The Black Panther craze has, of course, reached makeup — and Black women in particular are showing off their skills inspired by the characters and theme of the film. We're seeing looks inspired by everything from King T'Challa's unbreakable vibranium mask to Princess Shuri's dotted face paint to the official film logo colors. These makeup artists and enthusiasts went all out to celebrate Oscar-winning film.
Catch all this Black Girl Magic and let the ladies take you straight to Wakanda in style!
Sunset tease and royalty? Yasss.
Follow Jasmine Cooper on Instagram: @Jazz_onthebeat_. A sunset gradient that travels from red to orange to yellow makes this one bold, warm look. Black Princess Shuri-inspired polka dots and geometric shapes give the design an even edgier appeal.
How are jewels, white tribal marks, and a LITTY cut crease for a Wakanda slay?
If you can master a cut crease, then you're halfway there with this makeup design. White tribal marks and a vintage-inspired Lolita necklace make this look Wakanda-ready.

All you need to complete this eye makeup look is blue, red, and black eye shadow. Grab a pink or fuchsia lipstick with your go-to dark lip liner and then throw in the Princess Shuri dots to finish your face. Lastly, you'll need a multi-colored head wrap scarf and your favorite pair of hoop earrings.

Just LOOK at this makeup interpretation of Princess Shuri.
You're gonna need a bigger tub of face paint to pull off this look that covers the neck and shoulders. For the face, just pick your favorite red lipstick, white eyeliner (or lip liner), and the shadows you need for a neutral eye look.

Yes, many of these makeup artists are planning to head out to the actual theaters serving these major looks.
The Princess Shuri dots strike yet again! They're the easiest to pull off with the right product. Treat yourself to a black lip, soft red or pink eye shadow, and white eyeliner to create the dots.
