Truth time: I love trends. Seriously. I can’t get enough. Summer makeup trends? Done ‘em all. Winter nail trends? I’m literally wearing red French manicure tips right now. So I’m more than delighted to be coming to you with all the best makeup trends of 2022. I’m talking fluffy brows, two-toned eyeshadow, and a fresh take on the cat-eye look. As someone who writes about trends on the reg, I can tell you that these makeup trends are good.
And listen, obviously no trend is permanent (cut to my gothic Facebook albums, circa 2010). But as we’ve learned over the last two pandemic years (!), life is uncertain, and while we could skip fun things like neon eyeliner and statement blush out of fear of our future selves (hi, 2032 me), that’s just no way to live. So if you’re ready to join me and my very trendy curtain bangs on this 2022 makeup trend ~journey~, just keep scrolling for the 13 prettiest looks coming this year.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: This neon eyeliner trend for 2022
Neon eyeliner is one of my favorite makeup trends for 2022, because it can be a whole makeup look on its own, no eyeshadow blending required. It might take you a few tries to perfectly recreate, but a felt-tip liquid eyeliner will help you draw on a clean line without any tugging or skipping on your eyelid.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: Extra-fluffy brows in 2022
There are a few ways to master this super-fluffy brow: (1) get your eyebrows laminated, (2) DIY them with the soap brows hack (my personal, more budget-friendly strategy), or (3) comb them up with a clear or tinted eyebrow gel (I like Milk Makeup Kush Fiber Eyebrow Gel and Patrick Ta Major Brow Lamination Gel). The bigger and more drawn out, the better.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: Bold lips for 2022
Nope, the bold lip trend isn’t going away anytime soon. The only thing changing? When we wear it. Swipe on your brightest and boldest color (like this vibrant red lipstick on Selena Gomez) for not just first dates and parties, but also for WFH meetings and running errands. And if you’re not sure which shade works best for you, start by narrowing down your skin undertones first, which will help you choose between a warmer or cooler toned lip shade.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: This minimalist winged eyeliner trend for 2022
NGL, I’m so grateful for this minimalist winged eyeliner trend, since I’ve never been able to successfully master the full cat-eye. This one is way easier to pull off—just pick up a liquid or crayon eyeliner in your fav color (I’m personally obsessed with the gold eyeliner on Camila Cabello) and draw a small triangle on the outer corners of your eyes.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: Green eyeshadow in 2022
ICYMI, green is having a major moment RN. For most of my life, it was the most ignored color ever, and now I can’t get enough—and can you blame me? Think of the variations: Lime! Mint! Army! The choices are truly limitless, but if you go with any of them, including this blended forest-green eyeshadow, you’ll be very ~on trend~ this year.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: Glossy lips for 2022
What I don’t mean by glossy lips: overly sticky lip gloss that’s bound to catch any and every rogue hair it can find. What I do mean: Lip gloss with just a touch of pigment and shimmer (like this warm gold) that’ll give your lips a soft glow.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: This blurred eyeliner makeup trend
As much as I loved a sharp, crisp eyeliner moment, I can’t stop looking at this diffused winged eye look for 2022. It’s soft, it’s subtle, and it’s very easy to recreate. Instead of reaching for your liquid or pencil liners, pack a teal eyeshadow on a small eyeshadow brush, then blend it along the inner corner of your eyes, extending it out into a wing that almost touches your eyebrows. Re-load your brush and re-trace the line, until you’re left with a softly opaque finish.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: Statement blush in 2022
Whoever said visible blush mean you were wearing ~too much~ was 100 percent wrong, as evidenced by 2022’s statement blush trend. Still, if you’re a lil worried about toeing the line between statement blush and WTF-worthy blush, opt for an easy-to-blend blush powder formula rather than a liquid blush, then blend it around the edges of your face in a C-shape. Then, for a glowy finish, dab a dot of liquid highlighter along your cheekbones and brow bones.
