One thing about the sabi girl herself is this; she approaches glam with intention every single time. Ayra Starr makeup looks put a spin on existing trends while defining a soft and effortless direction of their own.
While fans know her for micro mini skirts and celestial goddess energy, her makeup brings a subtle, sultry and main-character vibe that only Ayra Starr can deliver.
In fact, it’s precisely this balance that defines her signature style and makes her truly Ayra Starr.
Rather than relying on heavy full-coverage glam or dramatic cut-creases (which are still very valid looks, especially in celebrity beauty), Ayra Starr’s makeup looks are rooted in a softer, more ethereal base.
It’s very much in line with the clean girl and soft-glam era — if you’re not familiar with it, see our Clean Girl Makeup Guide for a full breakdown.
DO BEAUTY LIKE AYRA STARR
The complexion always looks like skin — dewy in the right places and never overly set.
Her under-eye highlight is subtle, her contour is light and blended seamlessly, and everything just melts into her natural tone.
Even when she goes for full glam, it still feels fresh and Gen-Z in the way it’s placed.
Her brows follow the same theme; soft, almost straight, and shaped in a way that frames her face without feeling too sculpted. It’s less about “perfect arches” and more about a natural lift.
Let’s get into her signature shimmer eye. Whether she’s wearing a pastel green, muted blue, or classic warm gold, there’s always a subtle glimmer on the lid.
That’s one thing we have quickly noticed — if it’s an Ayra Starr makeup look, there’s going to be shine somewhere on that lid. It adds that dreamy touch and balances out the softness of the base perfectly.
When it comes to lips, she does not play. Her lip combos are always intentional; be it soft pink with a brown liner, caramel ombre tones, or the classic dark brown + clear gloss combo. It’s never flat and there’s always shape, contrast and just enough gloss to keep it youthful. ( If you’re trying to recreate any of these lip combos, check out our Lips section for step-by-step tutorials.)
Ayra Starr Makeup Looks – Our Favourite Glam Eras
The Goddess Braids Era
At the start of her career, Ayra Starr owned the goddess braids look so much that people literally walked into salons asking for “the Ayra braids”. She wore them with soft, bronzy makeup, gold shimmer on the lids and glossy brown lips — a perfect celestial goddess combo.
The Honey Brown Pixie Cut x Smoky EyeLiner Glam
When she switched to the honey-brown pixie, everything got even softer. MakeupByChelseax often paired the look with a soft smoky liner, seamless highlights, fluffy brows and rich berry lip combos. It felt feminine, bold and still very youthful — the perfect balance of soft girl and star power.
