Rainbow Eye Makeup Step By Step Guide

 

While the rainbow eye makeup trend is fun to recreate, it can be a little tricky. A little bit of extra colour here and there can result in a full-blown mess –– pretty, nonetheless. To enhance the rainbow eyeshadow makeup look, opt for nude lipsticks and strong, yet natural-looking eyebrow products with any and every rainbow you attempt.

Step 1 - Apply A Primer

 

Want long-lasting, crease-free eyeshadow? Primer is the answer! A dash of primer is enough to create a seamless base for your eye makeup kit. It also prevents your eyelids from oiling up, as well as keeps your rainbow eyeshadow makeup look intact.

Step 2 - Go With A Dot Of Concealer

 

This step is applicable when you want to get the truest possible colour from your rainbow eye makeup. Dab a little bit of concealer on your eyelids and under your eyes and blend away. The concealer also creates a neutral base for your eyeshadow.

The best part? It’s easy to apply and is long-lasting!

 

Step 3 - Start With Centre

 

Using a fluffy eyeshadow brush, take a glittery blue hue and gently apply it to the centre of your eyelid. Sweep the colour towards the inner corner of your eye and blend it till it looks seamless. You can even use eye chalk and apply it directly to the centre of your eyelid. Take a fluffy brush and blend it into your inner eye. That'll be the next step of your rainbow eye makeup.

Step 4 - Add A Stroke Of Blue And Green

 

Using a matte blue eyeshadow, add a stroke of the hue on the outer corner of your eyelid –– make sure to apply exactly where your glittery blue eyeshadow ends. Now, next to the matte blue, apply the green eyeshadow in the shape of a dramatic wing. And blend away again –– remember to make sure the hues blend together seamlessly.

Tips For Rainbow Eyeshadow Look 

 

While a lot to recreate, the rainbow eye makeup trend needs to follow a few rules in order to get the best looks possible. As this rainbow eye makeup requires a whole lot of makeup products, ensure that you are following these tips. 

 

Always Apply Primer

 

As mentioned before, a primer sets the base for your rainbow eyeshadow look. Whether you’re going in with a matte eyeshadow or an eye sparkle, you need a primer to ensure that it stays in place and doesn’t crease or cake up in time. 

 

Conceal Or Dab A Little Foundation

 

Make sure you neutralise your base with a nude hue. This evens out your skin tone around the lids and ensures that you’re getting the actual colour of the shadow. Sometimes certain hues don’t pick up on certain skin tones, and applying a concealer or foundation helps prevent that. Plus it also aids in making your rainbow eye makeup last longer.

 

Use A Separate Brush

 

Each colour deserves a separate brush so that you don’t mix the hues together, so keep those tools handy.

 

Apply Eyeshadow Before Your Apply Your Foundation

While this is a general makeup rule of thumb to follow, it applies more to this rainbow eye makeup look. If you mess up or any eye makeup falls on your skin, you’re able to clean it easily and cover it up with your foundation. 

 

Go With Cream First Then Powder

 

If you’re using multiple eyeshadow textures, make sure you apply creams first and then powders. This helps the powder stick to the cream and stay put. Use creams to create a shape and then top it off with powders for that added saturation.
