Bleached eyebrows. Black and purple shades blended over the eyelids. Flawless contour accentuating chiseled cheekbones.
Since returning to the limelight for the press tour and red carpet events of Wednesday Season 2, Jenna Ortega has wholeheartedly embraced her gothic beauty transformation – and the change is truly captivating.
While some critics view the transformation with concern, the truth is that Ortega is merely paying a high-fashion tribute to her character, and she has never appeared more in command.
From bold, dark vampy lips to grungy, smudged eyeshadow, and contour that really stands out, her transformation is both a mood and a carefully crafted lookbook. Here’s a detailed list of the exact products fueling Jenna Ortega’s goth-girl transformation.
Base Makeup
Dior Forever Hydra Nude Foundation
Getting Jenna Ortega’s iconic goth glam look begins with a flawless base that appears almost otherworldly. To achieve that porcelain, lit-from-within glow, her makeup artist opted for Dior’s Forever Hydra Nude Foundation.
This foundation provides buildable coverage with a lightweight, skin-like feel that enhances rather than conceals. It perfectly balances between matte and radiant, letting the rest of her striking look – bleached brows, edgy shadow, and dark lips – shine without clashing with heavy skin.
Dior Forever Hydra Nude Foundation retails for RM359.10 at Zalora.
Dior Forever Skin Perfect
On top of the Dior Forever Hydra Nude Foundation, the Dior Forever Skin Perfect was essential in enhancing Ortega’s base – it blurred imperfections, provided just the right amount of mattification, and secured that porcelain-smooth finish that’s crucial for her gothic makeover.
Its soft-focus effect balanced out the boldness of her dark eye makeup and striking lips, lending the overall look a sleek, editorial vibe. This product doesn’t shout for attention; instead, it makes the whole appearance feel more polished, refined, and totally ready for the camera.
Dior Forever Skin Perfect retails for RM295 and is available at all Dior boutiques and counters, as well as Sephora.
Dior Forever Skin Correct
To enhance and shape as necessary, Ortega’s beauty crew opted for Dior Forever Skin Correct – a full-coverage concealer that really puts in the work. Applied thoughtfully beneath the eyes and on the high points of her face, it provided a gentle lift and added depth without sacrificing the skin’s natural look.
Its creamy consistency merges flawlessly with the foundation underneath, contributing to that polished, nearly air-brushed appearance that stands up well in flash photography.
In a look characterised by striking contrasts such as light skin paired with dark features, this concealer serves as a quiet yet crucial supporting element.
Dior Forever Skin Correct retails for RM210 and is available at all Dior boutiques and counters, as well as Sephora.
Dior Forever Skin Contour Stick
If looks could kill (and in Wednesday’s world, they likely do), the sculpt on Jenna Ortega’s cheeks would be the weapon of choice.
Dior’s Forever Skin Contour acted as the stealthy assassin in her red carpet routine – providing a cool-toned, shadowy definition that gave her face that freshly brooding, marble-like finish.
Instead of going for an overly dramatic contrast, the creamy formula blends effortlessly into the skin, melting into her base to create lift and depth without any harsh lines.
When combined with her bleached brows and berry-stained lips, it enhances the subtle intensity of her transformation, elevating the entire look to an editorial level.
Call it the Thing that pulled the whole look together.

Eye Makeup
Dior Forever Glow Maximizer (#Pearly)
Even in the realm of goth glam, a touch of light can make a big difference – and Ortega’s makeup artist totally gets this with Dior’s Forever Glow Maximizer in Pearly.
Applied to her eyelids and the inner corners, this gentle pearlescent highlight brings just the right amount of radiance to enhance her smoky, shadowy eyes.
It’s a soft shimmer that works well with the dark tones without being too much – like a subtle acknowledgement from Wednesday herself, showing that even in the darkness, a hint of sparkle can be eerily beautiful.

Dior Diorshow Maximizer 4D
To achieve lashes that are as mesmerising as Wednesday’s gaze, Ortega’s beauty squad relies on the Diorshow Maximizer 4D.
This product is a unique blend of lash primer and topcoat that provides volume, length, and a shiny finish all at once. It’s the magic behind those fluttery yet bold lashes that perfectly accentuate her smouldering eyes with effortless flair.
Whether it’s applied under mascara for that extra boost or used alone for a subtle shine, this versatile gem makes sure Ortega’s look stays unforgettable – intense, sharp, and just a touch mysterious, much like the girl we all adore watching.

Dior Diorshow Overvolume (#Black)
Ortega’s lashes don’t just hint – they shout goth glam, all thanks to Dior’s Diorshow Overvolume Mascara in Black.
When layered over the Diorshow Maximizer 4D, this luxurious, velvety formula adds serious volume and depth, turning her lashes into striking, fluttering works of art that grab attention with every look.
The combination is simply perfect – the Maximizer prepares and conditions, while the Overvolume provides vibrant colour and lift, resulting in eyes that mesmerise with each blink.

With smudges along the lash line, this cool-toned grey gives definition without the weight of black, creating that diffused, lived-in drama for her eyes.
This eyeliner is waterproof, long-lasting, and blends effortlessly, embodying the essence of sleepless nights and high fashion at the same time. True to Wednesday’s style, it’s moody, modern, and perfectly mysterious.
