15 Pride-Inspired Makeup Looks

1. Rainbow Aura

This gorgeous rainbow look features metallic eyeshadows that go around the lids and under the eyes – perfect if you want something a little bolder! Add some tiny, sparkling gems for an extra dose of fabulous.

2. Rainbow Blush

To add more dimension to your makeup look, add pops of colour to your face with this layered rainbow blush!

Blend the edges of your eyeshadow into your blush for a truly mesmerising effect. It’s guaranteed to turn heads and celebrate your individuality in style.

3. Graphic Rainbow Liner

Forget your classic black eyeliner this month and embrace six vibrant shades across your lids.

Match the gems to the squiggly lines of the rainbow for a more cohesive look! While you’re at it, pair your eye look with a matching manicure.

4. Rainbow Heart

Spread the love this Pride season with a fun rainbow heart! This eye-catching look features a perfectly formed heart traced in wispy white liner, overflowing with vibrant rainbow hues.

Blend the colours seamlessly for a stunning gradient effect. Be warned: This look requires a bit more skill to achieve, but the payoff is totally worth it!

5. Rainbow Highlighter

Get ready to outshine a diamond (sorry, RiRi, we’re competitive) with this blindingly beautiful rainbow highlighter look!

Achieve this look with different highlighters in a range of colours to give you that rainbow glow!

Apply generously, then blend it out for a look that says, “Yes, I woke up like this… a glorious rainbow deity.”

6. Rainbow Eyelashes

Feeling a bit shy about your rainbow pride? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered (well, your lashes at least)!

Swipe on pastel-coloured mascara for a subtle but Pride-appropriate look, or get yourself a pair of rainbow falsies.

7. Iridescent Rainbow Shine

This look is a portal to a shimmer dimension.

For this look to work best, use holographic face paints for easier application. Match the jewels to the colours of your holographic paints to give your look a three-dimensional shine!

8. 90s Rainbow Look

Channel your inner ’90s club kid with a pop of colour on your lids.

Think sunshine yellows, electric blues, or maybe a touch of hot pink. Just a hint, though – we’re keeping the rest of the face chill with a soft, natural base and neutral lips.

9. Full Rainbow Glam

Don’t hold back. This full rainbow makeup look is about embracing every colour in the spectrum.

We’re talking bright shades on the lids, holographic pastels on the cheeks, and maybe even a touch of blue on the lips. If you’re feeling extra, kick things up a notch with colourful tresses.

10. Abstract Artsy Look

Bold shapes and unexpected pops of colour dancing across your lids – this kaleidoscope-like look defies definition.

You can even try this look with different shapes to let your creativity shine. This particular look channels the vibrant hues of the polysexual flag and celebrates the beauty of loving many!

11. Glitter Rainbow Tears

The impact of Euphoria is certainly here to stay.

Start with a fresh face and minimal makeup to let your glitter tears take centre stage. Here’s the key: use large, colourful glitter flakes and lash glue to create those eye-catching tears.

Want to avoid a glittery disaster? A pro-tip! Use a hairdryer on a cool setting to slightly dry the lash glue before adding the glitter. This helps the flakes adhere better and minimises the mess.

12. Rainbow Galaxy

This makeup look is a literal masterpiece.

A swirl of vibrant colours across your face and neck mimics the beauty of a distant galaxy. For those who prefer the versatility of face paints, feel free to swap out your makeup for this look.

Remember, patience is key! Allow each layer of paint to dry completely before adding the next for a truly stunning result.

13. Paint Splatter Rainbow Effect

Ready to add a playful twist to your rainbow makeup? Try this easy-to-do paint splatter technique.

All you need is a toothbrush and some face paint in your favourite rainbow hues. With a light flick of your wrist, splatter the paint across your eyes and cheeks for a carefree, artistic effect.

This simple technique takes things to the next level, and hey, it even doubles as rainbow freckles!

14. Rainbow Road

If you’re a fan of Mario Kart, you’ll love this Rainbow Road makeup look.

This look is all about letting your rainbow shine. Start at your forehead and work your way down your cheeks, using colourful eyeshadows or face paints to create swirling or wavy patterns.

The beauty of this look is its flexibility – experiment and find what makes your Rainbow Road unique!

15. Rainbow Frost

A Y2K revival with a touch of Pride spirit? Count us in.

This chrome rainbow eyeshadow look delivers a stunning, futuristic edge, and the shimmer is the star of the show here.

Use a light touch and blend with your fingers for a seamless, eye-catching effect. Bonus! The chrome finish doubles as a highlighter, adding a touch of extra glow.