Yup, the ‘90s are still back, and probs will be every year until forever. One of 2022’s variations? Grunge makeup-inspired burgundy lips. For days when you’re not rocking a ‘90s lip liner moment (more on that below), layer on a bold burgundy lip color like this. Or, for a more lived-in, blurred lip effect, dab your lipstick on the center of your lips, then smudge and blend it out with your finger.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: This glitter makeup trend in 2022
2022 loves glitter. On your eyes, on your cheeks, on your lips—there’s no wrong way to use it. Want to look like a human disco ball? Grab a roll-on glitter stick and run it over your high points (like your cheekbones). Or, if you want a more soft-glam look like Saoirse Ronan’s, dab a cream glitter eyeshadow across your lids with your finger or a small eyeshadow brush.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: Two toned eyeshadow for 2022
In 2022, you don’t have to choose just one color for your eyeshadow, and you certainly don’t have to stick to symmetry either. Try playing around with mixed pastels, like this blue and green, or dip into a neon eyeshadow palette and opt for a hot pink and bright yellow. There are no rules, bbs.
Makeup Looks, Ideas & Trends: Lined lips for 2022
Lip liner is the key to an ombré lip look like Ashley Graham’s. Trace the edges of your lips with a lip pencil two shades darker than your lipstick or natural lip shade, layer on your lipstick or lip balm, then gently melt the two together with your (clean!) finger.
2021 Makeup Trends: The 15 Prettiest Eye, Cheek, and Lip Ideas of the Year
I know we’re all ready to move on to next year, but before we go jumping into the newness of 2022, let’s take a second to reflect on our favorite beauty moments from the past 12 months, shall we? Just because we’re beyond eager to try all the 2022 makeup trends doesn’t mean we’re quite ready to part with our favorite looks and products of 2021, right? We rounded up a few of our favorite beauty looks below, but don’t think of any of these as a last call, get-it-while-you-can kinda thing. Instead, consider this list a recap of all the trends we currently love and will bring with us into the new year.
Some styles are classic and will be a favorite for years to come, while others might have us cringing a decade from now. Ya never know! But love them forever or not, these are these looks that will go down in history as the most popular makeup trends of 2021. Here, 15 makeup looks that defined the year and the products you need to try the trends if you haven’t already.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Eyeshadow as Eyeliner Trend
A TikTok makeup favorite, the soft, diffused eyeliner trend bumped liquid liner from the top spot of popular eye makeup trends this year. Overall, eye makeup in 2021 was less about sharp, precise cut creases or bold cat eyes, and instead more about soft, seamless shadows and lots of blending.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Bold Blush Look of 2021
If we were to choose one product to represent 2021 makeup, our vote would be for blush. Liquid blush, cream blush, powder blush—we saw it all, and we saw it all over Instagram. The bold blush look was a big summer 2021 makeup trend (makes sense), but it was just as popular the rest of the year, so don’t be surprised if you see rosy cheeks, temples, and noses in 2022 too.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Soft Glam Makeup Trend
Glam makeup will always be A Thing. But in 2021, soft glam was the version we saw (and loved) the most. An ethereal take on full-glam makeup, soft glam is the perfect winter makeup trend to wear to all your holiday parties. Think neutral eyes, traceless foundation, and nude lipstick.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The 2021 Monochromatic Makeup Trend
We love a monochromatic moment, and monochrome makeup certainly had its moment this year. One of spring 2021’s biggest makeup trends, this look makes it easy to find eye, cheek, and lip colors that goes together because, well, it’s all the same color.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Soft, Glowing Complexion of 2021
Whether you prefer a full-coverage foundation or the max you’ll do is a tinted moisturizer, the end goal for 2021 was the same: healthy, glowing skin. This year, the trends moved even further away from sharp contour and thick, cakey makeup to light layers and seamlessly blended complexion products.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Fluffy Brows Trend in 2021
Every few years, we get a new brow trend that we collectively are really into at the moment but really might regret later (lookin’ at you, 2014 IG brows), and only time will tell! The year 2021 was all about fluffy, brushed-up brows with straighter tails, so it’s no wonder why soap brows (a fall makeup trend we saw on the runways) and brow lamination services are so popular rn.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Multicolor Eyes Makeup Trend of 2021
What do you get when you combine purple, pink, yellow, and orange? This gorgeous multicolor eyeshadow look. All you need is a neutral-colored eye primer (it’ll prevent whatever shadows you layer on top from fading or smearing) and a palette full of vibrant shades.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Burgundy Lip Look of 2021
There’s no denying that lipstick made its long-awaited comeback in 2021. The trendiest color to wear? Deep burgundy. It’s edgy, moody, and unexpected yet surprisingly wearable no matter your skin tone.
