TL;DR

- The Venom makeup look trend.
- Views
- Top video hits 90.1M+ views in 10 days.
- Format
- Two people paint one half of a Venom-inspired face, then come together to complete it.
- Why It Works
- The makeup is intentionally incomplete on its own. The reveal only happens when the two faces meet.
- Use It When
- You have two people who can create a visual “two halves, one thing” moment.
What is this trend about
Since Venom first brought the symbiote’s black-and-white look to the big screen, the character has become instantly recognizable for its giant grin, sharp teeth, and split-color design.

Now, creators are turning the Venom makeup look into a two-person makeup reveal!
Your half looks weird, their half looks weird, then put them together? Suddenly, Venom!

Each person paints one half of the Venom-inspired face, then they lean cheek to cheek to complete the image. The makeup looks unfinished until the two faces come together.
The unfinished Venom look is the reason why the format isn’t really limited to couples. One video recreates the same method with a mother and son, proving that the “two halves one thing” setup works for pretty much any duo.
The formula
The setup is simple:
- Two people: collaboration is key, as both participants contribute to the final look.
- One split “creature” design, and each person gets one half, focusing on the shared character’s elements.
- A final face-to-face reveal completes the image.
You can adapt the design to another character or visual concept of your choice, while keeping the split concept intact.
