11 Stunning Pride Makeup Looks To Recreate at Home
Pride Month is officially underway, although things are going to be a little different this year. Amid a global pandemic and ongoing protests to support the Black Lives Matter movement, Pride parades have been put on hold. However, that doesn’t mean you should sidestep celebrations altogether. In fact, the LGBTQ beauty community is leading the way with some stunning Pride-themed makeup looks, which are just as fabulous, jaw-dropping, and rainbow-fueled as usual. Plus, many Pride organizations are moving the party online, and these makeup looks are ideal for a virtual Pride parade. Get ready for some major makeup inspo.

Sammy Vanity comes through with the Pride looks year after year, and this rainbow gradient is no exception. We also love the addition of the diamonte on the inner tear duct and decolletage because let’s be real, when it comes to Pride, there’s no such thing as too much!

Myla created this look for Allure in honor of Pride Month and the drag queens who inspire her. To get the look, she used the Kryolan’s TV Paint Stick, $25, as an eyeshadow base, and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Pro Pigment Palette Vol. 4, $60, for her blusher and contour. Then, she finished with the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer, $19. Such a cute look with a message of love!

Accentuating the lower lash line is seriously trending RN. Plus, this look is easy to achieve at home – major bonus. Take note from Deon who has paired his lower-lash rainbow liner with long, sexy lashes for a balanced final look. Don’t forget to line your waterline and snatch those brows.

Neon is a trend we’ll never tire of seeing, especially for Pride. The contrast between the deep black shadow on the outer corner and the neon green tear duct is stunning. Pairing that with floating liner makes this a truly unique look – we know what we’ll be doing this weekend!

Nikkie revealed her trans journey earlier this year and has been celebrated and welcomed into the rainbow family ever since. This stunning rainbow cut crease takes some serious skill, so it’s a good thing Nikkie filmed how she created it for us. Get your rainbow palette at the ready – Nikkie used the incredible pigments from the Juvia’s Place eyeshadow palettes for her look. Shop Juvia’s Place palettes here.

Floating liner is one of 2020’s biggest trends and this look is next level. The intricacy of the six multicolored layers is breathtaking and looks so sexy paired with a glossy lip and jewel-toned highlighter. We’re in love!

Note to selves: yellow and purple is a must! Shea’s makeup skills are legendary and the use of contrasting colors makes this look so eyecatching and fierce AF. Glossy lips and long lashes complete the stunning color palette.

As always, Char Ellesse brings something fresh to the table. We love this low-key Pride vibe – the towel plus the rainbow under-eye patches is the ultimate lockdown vibe.
