Game of Thrones Themed Hair and Makeup Trends
Few shows have left their mark as much a Game of Thrones. This fantasy franchise took on a life of its own when it hit the silver screen in 2011. By the time the show finished in 2019, everyone was glued to their screens to see who would end up on the Iron Throne. The hype around the franchise was just as big as the likes of Marvel or Harry Potter. We can’t miss this opportunity to write about Game of Thrones themed hair and makeup trends.
It’s no surprise that we took more than a little inspiration from the show’s star-studded cast. The makeup looks from Game of Thrones were so popular that they even led to a collaboration between the franchise and Urban Decay to mark the final season. As the most popular show of the 2010s, Game of Thrones continues to influence hair and makeup trends today.
Are you style dreaming of Westeros? These 3 Game of Thrones-inspired beauty trends will help you channel your inner Daenerys Targaryen or Sansa Stark.
1. Half-up, half-down hairstyles

Anyone who has binge-watched Game of Thrones will have seen that most of the noble ladies have one thing in common. No, it’s not a desire to end up on the Iron Throne. It’s their hairstyle. The classic half-up, half-down style is simple, yet intricate. It appears on everyone from Sansa to Melisandre and Yara Greyjoy.
While this hairstyle is perfect for everyday wear, you can elevate it with a hair accessory. The half-up section typically sits at the base of your head, letting you experiment with a vintage comb or a velvet bow for a glamorous finish.
2. Strong brows

When it comes to makeup on Game of Thrones, most of the female characters kept their looks fairly natural. If there’s a beauty trend that stands out from the crowd, it’s Daenerys’ strong brows. Well-groomed brows are the focal point of any makeup look, whether or not you’re a Game of Thrones fan.
Even with her platinum blonde wig, Daenerys brows stayed on the darker side to help warm up her complexion. A regular brow wax and a thin brow pencil or gel–like Glossier’s Boy Brow – can help you recreate her sharp brows at home.
3. Braids aren’t just for long hair
Arya Stark is one of the most famous fictional characters in the Game of Thrones franchise. If there’s anyone we were rooting for, it was the youngest daughter of the Stark clan. During season 6, Arya showed us that braids aren’t just for long hair.
While hiding in Braavos, the character wore a hairstyle that incorporated two French braids that were pinned to the side of her head, starting at the nape of her neck. The braids finished in two buns that sat at her forehead for a sleek look.
Game of Thrones shows that beauty inspiration can come from the fictional world – just as much as the real world. Want to experiment with a Game of Thrones-inspired look?
