Pride season is honestly one of my favorite times to go all out with makeup. Bright colors? Check. Glitter everywhere? Double check. Whether you’re headed to a parade, a party, or just vibing with your friends, you should definitely let your makeup do some of the talking (and shouting!). I’ve put together some super fun and easy Pride makeup ideas you can try — even if you’re not a makeup pro. Let’s get into it and get you looking like pure rainbow magic!
Rainbow Eyeshadow with Purple Wing
If you want something bold but still a little structured, you should try a rainbow eyeshadow look with a sharp purple wing. You can blend all the colors from your inner to outer lid, then finish with a fierce purple eyeliner flick. I love this because you get that full rainbow moment plus the drama of a wing. Don’t forget — a good eye primer will make your colors pop even more!
Rainbow Blob Eyeshadow
You should totally have fun with this one because it’s all about being messy on purpose. You can tap different rainbow colors onto your lids with your fingers or a fluffy brush to create a “blob” effect. Think watercolor but with your eyeshadow! If you love that artsy, carefree look, this one’s going to be your jam.
Top-Bottom Rainbow Dots with Color Brows
This one is so cute and playful! You can create little rainbow dots along your top and bottom lash lines and pair them with brightly colored brows. You should use liquid liners or colorful eyeliners for the dots so they stay neat. And don’t be shy about your brows — a pink or blue brow moment looks so good with this!
Left- Red, Orange, Yellow- Right Eye, Blue, Green, Purple
If you want something super easy but still really striking, you should split the rainbow between your two eyes. You can do warm colors (red, orange, yellow) on one side and cool colors (blue, green, purple) on the other. It’s such a fun way to stand out in pics! You should keep your base simple so your eyes stay the star of the show.
Rainbow Hearts with Color Studs Look
You should definitely try adding tiny rainbow hearts around your eyes — it’s the cutest thing ever. You can draw them with colorful liners or use little stickers if you want it quicker. I always say, go the extra mile and stick some colorful rhinestones around the hearts for extra sparkle. You’ll look like literal art walking around!
Dramatic Butterfly Eyes
This look is a total show-stopper, and you should totally go for it if you want to turn heads. You can draw big, colorful butterfly wings extending from your eyes using eyeliners or shadows. Add lots of black detail for that dramatic wing shape. Bonus tip: you can even pop a tiny gem right in the middle to look like a butterfly body!
Crayon Rainbow Eyes with Rainbow Lips
If you’re someone who loves color on color (and you should during Pride!), you have to try crayon-style rainbow eyes paired with rainbow lips. You can draw chunky, bright color blocks across your lids and lips, just like crayon strokes. It’s messy, bold, and seriously fun — plus it screams Pride spirit in the best way!
Bi Colors Eyeshadow with Studs at the End
You should definitely represent your Bi pride with this look! Blend pink, purple, and blue across your lids, then add some tiny silver studs at the outer corners for extra sparkle. You can even bring the colors slightly under your eyes for a fuller, smokey vibe. Trust me, you’ll feel like a glittery goddess.
Rainbow Mask Eyeshadow
If you’re down to get a little wild (and you totally should be!), you have to try a rainbow mask. You can paint a bold rainbow strip across your eyes like a superhero mask — it’s so fierce. Use a fluffy brush to blend the edges a little so it looks soft and dreamy. Add a few rhinestones around the edges if you want to be extra fancy.
Butterfly Rainbow with Studs and Glossy Lips
You should go for a butterfly-inspired rainbow eyeshadow, then finish the look with glossy, juicy lips. You can blend your eyeshadow in rainbow gradients shaped like butterfly wings and add rhinestones for sparkle. Glossy lips keep the look fresh and fun instead of too heavy. It’s giving magical fairy at Pride, and I’m here for it!
Super Glam Rainbow Eyes with White Stars
This is for my glam babes — you should blend a full-on rainbow eyeshadow look and add tiny white stars around your eyes. You can draw the stars with white eyeliner or use little stickers. I swear, every time I wear this, people always stop me to ask about it. Definitely the move if you want to look magical and ethereal!
Pastel Rainbow Flower Makeup
You should try something softer with pastel rainbow flower makeup. Lightly blend pastel pinks, blues, yellows, and greens on your lids, then add tiny flower designs around your eyes. If you’re not super confident freehanding flowers, you can always grab flower face stickers — they work like a charm and save so much time!
