Easy Pride Flag Eyeshadow

Don’t be intimidated by Pride makeup looks with multiple colors. All you’ll need to recreate Patrick Starrr’s rainbow eyeliner is a brightly-colored eyeshadow palette, some tissue paper (mmhmm) and a bit of confidence. Start with a base of eyeshadow primer or concealer, and keep a handful of Q-tips nearby to clean up the edges and catch any loose shadow that falls on your cheeks.

Rainbow Brows

Five years later and makeup artists are still crediting this NikkieTutorials video for teaching them how to nail these bold rainbow brows. Paired with a full mug or perhaps just a swipe of mascara, it’s the perfect Pride makeup idea for a parade or party.

With the right eyeshadow shades, her signature multi-colored blush can easily be adapted for a Pride makeup look. Prime with a white base to make the colors really pop, especially on darker skin tones.

Through its Proud Allies for All program, NYX Cosmetics donates over $500,000 annually to organizations like the Los Angeles LGBT Center. These pigmented eyeliner pencils are an excellent choice for creating graphic liner looks inspired by different Pride flags, whether it’s wavy lines, dots, dramatic wings or full-on flames.

Trans Flag Eyeshadow

Now more than ever, it’s essential we come together this Pride Month to support the trans community. Not only is this pink and blue eyeshadow look stunning, it sends an important message to the growing number of states attempting to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth.

Watercolor Eye Makeup

The beauty of @jakobejay‘s watercolor eye makeup is that it’s damn near impossible to get wrong. Commit to the process, and a few minutes later, you’ll have a Pride makeup look that leaves everyone’s jaws on the floor.
