Independence Day is approaching, and as you plan your cookout outfit, it is also a great time to consider which Fourth of July beauty looks you intend to try. You may find the typical Fourth of July looks to be a little too on the nose. However, there are ways to incorporate the holiday spirit into your beauty routine without doing too much.
Whether you want to be on theme or prefer to sport a soft glam, there is a look that will fit you just right! In 2024, walk into the cookout with your best beat and maybe even display a look you’ve never tried before. Here are five Fourth of July beauty looks you should try!
1. Deep Red Eyeshadow
If you hope to remain subtle with your holiday celebration, consider a deep red eyeshadow. The hue is bold and eye-catching, yet it does not include all three colors of the American flag. Before you dip your brush in the burgundy shade, sweep a brown hue across your eyelid. Then, blend in the deep red and add a hint of highlight in the corner of your eye.
2. Winged Eyeliner
For the makeup girlies who prefer to stay on theme but still want to be lowkey, this is the look for you! All you need is red, white, and blue eyeliners and a little glitter. Create a winged eyeliner with the red, then carefully follow up with the blue and white line on top! Add a sweep of glitter across your eyelid crease, and you are good to go.
3. Stars and Stripes
There are certainly more ways to be patriotic than wearing red, white, and blue. Consider incorporating stars and stripes in your makeup to ditch the colors but still celebrate. To achieve the above look, you’ll need white eyeliner and a thin eyeliner brush to draw the star. If you don’t have a steady hand, purchase star-shaped stickers, and you can use white eyeshadow to trace around it.
4. Bold Red Lip
One can never go wrong with a bold red lip! Red is also one of the flag’s colors, making it one of the best Fourth of July beauty looks to try! You can add to the look by blending star-like glitter onto your eyes. For those who choose to be a little more on theme, try blue mascara and white eyeliner!
5. Keep It Simple
Sometimes, simple beauty is the best beauty! Keeping it simple for the cookout will allow your outfit and hair to speak for themselves. This look can also be achieved without foundation. Grab your favorite concealer, bronzer, and blush, and you’re all set.
The Fourth of July is a great time to get together with family and friends, but it is also a great time to feel your most beautiful. Choose one of these Fourth of July beauty looks to serve face during the holiday.
