13 Best Beauty Items to Achieve the Brontë-Core Look Leave a comment

Have you seen Wuthering Heights yet? If you have, you’ll know exactly what this beauty mood board is all about. While Emerald Fennell’s cinematic interpretation strayed pretty far from the original novel, this fresh take on the classic really got my beauty inspiration wheels turning. The costumes, cinematography, and overall aesthetic of the movie were a sight to behold—matched only by lead Margot Robbie‘s ultimate ‘soft girl’ makeup.

MAC Cosmetics’s director of makeup artists Terry Barber says this acted as the sounding board for the Brontë-core beauty trend taking over my For You page. “It’s about a more soft-focus, romantic beauty devoid of any sharp lines and defining contours,” she says. “Think low-key eyes, outdoorsy flushed cheeks and blushed, unlined lips. In terms of color, it’s about opting for shades which look like heightened versions of tones that are already in the skin, as if you’ve just come in from cold weather. It’s a shadowy halo around the eye with no mascara, a ruddy pink ‘pinched’ stain worn high on the apples of the cheek and rubbed into the lip. All of this on a canvas of soft matte blurry skin.”
