Makeup Looks for the Renaissance Faire
Share
If you’re heading to a Renaissance Faire this summer, there’s no better excuse to go all out with your makeup. Think fairy-tale glamour, mystical vibes, and a healthy dose of glitter. Whether you're channeling a fierce elven queen, a romantic peasant maiden, or a dark sorceress, your look won’t be complete without the right makeup. Luckily, Medusa’s Makeup has everything you need to create a Renaissance-ready face that slays in every realm.
Start with a glowing base. Renaissance beauty is all about that ethereal, lit-from-within look. Pair it with Witchy Liner for a sharp wing or mystical stamp—the heart and wing tips on either end make it easy to add a playful or dramatic twist to your look.
For eyes that captivate across the kingdom, reach for Eye Dusts in shades like Penny Wise (a rich copper) or Star Wars (an iridescent white shimmer). These loose pigments can be used dry for a soft fairy shimmer or applied with a wet brush for bold, metallic drama. Layer them over Medusa’s Stick It! Eye Primer to keep everything in place, even if you're sweating under a flower crown or dancing at the maypole.
Brows should be strong and sculpted. Use Brow! Wow! Wow! Brow Powder to define and hold your brows in place—it’s a modern touch that still works with period-inspired looks. For lashes, the Witch Lash Mascara adds volume and intensity without clumping, and it's a must if you're skipping false lashes but still want your eyes to pop in photos.
No Renaissance look is complete without a bewitching lip. Our Forevermore Liquid Lipstick collection is ideal for long days at the faire—these lipsticks are ultra-matte, long-lasting, and come in showstopping shades like Late Night (a deep blood red) and Coven (a vampy violet). For a more romantic vibe, Creamy Satin Lipsticks in Triple X or Tamed give just enough pigment with a moisturizing finish that looks dreamy on all skin tones.
And of course, don’t forget the finishing touch: glitter. The Moon Glaze Glitter from Medusa’s Makeup are perfect for face, body, and even hair. Dab them across your cheekbones, collarbones, or eyelids to sparkle like a fae creature under the sun. Set everything in place with Medusa's Setting Spray, so your masterpiece lasts from jousting to moonlit feasts.
The Renaissance Faire is a place to break free from everyday beauty and step into a world of fantasy, drama, and bold expression. Whether you're rocking a corset and horns or a velvet cloak and wand, let Medusa’s Makeup be your magical toolkit. Slay the faire, enchant the crowd, and don’t forget to tag us in your mystical selfies. #MedusasMakeup
