“I gave it my best go! It was hard!”
In a video shared on Instagram and TikTok, Love Island’s Sanam attempted the viral Billie Eilish makeup trend inspired by her latest song ‘BLUE’.
Sanam Harrinanan, the standout star of Love Island Season 9, has taken social media by storm with her stunning rendition of Billie Eilish’s ‘Feeling Blue’ makeup trend.
This viral sensation, sparked by Eilish’s latest melancholic track ‘BLUE,’ has captivated beauty and fashion influencers across the globe.
Billie Eilish’s song ‘BLUE,’ the closing track of her third album Hit Me Hard And Soft, has become a cultural phenomenon.
The song, originally an unreleased and leaked track called ‘True Blue,’ was revisited by Eilish after the leak, turning into a heartfelt piece that has inspired this unique makeup trend.
In an interview with Apple Music, Eilish explained the journey of reworking the song, originally written in 2016, which has now become a symbol of creative resilience.
The ‘Feeling Blue’ makeup trend involves influencers showcasing a bare-faced look, only to splash water on their faces and transition to bold, blue-themed makeup.
This trend has not only showcased makeup artistry but has also symbolised turning one’s blues into something visually and emotionally beautiful.
Sanam Harrinanan embraced this challenge head-on.
Her video, which has amassed over 700,000 views and 14,000 likes, shows her flawless transformation.
In her caption, Sanam admitted the challenge was tough but rewarding: “I gave it my best go! It was hard!”
Her fiancé, Kai Fagan, affectionately commented, “You look like a cute avatar,” while fellow Islander Lana Jenkins expressed her admiration with, “Loooooove this.”
Fans flooded her post with praise, one user noting, “Did really well, and the makeup looks beautiful.”
On July 9, 2024, Sanam further delighted her followers by sharing a detailed video tutorial on how she achieved the look.
