How to: Party Shimmer makeup look

How do I...

Create a dreamy, statement makeup look that’s made for parties and special occasions – all in this step-by-step tutorial.

Summer calls for total freedom. School’s out, and so is the sunshine (we hope). Now’s your chance to play and explore with your makeup – whether that’s for parties, festivals or everyday experiments.

Chrome makeup and metallics are a big colour trend for this season, and you can tap into it with our latest makeup tutorial: Party Shimmer. 

We’ve included some of the limited-edition products in our Summer Rays collection to show you how to use them in different ways. Special shoutout to a brand-new product – Frosting All Over Shimmer!

The star of this look is our Soft-Glide Eye Pencil, which you can use to create the statement chrome eyes and softly blending out with the included sponge tip. Then for extra shimmer, layer on top with dreamy LiquidEyes, in our new shade Blue Sky. No extra tools needed!

To get you in the party makeup mood, we’ve mapped the glowy makeup aesthetic in this moodboard. When you’re ready for all the shimmering, metallic, dreamy vibes, check out the video below to see how we create our take on party makeup, using our new Party Shimmer set.
