Kahlo was a [Mexican painter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museo-casa-kahlo) best known for her self-portraits; she also had a pretty iconic look. In order to recreate it, Nash advises filling in your brows (Kahlo's most recognizable feature) with an angled brush and brow gel. Finish off the makeup with bright blush and an orange-red lipstick. For the hair, part down the middle and section hair into two braids. Pin the brains across your head in a plait and accessorize with a floral crown -- real or fake -- and a heavily embroidered shirt. Voila! You have brought Frida Kahlo back to life in mere minutes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **DIY Makeup Tutorials:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating user-friendly and easily accessible makeup tutorial platforms. - **Last-minute Costumes:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing convenient and affordable last-minute costume solutions. - **Iconic Look Recreation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in providing tools and resources for recreating iconic looks in a quick and easy way. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating innovative and user-friendly makeup products. - **Entertainment and Events:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in the event industry by offering last-minute costume ideas and resources. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing accessible and authentic costumes related to iconic figures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mexican-Painter-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frida-kahlo-eau.md) - [Mexican Artist-Honoring Cannabis Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alas-pa-volar.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Painter-Themed Charm Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-at-the-museum.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Historic Home Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museo-casa-kahlo.md) - [Hispanic Heritage-Inspired Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hispanic-heritage-month.md) - [Festive Día de Muertos-Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-de-muertos-dolls.md) - [Iconic Touring Artist Makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madonnas-makeup.md)
