If you’re ready to trade ethereal for edgy this Halloween, look no further than Mira, the rebellious and fiercely stylish member of HUNTR/X from Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters. While Rumi brings the mystical glam, Mira serves a look that is pure cyberpunk-meets-idol, with a heavy dose of attitude.
This guide will walk you through recreating Mira’s signature makeup, focusing on her electrifying, glitter-heavy eyes and the rebellious spirit that makes her a fan favorite.
The Mira Vibe: Cyberpunk Rebel with a Cause
Mira’s aesthetic is all about bold choices. Think less “soft glam” and more “glam rock.” Her look is defined by a flawless matte base that lets her dramatic eyes do all the talking. The key elements are a glitter-bombed smoky eye, sharp winged liner, and pops of neon that scream confidence.
Your Demon-Slaying Makeup Arsenal
To get Mira’s look, you’ll need a few key products that pack a punch:
- For the Base:
- A matte, long-wearing foundation (like TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion) and a good concealer.
- A contour palette to chisel out your cheekbones.
- A translucent setting powder to lock it all in.
- For the Eyes:
- An eyeshadow palette with deep purples, blacks, and warm neutral tones (the Dior Backstage Eye Palette in Warm Essentials is a great option).
- A vibrant purple or pink eyeshadow palette (like Flower Knows’ Violet Strawberry).
- A high-impact glitter eyeshadow or loose glitter in silver or baby pink.
- A jet-black, waterproof liquid eyeliner.
- A creamy pencil eyeliner.
- Dramatic false eyelashes or a volumizing mascara (like Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes).
- For the Cheeks & Lips:
- A soft, neutral blush.
- A nude or light pink lip gloss to balance the look.
The Transformation: A Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming Mira
Ready to bring the “Honmoon Energy”? Follow these steps to achieve Mira’s iconic look.
Step 1: The Flawless Matte Canvas
Mira’s look starts with perfect skin. After prepping with a primer, apply a matte foundation for a smooth, poreless finish. Use concealer to brighten under your eyes and cover any blemishes. Sharpen your features by contouring your cheekbones and jawline, then set everything with a light layer of powder to ensure it lasts all night.
Step 2: The Glitter-Heavy Hunter Eyes
This is where Mira’s personality shines through.
- Build the Base: Start by applying a neutral or warm brown eyeshadow across your eyelid as a base.
- Smoke It Out: Using a deep purple or black shade, build up the color in your outer corner and crease to create a dramatic, smoky effect. Blend thoroughly to avoid harsh lines.
- Glitter Bomb: This is the key to Mira’s look. Pack a glittery eyeshadow (silver or light pink works best) onto the center of your eyelid with your finger or a flat brush. Don’t be shy—the more glitter, the better.
- The Sharp Wing: Using your black liquid eyeliner, draw a clean, sharp wing. You can make it as dramatic as you like to channel that fierce demon-hunter energy.
- Lower Lash Line: Smudge the same dark purple or black eyeshadow along your lower lash line. For that signature Mira touch, you can add a pop of neon pink or blue eyeliner to the inner corner or along the waterline for a cyberpunk-inspired flare.
- Lashes for Days: Finish the eyes with a dramatic pair of false eyelashes or multiple coats of a volumizing mascara to make your eyes pop.
Step 3: Keep It Simple: Cheeks and Lips
Since the eyes are the main focus, keep the rest of the makeup relatively simple.
- Apply a soft, neutral blush to the apples of your cheeks for a subtle flush of color.
- For the lips, opt for a nude or light pink lip gloss. This will complement the dramatic eyes without competing for attention, perfectly balancing the look.
With your makeup complete, all that’s left is to throw on a black leather jacket, some chains, and your combat boots. You’re now ready to hit the town as the coolest member of HUNTR/X. Create your own Posters to save this memory
