How To Do Party Makeup: 3 Tips
You can style your party makeup however you want-it all depends on the situation as well as the mood you're trying to create. However, there are some things to consider as you are getting party-ready. Here are three tips to help make sure your party makeup is party-approved whether it sparkles, shines, or is understated.
1. Prep Your Skin Well
Using makeup primer as a base doesn't just allow your makeup to glide on more smoothly and evenly: It can also make it last longer. We recommend that you choose a primer that works for your skin type and skin concerns. For individuals who have drier skin, hydrating primers seem to work well; while oilier skin is often best served with mattifying primers.
2. Set Your Look
Setting your makeup will not only make it last longer, it is an important step to take when you are going to be dancing all night! After completing your makeup look, mist your entire face with a generous amount of setting spray to make sure it locks into place.
3. Bring Products For Touch-Ups
Touching up your makeup is an excellent way to help keep your look stay fresh while you are enjoying the celebrations. Just toss a few essentials into your bag, so if anything should smear, you can fix it in a flash.
14 Party Makeup Looks We Love
Now that you've got your party makeup tips, we're ready to share with you 14 gorgeous and fun makeup looks for any festive occasion.
Glossy Lips
Do you have a preference for your lips? Enhance them with Shine Loud High Line Liquid Lip Color. This two-in-one lip gloss has an ultra-pigmented base coat on one end, and a high-shine, non-sticky top coat on the other side. Choose your favorite bold shade of pigmented lip color and apply the base coat on clean, dry lips. After 30 seconds, apply the glossy top coat for instant shine. You’ll have ultra-reflective shine and smudge-proof, transfer-proof wear for up to 16 hours. For the most impact, we recommend using minimal makeup: this look is all about the pigmented pout.
Matte Lips
For those seeking out a more matte lip, try out our XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick. Each of the 32 shades is filled with pigment to give you all-day color with a smooth matte finish. Apply a brighter shade for a bold, no-shine statement or grab a softer nude for a sultry, understated look.
Shimmery Eyes
In our opinion, any time is the right time to wear sparkles, but we believe that last-all-night parties are the prime time. So, let us introduce you to your new best friend: Ultimate Glow Shots. Coming in 13 ultra-pigmented and bold hues, which will leave your lids looking glowy and shimmery. The vitamin C-infused formula has an incredibly long wear formula of 12 hours of sparkle without the mess of flaking or fallout. Wear it straight to your lids on its own, layer it with your favorite NYX Professional Makeup powder eyeshadow, or wear it with our metallic pigments for a seriously lit look!
Winged Eyeliner
Classic and timeless, winged eyeliner is a look you can rock to any party, day or night. For a sharp, defined wing, we recommend using a liquid eyeliner, like our Vivid Matte Liquid Liner in Black. It boasts a thin brush tip for precise liner application, and the ultra-pigmented formula is resistant to flaking, fading, and smudging. If you need help perfecting your wing, turn to our article Eyeliner 101: How To Apply Eyeliner Like a Real Pro—it breaks down all the steps in detail.
Rhinestone Accents
To be a showstopper at the party (and in photos), layer adhesive rhinestone accents into your look. There are lots of different ways to wear your rhinestones that look great, but we love to use them to accent the corners of the eyes.To get started, put a shimmery eyeshadow (we love the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese) on your lids. Then, create a dramatic wing with a liquid eyeliner (our choice is Vivid Matte Liquid Liner) along your upper lash line. Once your liner dries, adhere some tiny rhinestones along the innermost corners of your eyes and the outer edge of your wing. This is a fun and dramatic accent to really get in the party mood..
Rainbow Lids
Social events are the perfect time to try one of those fun makeup looks you've saved on TikTok. With the Ultimate Palette in Brights, you'll have access to as many bright, colorful eyeshadow looks as you can create. A great way to start is by creating your own rainbow gradient on your lids. You can include all the shades of ROYGBIV or choose just two or three. Just be sure to blend between colors for a lovely fade.If you need a little direction, cool colors like blues and greens are often flattering on paler skin, while warm sunset colors like pinks, reds, and yellows help warm up warm skin tones. Just remember, if you're doing a super-bold eye, you'll want to balance it with a neutral lip, so it doesn't all end up competing against one another
Smoky Shadow
A smoky eyeshadow look is another way to get your eyes to stand out. You will need an eyeshadow palette (we suggest the Ultimate Color Palette in Warm Neutrals) and brushes to blend your colors out. Start by sweeping a medium shade over your lid, and then buff a darker shade into your crease to apply interest and definition. Make sure you blend them well; you really want it to look like a soft, smoky yogurt. Then apply a little bit of highlight in your inner corner and a brow bone highlight. If you want it to be even darker, you can take your crease shade and use that along your lower lash line.
