I don't know about you guys, but I am super excited for Pitch Perfect 2 to come out! I especially love Beca's edgy style and makeup, especially that smudgy eyeliner!
Seriously, the edgy eyes and messy half-back hair are sheer perfection. Take a black kohl eye pencil (I like to use Maybelline's kajal version); line your upper and lower lashlines as well as your waterline; and smudge with a q-tip or your finger. Spritz your hair with a texturizing finishing spray, and pair with gigantic headphones. Dare I say it? A ca-awesome!
Here's Pop Sugar's video on beauty tips from the hair designer for Pitch Perfect 2, and it has some great tips for your hair during the hot and humid summer weather that's starting up.
Got some inspiration from the Barden Bellas? Let me know what your favorite look is in the comments.
Going along with the grunge inspiration from earlier, here's another fab tip from the Charlie XCX beauty shoot from March Cosmo:
"Channel your inner Kate Moss (after a long, rowdy night with Johnny Depp) by rocking liner that's deliberately smudged below your lower lash line. Easier than pulling a bender: Use a soft pencil... to rim inner eyes, then sweep a smudge brush dipped in charcoal shadow back and forth at your lash lines for a worn-in effect."

Applying a cream or kajal pencil to your waterline might be easier for a beginner, and if it isn't smudgy enough, use a q-tip to really give it that lived-in look. Don't forget to apply mascara on your lower lashes as well to really emphasis the liner and make the look pop! Honestly, this is one of my everyday makeup looks.
