Grinch Makeup DIY: How To Recreate the Look

Step 1:
Buchanan begins by applying an e.l.f. Power Grip Primer all over the face for a smooth base. Then, she sketches the Grinch’s iconic features with a white eyeliner pencil, mapping out his expressive wrinkles and mischievous, curly grin. Feeling ambitious? Take it a step further and use the eyeliner to outline a festive sweater design for the ultimate Grinch-inspired transformation.

Step 2:
To add the Grinch’s infamous snub nose, attach the prosthetic using spirit gum or prosthetic adhesive, pressing it firmly into place. Finish by blending the edges with liquid latex or makeup for a flawless, seamless effect.

Step 4:
To really define those Grinchy features, Buchanan goes in with a dark green eyeshadow to deepen the effect of the shadows and wrinkles, applying to the forehead, cheeks and up the nose. Be sure to fill in the tip of the nose with dark green to get the iconic snub-nose look.
Step 5:
Now, let’s dive into the eyeshadow! To add a touch of classic glam to this bold look, start by applying a matte green eyeshadow across your lids, blending it up slightly above the crease. Intensify the crease with a deeper green or a hint of black for added dimension, blending outward in a soft, winged shape for that signature Grinchy look. Smudge the same green shades along your lower lash line—or use Valentino Colorgraph Eyeliner in shade "Green Stravaganza"—then, brighten the inner corners with a pop of shimmer. To complete the look, finish with dramatic false lashes and a coat of black mascara, giving your eyes the perfect amount of flair to match the playful, cartoonish effect.

Step 6:
Fill in your brows with a dark green or black brow pomade to mimic the Grinch’s dramatic, sharp brows. Make sure to create an exaggerated arch and a sharp, angular shape for that signature mischievous look.
