Inspired by the upcoming release of the movie, [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spades-plus) beauty guru Kandee Johnson created this Angelina Jolie-as-Maleficent makeup look. Instead of being green skinned, this version of Maleficent is quite pale, less cartoony and more glamorous than the animated version. Although MAC has a line of Maleficent-themed makeup out, Kandee creates her look using comparable drugstore products. With a striking pair of green contacts and an awesome costume designed by Vanessa Gonzales, Kandee's Maleficent costume makeup look couldn't be more perfect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Alternative Character Makeup:** The trend of creating alternative makeup looks for iconic characters presents opportunities for cosmetic brands to develop new product lines and collaborations. - **Glamorous Costume Makeup:** The trend of creating glamorous and realistic costume makeup looks provides opportunities for makeup artists and beauty influencers to showcase their skills and collaborate with brands for product sponsorships. - **Drugstore Makeup Dupes:** The trend of using affordable drugstore products to achieve high-quality makeup looks presents opportunities for cosmetic brands to develop and market budget-friendly alternatives. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic brands can leverage the trend of alternative character makeup and collaborate with makeup artists and influencers to create and promote new product lines. - **Entertainment:** The trend of glamorous costume makeup provides opportunities for entertainment companies to collaborate with makeup artists for promotional events and sponsorships. - **Retail:** The trend of using drugstore makeup dupes creates opportunities for retailers to curate and promote affordable makeup products that can replicate high-end looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Spooky Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-cosmetics.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Villainous Bridal Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allure-bridals-disney-bridal-gowns.md) - [Grungy Movie-Inspired Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-magic-beauty.md) - [Horror Doll Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-decay-x-m3gan.md) - [Spooky Holiday Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-n-wild-beauty-x-disney.md) - [Witchy Nail Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-x-wicked-for-good.md) - [Makeup Water Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corpse-paint-makeup.md) - [Vampire Film Makeup Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpops-twilight-makeup.md)
