The Topshop Make-up tutorials on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dialogue) feature fun and daring party looks. The channel provides fashion forecasts and styling tips. The make-up tutorials offered dip into a wide range of inspirations, including this daring look entitled 'Ziggy.'

The [metallic wings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers) are inspired by David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust.' The iconic glam rock god frequented a full face of metallic paint, detailed with lightening bolts and medallions. The model is adorned with pink-tipped grey locks and a hyper-rosed pout. To push the grungy party look to the next level, the make-up artist borrows from Bowie's bizarre stage persona. The artist sweeps on [shimmering golden wings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-2024-makeup) around the model's brow bone and down onto the top of the cheek bone.

With a heavily lined glare, the 'Ziggy' look is as fierce as it gets.
