The Glindafication of Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande is experiencing a significant transformation as she takes on the role of Glinda in the highly anticipated film adaptation of *Wicked*. In a recent Instagram video shared on November 7, the 31-year-old actress candidly revealed her glam process while filming this iconic role, which she affectionately refers to as “glindafication.” This transformation reflects not just a change in character but also a reimagining of her approach to makeup.
Behind the Scenes of Glinda’s Makeup
During the makeup application process, Ariana joked with her hair and makeup team about her quick getting-ready time. Admitting that she often does a part of her own makeup, Grande discusses the characteristics of Glinda’s makeup style. She highlights the softer elements, stating, “There’s no, like, thick eyeliner. There’s no, like, heavy crease.” This approach is aimed at achieving a warm and open look, contrasting with the bold looks she might have favored in the past.
A More Honest Representation
In her exploration of Glinda’s glam, Grande finds beauty in simplicity and honesty. She emphasizes that the makeup should represent a more authentic reflection of one’s features, stating that it celebrates the natural eye shape. The lashes, styled in a cat shape, still deliver a subtle cat eye lift, maintaining a hint of her classic style while adhering to her character’s essence. With the film set to be released on November 22, Ariana Grande is excited about how this transformation has changed her entire relationship with makeup, uttering, “Love, love, love.” This journey into Glinda’s world is proving to be both creatively refreshing and personally enriching for the star.
