How to Create ‘My Eyes Are The Party’ Makeup Look

Step 1: Brows

Using the Sephora Collection Retractable Brow Pencil, fill in the brows and use the spoolie brush to soften the pigment.

Follow up with the Sephora Collection Brow Wax to set everything in place for the whole night!

Step 2: Eyes

Start by applying the Danessa Myricks Colorfix in shade or two lighter than your complexion to help the eye area stand out.

Then take the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Neutrals eyeshadow palette and begin mapping out the shape of the look.

Place the darker shadows in the inner and outer corners, creating a dramatic wing. Using medium brown tones from the palette, soften any harsh lines for a smooth diffusion.

Lastly, add the lightest shadow on the brow bone and in the very inner corner.

Now it’s time to play with the gold shimmer!

Using the Make-up By Mario Glam Quad in the shade Party, take your finger and dab the gold shadow onto the mobile lid, blending it over the areas where you contoured the eye. This creates a soft and effortless blend.

Top it off with mascara, and the eye look is done!

Step 3: Face

As a fan of underpainting, I like to start by contouring the face - placing contour under the cheekbones, optionally on the forehead, and along the sides of the nose.

Apply concealer to brighten the undereye area, the center of the forehead, and the bridge of the nose.

Follow up with a deep brown-red blush right above the contour and bring it onto the apples of the cheeks.

Next, apply a thin veil of foundation to allow all the previously applied products to blend together and soften the look.

Set the complexion with loose powder and top up with powder bronzer for that extra toasty look.

Add a touch of highlighter to the cheekbones and the bridge of the nose for that Hollywood glow, darling!

Step 4: Lips

Outline the lips with a deep brown lip pencil and soften the line with a lip brush.

Add a nude peachy lipstick and top it off with a red glossy balm.

And just like that, we’ve created a fun, bold, and party-ready look!
