The Jazz Club Makeup Trend Is The Perfect Sultry Summer Look
Even if you can't name a single song by Miles Davis or Chet Baker, that doesn't mean you can't look like you have their entire discographies at home. After all, if you ask any die-hard jazz fan, they'll tell you it's not just a type of music, but a lifestyle. As Louis Armstrong eloquently said, "If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know." So, yeah, it's an all-encompassing way of life for some.
Because jazz and what it represents will never go out of style, a recent beauty trend inspired by jazz has popped up on TikTok. And, according to the app's #jazzclubmakeuptutorial page, rocking the jazz club makeup look is relatively easy. While you may have thought that the pastel eye makeup trend would last through the summer, the reality is that things are about to get spiced up with other options. Instead, the dark delicious vibes you'd find in a jazz club are the trend of the moment which is great news for those who inherently shun the pinks and yellows of the summer.
If you want to try out this trend, the first thing to do is shelf your light and sheer makeup. It might be July and sweltering outside, but in a jazz club, things are always cool — hence why dark makeup makes sense and why you're about to rock it.
Stick with warm colors and golden tones
When looking like you're on your way to a jazz club, it's all about keeping things golden and warm. While we've already seen that silver shimmer has been one of the big makeup trends of the year so far, you want to stay as far away from silver and similar cooler tones when trying to nail the jazz vibe. From your overall base to your eye shadow, keep everything golden.
Go heavy on the classic smokey eye
As much as gold is the name of the game here, when it comes to eyeliner, you're going to layer it on and create the forever-coveted, forever-timeless smokey eye. If you're someone who can create the perfect eyeliner wing, then add that to your look too. Also, don't be afraid to play with a bit of shimmer and shadow around the eyes as well.
A red lip offers the perfect amount of sultry jazz vibes
Oh, the iconic red lip! Frankly, red lipstick always has a place and never, ever goes out of style, and that's especially true when replicating the jazz club makeup trend. It immediately turns on the heat in a sultry, jazzy way. If you fear you can't pull off such a bold color, then you can drop it a few shades and go for a dark burgundy lip instead. Either one is a perfect fit for this trend.
Keep those cheekbones highly bronzed
While you can't ever really go wrong with a flushed cheek, for the purpose of creating jazz club vibes, you'll want to keep your cheeks highly bronzed. If you're into layering your makeup, slip some deep red in there to give your cheek more dimension, but overall, it's best to stick to the theme, and that theme is gold.
A burgundy or equally dark mani will tie the whole look together
Once your face is set and you're feeling like you could easily score a date with Nina Simone or Stan Getz, you're not going anywhere if your manicure doesn't match. Ice cream nails may be all the rage right now, but they're going to throw a wrench into your jazz club efforts. So, even if it's only temporary, ditch the lighter nail shade and go for dark reds or forest greens. You can take it even darker, all the way to black if you want. After all, black nails are an absolute staple — both in and out of the jazz club.
