Party Makeup Looks & Tutorials

Stand out at your next party with these bold, camera-ready makeup looks. From smokey eyes to editorial glam, we've got the tutorial for you. Party makeup needs to hold up under lights and in photos—according to makeup artists, defined eyes and a matte or satin base photograph best, while too much shimmer or SPF can cause flashback. Pick a look below and follow the steps for an all-night finish.

Tips

  • Prime lids so shimmer and dark shades don't crease.
  • A statement lip or bold eye—pick one focus for balance.
  • Setting spray is non-negotiable for all-night wear.
  • Blot and powder the T-zone before photos to avoid shine.
  • Use a lip color that won't transfer onto glasses or clothes.