Between the clean and dewy skin, lightly flushed cheeks, neutral-colored lips, brushed up brows, and fluttery lashes, we clearly could not get enough of the natural makeup trend in 2021. Combine all those looks into one to create this gorgeous no-makeup makeup look. Wear it day or night, for work or weekend; either way, you’ll look stunning.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The 2021 Sequin Makeup Trend
Even though no-makeup makeup def had its moment, don’t forget about all the sparkly accents we saw this year too. These star-studded lids are proof that you don’t need to go wild with shadow or liner to create an epic eye makeup look.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Red-Orange Lip Look of 2021
There were no boring red lipstick moments in 2021—only fun ones. Whether in a matte or satin finish, we saw plenty of the bold crimson shade that has warm, orangey undertones. Bonus points if you also paired it with flushed cheeks and fluffy brows, as shown here.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Electric Eye Look for 2021
The graphic eyeliner trend isn’t going anywhere (trust me). Go ahead and swap out your regular black liquid eyeliner for a bright colorful one and use it to draw a crisp cat eye or abstract design. Don’t be afraid to tap a tiny bit of shimmery pigments on your inner corners to brighten up the whole look.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Lavender Makeup Trend of 2021
Purple eye makeup had a serious moment in 2021, and that, my friends, is an understatement. Whether it was a soft, muted wash of color or a bright, bold smokey eye, the love for lilac was strong.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The 2021 Berry-Stained Lips
Berry-stained lips like these are low-maintenance but high-impact, and that’s why they were so popular in 2021. The best thing about lip tints or lip stains is they don’t budge and will stay put through drinking, eating, and hours under a face mask.
2021 Makeup looks Trends: The Trendy Glossy Eyes and Lips
I was (and still am) fully obsessed with the glossy eye and lip makeup trend for 2021 and lemme guess, so were you?! Just use a neutral cream color on your eyes and lips (you can even dab a little on your cheekbones) and top it off with a multitasking face gloss for a wet-like sheen.
41 Easy Holiday Makeup Looks
Some say it’s the after-party that really matters, but for makeup lovers, it’s all about the pre-party. The in-between party (aka the actual party) is only half of the fun. Getting ready is an event all its own, and the ones who go all out — like the red carpet-trotting crowd — really go all out. For the rest of us civilians, party season is when we finally get the chance to play with the bold and glittery palettes that spend most of their time sitting untouched at the back of your beauty drawer to create gorgeous holiday makeup looks.
An evening event is an excuse to go wild with experimental glam — we’re talking holiday hairstyles and Christmas nail art, too — and if you’re the type of person whose usual makeup M.O. is more on the no-makeup makeup spectrum, the holidays provide the perfect opportunity to test sparkly shadow, bold lipstick, or some combination of the two. Just call it a friendly competition with the festive decor.
“Metallic eyes will be making a statement at holiday parties this year,” says Terri Bryant, makeup artist and founder of Guide Beauty, who loves using jewel-tone amethyst and emerald shades as much as icy blues to create a foiled effect across the lid. “You can create two-toned looks and multi-faceted smoky eyes, or sweep one shade across the lid and add mascara for a statement look without lots of effort.”
