Here’s how you can recreate Ariana Grande’s Galinda look from ‘Wicked’

Ariana Grande portrayed Glinda the Good Witch in the recent fantasy musical, “Wicked.” As a hair and makeup lead, Frances Hannon’s main challenge was to create modern, distinct looks for each character. The MUA crafted Glinda’s ethereal style with a pearly finish, perfectly complementing her elaborate costumes and reimagining her as a powerful witch.

The focus was on a delicate, princess-like look — light, feathery, and weightless. In an exclusive to PEOPLE, Hannon said they did not prefer heavy lips or dark eyeshadow but soft radiance for Grande’s Glinda look. This subtle yet striking approach, paired with Elphaba’s reflective look, created a beautifully balanced energy in the film. Moreover, they created Glinda’s “everything soft” and “youthful” makeup look using r.e.m. Wicked products, which fans can now easily recreate.

Aiming for a light makeup look, one should start by applying Lunar Magic Blurring Primer from r.e.m beauty x Wicked. To create a dewy finish, use a tinted moisturizer that works best for each individual’s skin. Then, choose soft pastel shades for the eyes. The official website of r.e.m. beauty suggests using Midnight Shadows Liquid Eyeshadow in “it’s good to see me, isn’t it?” to create a shimmery pink-lilac shade.

For a fresh look, apply a hint of blush and a gloss or tint on your lips. Use the Eclipse Lip & Cheek Stick in “she’s so good.” Following this, smudge the graphic lines on your eyes for a smokey effect using At the Borderline Eyeliner Pencil in “scandalacious.” For pearly-rose lips, try On Your Collar Lipstick in “you’ve been galinda-fied” and finish with Interstellar Highlighter in “miss mercury” for a dewy glow. As Glinda matures into the “Good Witch,” her makeup becomes more sophisticated. To attain that look, use richer eyeshadow tones like pink or lavender, add a bold lip, and lift the outer eye corners for elegance.

Hence, by following these steps and using key products, Ariana Grande’s magical Glinda look can be attained, capturing the essence of the character at every stage of her journey.
