Looking for some amazing homecoming makeup inspo? You’re in the right place!
This post is for my teenage girls looking for makeup inspo for homecoming. Spoken as a teenage girl myself, homecoming was so much fun because not only did I get to hang out with my friends, I also got to get glammed up!
I absolutely love doing my makeup for special occasions, and homecoming was no exception. But, finding the perfect makeup inspiration can be hard. That’s why I’m sharing the best homecoming makeup ideas you need to know about for your HOCO celebrations!
If you want to get even more inspiration from The Anagha Edit on Pinterest, be sure to check us out there!
Makeup Inspo For Homecoming:
1. Glowy Makeup
Glowy makeup can be so much fun and a great makeup idea that can match with your outfit no matter what. I’d include the glow in your makeup through eyeshadow, highlighter, and lipstick/lip gloss!
Just be sure not to overdo the glow, because there’s a fine line between looking glowy and looking greasy (something I learned the hard way lol). :'(
2. A Statement Lip Color
This is a favorite of mine: this HOCO makeup idea is especially good if you can match your lipstick color to your outfit (I picture a beautiful maroon lipstick to go along with a maroon dress).
Whether your statement lipstick color be maroon or purple, this makeup idea is a great way to add flavor to your makeup look!
3. False Lashes
Who doesn’t love a good pair of falsies? If you want to add a little more flair to your eye makeup than just mascara, I’d recommend finding a good pair of false lashes that add volume to your eyelashes without minimizing the appearance of your eyes!
4. Duo-Chrome Highlight
I used this makeup idea for my homecoming, and everyone loved it! Duo-chrome highlighter is a great way to add dimension to your makeup look and tie into undertones found in your outfit.
While I’m sure you can buy a duo-chrome highlighter, you can also layer on two different highlighter shades that create the duo-chrome effect (ex: blue-green and purple)!
5. Lots Of Blush
This is probably one of the simplest makeup ideas to recreate on this list. Go big or go home with your blush and put it on the highs of your cheekbones coming down to the apples of your cheeks.
If you want a more sun kissed look, put some blush on the bridge of your nose to recreate that “I spend time in the Sun” vibe lol.
6. Rhinestone Eye Look
This homecoming makeup idea is for the makeup pros reading: a rhinestone makeup look can be the most iconic way to go about your homecoming makeup look!
Ways you can incorporate rhinestones into your eye makeup:
- place them to shape a cat eye
- place around your eyes in a circular pattern
- do in your inner and outer corners (be careful not to put too close to your eyes)!
7. A Fierce Cat Eye
If rhinestone eyeliner isn’t your cup of tea, maybe a regular cat eye! Whether you achieve this with liquid liner or powder liner, this is a great way to add some drama to your homecoming makeup look!
8. Bronzy Look
If you want to get your tan on, this makeup idea is perfect for you. Just apply bronzer as the way you would contour: on the perimeter of your face! To make sure your face and neck match, be sure to bring your bronzer down to your neck and chest if it’s showing!
9. The Ultimate Smoky Eye
This makeup idea works perfectly for people with darker colored outfits. A smoky eye is great for adding dimension to your eyes as well as some pizazz 😉
10. Lined Lips
While you don’t have to line your lips like Kylie (if you want to though, go for it ;)), lip liner is great for defining the shape of your lips and giving them a fuller appearance. It’s especially a great idea to use it for a more matte/velvet lip look.
Just make sure your lip liner and base lip product mostly match each other (use a darker lip liner and/or contour to make your lips look fuller)!
11. Pastel Makeup Look
I absolutely love pastel because of the soft vibes it has! If you have a pastel homecoming outfit, match your makeup to it! Ways you can do this includes eyeshadow and lip products!
A fun way to incorporate pastel elements into your makeup is through eyeliner: pastel eyeliner is definitely a vibe this year.
12. Neon Makeup Look
And now the opposite to the idea above: neon!! This makeup idea is so so much fun: you can either match your dress color or choose a complementing neon color for your makeup!
Ways to include neon into your makeup include eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, lipstick, and blush!
13. Monochrome Makeup Look
And last but definitely not least, monochromatic makeup! As Miss Selena shows above, matching makeup elements like eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush with your outfit is a great way to appear put together and classy!