But you don’t have to go all out just because you’re going out. Makeup artist and Beia founder Brittany Lo predicts a lot of partygoers will choose a fresh-faced look with a bold lip for a touch of drama. “Even if a holiday party is in a cozy apartment, a red or berry lip always has an excuse to make an appearance this time of year,” she says.
Just in case you needed a reason to RSVP yes to those holiday party invites, here’s 41 of them — bookmark this page for party makeup inspiration to plan your beauty looks throughout all your festivities. If it’s a bust, at least you get to practice your smoky-eye skills. Even if you’re not the glitter makeup or red lipstick type, there are plenty of metallics, mattes, and brights for you to work with. Scroll through this list of excellent holiday party makeup looks, each of which has been red carpet-vetted and celebrity-approved.
Makeup Looks: Sparkly Purple Eyes: Dua Lipa
Nothing feels quite as festive as sparkles, and that’s true of any color. Implement superpowered shimmer into your holiday makeup look with a pretty purple eye shadow (or two, for depth and dimension) that has a glistening, nearly metallic finish — we love E.L.F.’s Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow in Purple Reign for achieving this effect. And to make it last? “Apply lid primer to lock shadow and liner in place,” Bryant says. Keep the rest of the look neutral, and consider a warmer lip and blush like Dua Lipa did to create an interesting contrast with the cooler purple tones.
Makeup Looks: Classic Bombshell Glam: Jennifer Hudson
There is never a wrong time or place for a classic makeup look, but a holiday party is an especially right time and place. Jennifer Hudson’s example checks off all the bombshell boxes: a deeply shaded crease on otherwise lightly-shadowed lids, black liquid liner, fluttery lashes, rosy cheeks, and, of course, red lips. To get that exact same sultry shade, try Bobbi Brown’s Luxe Matte Lip Color in Red Carpet, which makeup artist Ernesto Casillas defined using the brand’s Sangria Lip Pencil.
Makeup Looks: Smoky Indigo Eyes: Angela Bassett
Smoky eyes used to be just a gray-shadow thing, but there’s truly no limit to the colors that can be implemented into the dramatic look, especially for dressy holiday soirées. Angela Bassett’s indigo interpretation is unexpected yet absolutely perfect, with its intense pigment fully enveloping her top and bottom lids. You can get the same look with the Lancôme Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in Bleu Hypnôtique.
Makeup Looks: Almost-Black Oxblood Lips: Phoebe Bridgers
Goths love a good holiday party, too. But if full-blown black lipstick feels a little more Halloween than Hanukkah, you can get the same intensity from another extra-dark shade: oxblood. To achieve the look, Phoebe Bridgers layered two deep purply-brown hues: Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu under Dior Rouge Dior lipstick in 886 Enigmatic. For the most staying power and smoothest-looking application possible, “Exfoliate lips and apply a lip stain prior to lipstick,” Bryant advises.
Makeup Looks: Subtle Green Liner and Lids: Yara Shahidi
When you think of green eye makeup in the context of holiday-party makeup, it may seem a little too on-the-nose. But despite its inherent conspicuousness and Christmas-color status, green can be worn with a glamorous subtlety. Just look at Yara Shahidi: Her soft wash of pine-green Dior Mono Couleur Couture eye shadow in Lucky Clover is further softened and simultaneously made more festive with a swipe of the same shadow in the shade Gold Star. Add a black liquid-liner wing to create classic drama.
Makeup Looks: Blotted Berry Lips: Eiza González
Although berry can be a very bold lip color, a little blotting and blurring can give it a sweet effect that still feels party-ready. Pair it, as Eiza González did, with dewy skin and lightly shimmery, pale mauve eye shadow, which complements the lip color without stealing its soft-spoken thunder. And if you’re concerned about the blurring effect turning into an unwanted bleeding effect, Lo has a great tip: “I love a bright lip this time of year, but if you tend to worry about it smudging, I recommend using a concealer to clean up the lip lines with a baby Beautyblender, and your lipstick will last all night.”
