Charli XCX’s Makeup – Max Factor & More

There’s no one hotter in the world of pop than Charli XCX. Between her “Fancy” hook with Iggy Azalea and little-credited contribution to Icona Pop’s “I Love It”, she’s played a bigger role in current music than her The Fault In Our Stars’ single “Boom Clap” suggests. Charli’s appeal is stylishly irreverent, and her hair and makeup always reflect a little “like I give a @&$!” attitude.

Makeup artist Laramie Glen has done Charli’s makeup. Charli is also the spokesperson for Max Factor’s Wild collection.

“Max Factor approached me and told me about the wild collection and I loved it,” Charli says. “It’s reflective of who I am as an artist and a person and thought it was just the perfect fit.”

“I love a good mascara,” she gushes. “The Max Factor WILD Mega mascara is what I’m wearing now, it’s really quick to apply and you really don’t have to wear anything else.”

“Along with that, I always have to have some good moisturizer on hand.” (Good advice!) “I’m loving Kiehl’s at the moment, and a liquid eyeliner and some face wipes are my core essentials.”

“The Max Factor Wild Savage Rose eyeshadow is glittery amazingness! Normally, on a day-to-day basis, I just wear a black slick of eyeliner – but onstage I add one of the new shadows and get more of a bold, feline shape.”

“My fashion choices and beauty reflect each other… I’ve always lent towards more grungy, almost gothic clothes. At the moment, I’m really into tartan skirts and shirts, like my take on a schoolgirl / cheerleader look done in a Siouxsie Sioux kind of way.”

(Psst. To my younger [or older] readers – if you don’t know Siouxsie and the Banshees, jump on Spotify and educate yourself. There would be no Charli without Siouxsie.)
