pornstar makeup

Thick coating of shimmery makeup worn by pornstars and little girls who think they want to be pornstars. The best example is 1990s Pamela Anderson.

Elements of pornstar makeup are..

• A dark fake tan (most commonly from a tanning bed)
• Lots of bronze foundation, to cover up the skin damage that results from the previous
• Sparkly powder, to hold the makeup in place (note that this is usually not waterproof and hence girls in pornstar makeup will freak out if it starts raining)
• One pound of black mascara - think Tammy Faye
• Silver, white, or light colored eyeshadow applied as a gradient ending at the eyebrow
• Frosted mauve lipstick
• Taupe or brick red lipliner
• Very thinly plucked eyebrows (aka drag queen eyebrows)
• Brown eyebrow powder (shadow? liner? what do you call this stuff?)
• ½ to ¾-inch long black eyelashes (fake)
• (optional) Black eyeliner all the way around the eye

One nice thing about the pornstar aesthetic is that it is very cross cultural and is common not only on white women, but on black women, asian women, etc. This may be due to the fact that one's natural features are entirely covered up by this makeup regimen, allowing for a worldwide corps of racially diverse Barbie dolls.

This effect can be observed in shopping malls (especially on cashiers in trendy clothing stores), on MTV, at high schools, in sorority houses, and of course in porn all of types and descriptions.