Makeup Looks: Graphic Gold Corners: Lil Nas X
Even if you want to go completely fresh-faced to a holiday party, you can add a tiny touch of holiday glam to your look with a bit of graphic gold near your eyes. We especially love how Lil Nas X’s wings turn inward at the top to create cute corners. If you don’t have access to custom-cut adhesive appliqués like his, you can draw them on with a liquid liner line Revlon So Fierce! Chrome Ink in Bronzage.
Makeup Looks: Classic Red Lips: Anya Taylor-Joy
Red is one of the colors most closely associated with Christmas, so no one will ever fault you for incorporating it into your holiday-party look — especially if you opt for a classic red lip and otherwise low-key makeup. Anya Taylor-Joy went with Rouge Dior Ultra Care Liquid Lipstick in 999 — Dior’s most famous shade of red — and wore a wash of champagne eye shadow to add some shimmer to the look while still letting her lips be the focus of the look.
Makeup Looks: Layered Liner: Michaela Coel
It may take a little practice, but layered liner — in which you stack a contrasting color atop a swipe of liner closer to your lash line — is a show-stopping look that will impress your fellow partygoers. Michaela Coel went with neon yellow over black wings, but you can wear absolutely any two contrasting colors of your choice. (Yes, even red with green or white with blue if you’re feeling especially on-theme.)
Makeup Looks: Iridescent Eyes: Zoey Deutch
Iridescence is one of the most magical ways to wear shimmer, and it captures that ethereal wintriness we all look forward to during the holidays. Zoey Deutch drew more attention to her iridescent lavender eye shadow — Sephora Collection Colorful Eyeshadow in Magnolia Garden would be a great similar pick — with extra-bold, black cat-eye wings. Don’t be afraid to wear just a clear or nude gloss on your lips — your lids will be doing all the eye-catching.
Makeup Looks: Emerald Smoky Eyes: Lucy Hale
This season, trade your go-to “statement lip” for a “statement eye” instead. This bold look can be achieved using any pigmented color, but to create Lucy Hale’s Poison Ivy vibes, makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan used multiple different shades of green, including Chanel Longwear Créme Eyeshadow in Vederame all over the lid and under the lash line.
Makeup Looks: Cocoa Lipstick: Hannah Bronfman
Hannah Bronfman’s vampy, cocoa-colored lipstick and glimmering eye shadow combo prove that yes, you can wear both of your favorite holiday products at the same time. For a similar lip look, try Makeup by Mario Ultra Suede Lipstick in Maurice.
Makeup Looks: Glitter Lids: Margot Robbie
For an updated twist on the usual glitzy eye makeup that tends to run rampant on the party circuit, steal a page from Margot Robbie’s beauty book and scatter a glitter pigment across your eyes, extending it well beyond the outer corners. Keep the rest of your look minimal — she donned pink blush and a matching lip tint — to really make the sparkle stand out.
Makeup Looks: Kohl Cat Eye: Lily Aldridge
If glitzy eye makeup or bright red lips aren’t quite your thing, there are still plenty of ways to get into the celebratory spirit. Lily Aldridge shows off a casually cool, sixties-inspired look by way of nude-brown lipstick and dark-rimmed cat eyes, paired with loose, effortless waves.
Makeup Looks: Gold-Flecked Eyes: Bella Hadid
While your party look likely won’t include a 10-pound veil like Bella Hadid’s Met Gala glam did, there are certainly other elements of her style worth stealing. Using a twinkly gold liner (like E.L.F.’s Stardust Eyeliner), trace your top lashes and continue to the line around the tear ducts, creating a small “V” around the inner corners — an effect that catches the light against an otherwise neutral palette.
