘fit.

Begin with this pearly moisturizer that helps even dull skin glow.

Next, lay a good base with this full-coverage liquid foundation that lasts for 16 hours while looking natural.

This creamy stick helps you quickly contour cheekbones, the side of the nose and around the forehead. Blend and also hit the eye creases to create depth.

A rich, blendable eyeliner is key. Line both the top and bottom lids and then gently smoke it out with a soft brush.

For shadow, go with earthy tones with the darkest color, a dark gray, on the lids. Layer a chocolate shade in the crease.

Blend in a concealer under eyes, at the inner and outer corners. This full-coverage formula brightens, corrects and highlights.

Blend a pigmented matte blush on the apples of the cheeks, like this brick shade from Pastel.

Tame full brows with this shaping wax. Castor and walnut oil moisturize, so brows get some healthy moisture, too.

For mascara, use a black shade on natural lashes, but make them full with a few coats. Feather it on both top and bottom lashes.

After shaping brows, fill them in. They should look natural, not too dark, but full.

Match your liner closely to your lip shade. You want to define the lip, but not make the line too hard. Blend around the lip to soften the line.

Now, fill in the lip with a reddish-brown shade. You want the lips bold, but not brash.

For the last step, highlight on the cheek bones for a luxe glow. The warm metallic sheen of this powder looks classy and not glittery.
