Independence Day Makeup Ideas
Here are five simple yet classy Independence Day makeup ideas for eyes and face that you can create at home and pay tribute to the country in your own unique way.
1. Tricoloured-Inspired Eye Makeup
Instead of applying tricolour on your cheeks, you can paint your eyes instead using eyeshadow. Start this Independence Day eye makeup look by filling in your brows with a slim-angled tip eyebrow pencil that will help you achieve defined brows. For the tricolour-inspired Independence Day eye makeup, first apply an orange eyeshadow on your upper eyelid and follow this step with a green eyeshadow and smudge it on the lower lash line. This will help display the colours of the flag. Next, use orange-beige lipstick to complete your 15th August makeup look.
2. Winged Eye Look with Eyeshadow
Add drama to your Independence Day eye makeup by using the orange eyeshadow on the crease of your eyes and smudge it well. Next, create a half cut crease with concealer and set it using white eyeshadow. Follow this step by creating a winged eyeliner look using green eyeshadow. Use a kajal to define your eyes, and complete this easy yet glam 15th August makeup look like a pro. To give this Independence Day eyeshadow look a perfect finish, pair it with orange lipstick.
3. Gorgeous Green Eyeshadow Look
Looking for a unique Independence Day eye makeup look? Here’s the inspo you were looking for! For this look, apply green eyeshadow all over your eyelids and use a silver eyeliner pencil on the waterline. Finish your Independence Day eye makeup by using mascara to achieve lifted, thick, and long lashes. Opt for a coral lipstick shade to complete this stunning Independence Day makeup look.
4. Quirky Eyeshadow Look
Ready to go the extra mile? This alluring 15th August makeup look idea will add a touch of mismatched glam to your look. Kick-start your Independence Day eyeshadow look by shaping your brows. Apply orange eyeshadow on the eyelid and waterline of the right eye. Next, apply green eyeshadow on the eyelid and waterline of the left eye. Use blue eyeliner to line your upper lash line and brighten your eyes further. Do not forget, bold and striking Independence Day eye makeup can do wonders to your overall look. Complement your Independence Day makeup look with matte pink lipstick that will stay put throughout your Independence Day celebrations.
5. Flag Face with Setting Spray and Eyeshadow
You might have often painted your face with tricolour while in school, but if you’re not sure about using paint on your face, we have the perfect Independence Day makeup idea for you. Start with a quick no-makeup makeup look and enhance the natural colour of your lips by applying a tinted lip balm. Next, dampen your fingers with a setting spray and then dip them in orange, white, and green eyeshadows. Swipe your fingers horizontally across your cheeks to add a touch of patriotism to your makeup look. The setting spray not only keeps these colours on your cheeks for longer but also makes them appear more vibrant. You can go a step further by pairing your look with a navy blue bindi, painting your nails with tricolour, and choosing a classic all-white outfit!
For every Independence Day makeup idea to stand out or look perfect, you need a base makeup to support it. The first step of your base makeup should be using a primer to create a smooth base that keeps your makeup in place all day. Then, apply foundation to create an even complexion and highlight certain parts of your face like your eye contours and the top of your cheekbones with a concealer. You can use the Maybelline Foundation Finder5 tool to find the perfect concealer shade match and use a shade or two lighter to create the brightening effect. If you wish to add some natural colour to your face, apply some blush to the apples of your cheeks.
