Whether you know the characters from the comic books or just the MCU film universe, you can find a whole range of inspiration

Marvel Inspired Makeup and Nail Art

Marvel Inspired-Thor: Love and Thunder

Now available on Disney Plus, check out my review here

I personally loved Thor: Love and Thunder. I found it really funny, engaging and clever. Plus it helps that an actual god plays Thor.

Makeup

In later appearances, Thor subsequently sports an injured eye. This is what inspired the lightning bolt on the makeup. The god of thunder, Thor, is often associated with glowing blues and lightning flashes.

The rest of the makeup I kept simple as it is for many of the cast of the film. A light flush, natural skin and clean lines.

I had to add a quick plait into my hair as well for a full Scandinavian inspired design.

Nails

For the nails I used a crackle polish as I felt this was reminiscent of Thor’s lightning strikes. Bolts draw your eyes to a hand painted Mjölnir.

Marvel Inspired-Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

I love the original Black Panther film. Whilst I wasn’t such a fan of the sequel it’s changes were understandable with the passing of T’Challa actor Chadwick Boseman.

Makeup

The makeup was inspired by the glowing lip tattoos seen in the first film. Chiefly these marked the Wakanada nationals as part of their nation whilst in the wider world.

Nail Art

This nail art features feline style claws. It takes inspiration from the Black Panther necklace which contains the technology of his suit.

Have your own Marvel Nail Art

If you want your own Marvel-themed nails without the hard work then why not order some custom press on nails?

This way someone else does all the hard work for you but you get to rep your favourite characters and movie franchises!

Who is your favourite Marvel hero? Who’s team would you love to be on?
