Ditch the glitter and bold red lipstick – this year’s most surprising festive beauty trend has emerged from an unlikely source: the roadside.
Make-up artist and influencer Genevieve Turley has taken social media by storm after unveiling her Christmas party look inspired by a matte grey Škoda Elroq vRS she discovered parked on the street.
Whilst the rest of the country prepares to dazzle in sequins, Genevieve – who shares content as @genevieveturleymua – has rejected the sparkle in favour of an anti-glitter, moody-grey Skoda-inspired transformation.
Her recent video – which has amassed thousands of views within just 48 hours – demonstrates her recreation of the sophisticated, steely shades of the Škoda Elroq vRS in complete glamorous form.
The striking winged eyeliner?
That mirrors the vehicle’s streamlined, sharp contours. The matte grey eyeshadow?
Lifted directly from its high-quality paintwork.
Even her eye shape has been crafted to echo the curve of the wheel arches.
Speaking about her look and its unusual inspiration, Genevieve said: « It feels cool, confident, and different from the usual sparkle we see in December. While I love a sequin, matte grey has a modern, understated edge that surprisingly mimics the fierceness of the car. It’s a great alternative look for the Christmas party. »
Her followers were captivated by her automotive makeup selection – with some taken aback that the look possessed genuine appeal beyond its quirky concept.
Follower @DomInTheKitchen quipped, « This feels like it should be irony but it’s not and I’m kinda here for it. You’ll stop traffic, that’s for sure, » Meanwhile, another admirer, @MikhilaMcDaid remarked: « You are a GENIUS » whilst @Chazowncreative chimed in: « Yes! The grey made your eyes pop out. A stunning look. »
So whilst the majority of us are wandering about shedding glitter like a bargain Christmas decoration, Genevieve is demonstrating that this season’s most fashionable, albeit unexpected, trend… could well be stepping out with a complexion that’s a rather clever shade of Škoda matte grey.