Makeup Looks: All Red Everything: Olivia Munn
Give the monochromatic trend a festive spin by complimenting crimson lips with a dusting of blush — we love Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Grateful — and shadow in similar shades. Hell, match it to your dress while you’re at it.
Makeup Looks: Metallic Mermaid Eyes: Duckie Thot
Between Duckie Thot’s glowing skin, glossy lips, and emerald eyelids, it’s hard to choose which part of this look is our favorite. But to copy her jewel-toned, mermaid-inspired shadow, try Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow in Bella Emerald.
Makeup Looks: Romantic Goth: Lily Collins
To create Lily Collins’s darkly romantic beauty look, makeup artist Fiona Stiles mixed shadow shades from Lancôme’s Les Toppings and Auda[City] palettes. Boldly voluminous lashes bring the drama, making it equal parts glam and goth. If you aren’t blessed with naturally full arches like Collins, here’s a guide to faking it with an arsenal of brow products.
Makeup Looks: Gilded Nudes: Jennifer Lawrence
Think nude but expensive. If gold eye shadow on its own feels meh, mix things up with a bit of bronze, smoky liner, and a warm, chestnut color on your lips, like Merit Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil in Taupe.
Makeup Looks: Metallic Pastel Shadow: Priyanka Chopra
This look gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase “baby blue eyes,” by way of the periwinkle shadow on Priyanka Chopra’s lids. One shade we love? Mineral Essence Shimmer Eye Shadow in Blue Skies.
Makeup Looks: Frosty Silver: Gigi Hadid
As Gigi Hadid proves, glitter can be a neutral. She wore a gradient of silver and gunmetal sparkle from her lash line to just above her creases and paired it with nude lips and dewy skin for a look fit for an ethereal ice queen.
Makeup Looks: All-Over Jewel Tones: Rowan Blanchard
The thought of pairing purple and blue eye shadow with red lipstick may at first make you balk, but Rowan Blanchard shows how cool it looks to wear multiple jewel tones at once. This gem-inspired look works so flawlessly because makeup artist Amy Stozzi used a ruby lipstick with cool undertones, which served as the perfect complement to the sapphire and amethyst shades on Rowan’s eyelids.
Makeup Looks: Cranberry Lips: Jasmine Sanders
A swipe of a dramatic lip color like the matte cranberry shade Sanders wears here paired with silver shadow is all you need to make an everyday look feel party-ready. Try Pat McGrath’s MatteTrance Lipstick in McMenamy for a deep, matte wine-colored shade.
Makeup Looks: Blue Wings: Amandla Stenberg
Red and green may get all the hype when it comes to creating holiday party glam, but Amandla Stenberg proves that a swipe of blue shadow can be just as festive. To mimic their cobalt cat eye, try mixing the shimmery shades from the Stila Vivid and Vibrant Eyeshadow Duo in Sapphire.
Makeup Looks: Red Eyeliner: Emmy Rossum
For a wow-worthy event look that you can master in two minutes flat (so long as you’ve got a steady cat-eye hand), copy Emmy Rossum’s bright winged liner, swipe on some volumizing mascara, a matte nude lip, and you’ll be good to go. Try Nyx’s Vivid Brights Liner or the Allure Best of Beauty-winning Dior’s On Stage Liquid Eyeliner in Matte Rusty.
Makeup Looks: Pink on Pink: Kelsea Ballerini
Party makeup does not exclude low-key beauty. With glossy lips, lids, and cheeks, Kelsea Ballerini’s creamy pink look is a true triple threat, perfect for any cocktail party or evening event when you want to glow without necessarily stealing the show.
Makeup Looks: Smoky Gold: Nicole Richie
The holiday season is the perfect time to test out a gilded smoky eye, shown here on Nicole Richie. To get the look, try playing with the sparkly shades from Natasha Denona’s Gold Eyeshadow Palette and finish it off with false lashes and a nude lip.
