1- What is brat style?

The brat style (a word that literally means "brat" in English) has been the major trend of summer 2024 since the British singer Charlie xcx released a new album titled Brat.

Not only did this album make a big impact in the music industry with its casual and techno style, but it also launched a broader trend on social media.

Indeed, this album comes with a fluorescent aesthetic that recalls the rebellious spirit of the 1990s... The quirky universe of the artist Charli xcx quickly inspired the world of fashion and beauty, with the advent of brat make-up among other things.

2- What is brat make-up?

The brat make-up, which could be translated as "naughty kid makeup," is the new makeup trend of the moment.

Inspired by the universe of artist Charli XCX, it is characterized by the use of acidic or neon green shades. This way of applying makeup also stands out with a slightly trashy style, but always cool and sexy.

This look, both sensual, rebellious, and mischievous, could also be described as glamorous grunge because today's beauty enthusiasts are not afraid of paradoxes!

3- What colors for a brat make-up?

The brat make-up perfectly translates the audacity of Generation Z when it comes to asserting their style.

In this beauty look, the complexion remains discreet and natural to better highlight the color of the eyeshadow. The lips also stay nude, although you can outline them with a pencil slightly darker than the lip color.

In reference to the neon green of the Brat album cover, the tangy green is the signature color of this beauty look. This shade, which is uncommon for eye makeup, is applied as a solid color across the entire eyelid for a striking result.

Note: if you find that neon green does not go well with your eye color, you can adopt this style in a more nuanced way by opting for a more subtle shade of green.

For example, you can apply one or more eyeshadows in the following shades to your eyelids:
• olive green.
• jade green.
• khaki green.
• emerald green.