Makeup Looks: Copper Tones: Emily Ratajkowski
Emily Ratajkowski looks like a Klimt painting come to life with the perfect all-gold-everything beauty look, including shimmery nude lips, bronzed and highlighted cheeks, and a warm, shimmery copper shadow rimming her lower lashes.
Makeup Looks: Bejeweled Brows: Cynthia Erivo
Bring the usual brushed-out brows up 1,000 notches with some rhinestone details. Cynthia Erivo paired her blinged-out arches with shimmery plum eye shadow and lips in a darker version of the fruity tone.
Makeup Looks: Pink Eye Shadow: Zoë Kravitz
For an evening look that reads elegant and fresh-faced, decorate your lids with a coral-pink shadow — like MAC Eye Shadow in Pink Venus — and give your lips the same rosy treatment.
Makeup Looks: Purple Lips: Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita Nyong’o makes a strong case for iridescent purple lipstick fit for a queen. Makeup artist Nick Barose created the shade (which he calls “royal purple”) by layering blue eyeliner underneath Lancôme L’Absolu Gloss in 363 Insolente.
Makeup Looks: XL Lashes and Glossy Lips: Lady Gaga
To create Lady Gaga’s icy glam, makeup artist Sarah Tanno used Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Highliner in Blacquer, See-Quins in Glam Noir, and Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara on her eyes and the brand’s Enamored Gloss Stick in Mocha Choco-Lata! on her lips.
Makeup Looks: Floating Cat Eyes: Sara Sampaio
Try something totally different with your everyday cat eye by drawing it above your lid, like Sara Sampaio, instead of connecting it to your lash line. The “floating cat eye” may just be the next negative space eyeliner and we are more than here for it.
Makeup Looks: Sunset Eyes: Issa Rae
Using multiple metals in the same look is an easy way to create the sort of depth that will have people stopping you over hors d’oeuvres to ask, “What eye makeup is that?” To re-create Issa Rae’s glistening eye shadow slope start with a base of bronze, then dust a metallic berry shade from the center of your lid to the outer corners. Finish things off with a complementary berry stain on your lips and cheeks.
Makeup Looks: Classic Cat Eyes: Jessica Alba
An oldie but a goodie: The traditional take on the cat eye is always party-perfect whether you’re short on time or just don’t feel like trying that hard. For an extra-sharp wing, try one of our faves, Pat McGrath Labs’ Perma Precision Liquid Liner. Sweep your hair into a middle-parted low pony to put your expertly flicked eyes and statement earrings on full display.
Makeup Looks: Glacial-Blue Lids: Kelly Rowland
To make the usual smoky eye even more party-perfect, accent the inner corners with a watery blue color the way Kelly Rowland did. She lined her eyes with a silver gray (for a similar look, sample the shades in CoverGirl’s Smoky TruNaked Eyeshadow Palette) and painted her lips with the perfect neutral shade to match her dewy skin.
Makeup Looks: Soft Glam: Jenna Dewan
Jenna Dewan masters old-Hollywood glam in rosy lips and a heavy pat of blush, while the subtle S-curves in her hair make it look like she walked straight off the red carpet in the 1950s.
Makeup Looks: Rose All-Over: MJ Rodriguez
MJ Rodriguez goes all out in rose tones with a glossy lip and glowy skin, giving the look an edge with pink smoky eyes and dramatic lashes.
Makeup Looks: Fuchsia Lipstick: Gemma Chan
Try bold lips with a hint of berry, Gemma Chan style — we love Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. in Velvet Underground — and then balance the fun color with some edge by painting on a gleaming, silver eye.
Makeup Looks: Disco Lids: Emma Stone
When it comes to party glam, there is no such thing as too much shimmer. Give your eyes Emma Stone’s disco-ball treatment by sweeping your favorite sparkling shade up to your brow bone and underneath your lash line and pair with a peachy pout.
Smoky navy eye shadow — Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeshadow in Charged is gorgeous — sheer berry lips, and a braid crown — it’s an evening look but a fun evening look, you know?
