3 Creative Beauty Looks For Expressing Yourself 

From a beachy neon mermaid to sizzling metallics and the big hair and glitter of 70s disco fever, embrace the free spirit of Pride with these three creative looks.

Outfit sorted, after-party ticket booked, and now the only thing left to do is prep your Pride makeup look. From a beachy neon mermaid to sizzling metallics and the big hair and glitter of 70s disco fever, embrace the free spirit of Pride with these three looks.

Sizzling metallics

Copper is a key beauty trend for 2023, and it is one of beauty’s most inclusive, gender-neutral looks as this rich, penny shade pops against all skin tones. Celeb fans of copper makeup include Meghan Markle and Karlie Kloss, who we’ve seen sporting rich, pigmented shades of copper eyeshadow in subtle and statement looks. Recreate a copper smokey eye for Pride using M.A.C Eye Love Surprises Eye Shadow Palette, then blend and layer with Napoleon Perdis Color Disc Copper Topper for a rich metallic top coat sheen. Sweep on a shimmering long-lasting liquid eyeliner, such as Make Up For Ever Aqua Resist Color Ink Eyeliner in Copper Lava, then finish with a lick of glowing cream eyeshadow over cheekbones and browbones to add reflective highlights to rival any disco ball. We like Mellow Cosmetics Glitter Chrome Eye Shadow in Golden Glow or Benefit Cosmetics 2021 Miss Glow-it-All Palette. Don’t forget to add sparkle to your locks, too. Spritz on Silk Oil of Morocco x Emilee Hembrow Glimmer Me - Shimmer & Shine Finishing Mist for subtle Champagne sparkles and deeply hydrating ingredients in one hit, then glow get it.

Disco Fever

Bigger is better when it comes to this 70s-inspired look that’s dusted in glitter from head to toe. Be inspired by Dua Lipa’s blue shimmer shadow and recreate the look with M.A.C Art Library eyeshadow palette and KVD Tattoo Pencil Liner Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Azurite Blue, which is designed to stay in place all day and all night long. Inspired by Khloe Kardashian’s rhinestone-studded eyelids, dab Napolean Perdis Loose Eye Dust Disco Glitter over your entire eyelid. It’s a buildable reflective loose eyeshadow powder designed for the face and body, so please don’t use it sparingly. Then continue the glitter-coating with Glitterazzi Iridescent Mythology Glitter Kit, which contains three shades of biodegradable glitter, aloe glitter glue and an application brush. Sweep over cheekbones for a classic disco highlight, or dial up the drama with a half-moon – starting above your browbone, curving down to your temple and onto the top of your cheekbone. The Glitter Tribe also offers biodegradable glitter made from plants, not plastic. To apply, slather aloe vera gel onto your chest and shoulders, then dust with glitter like sugar on a cinnamon doughnut, and let it set for a lasting sparkle. No disco style is complete without big hair, so use Redken Big Blowout Blowdry Gel on wet hair before styling for instant volume with a soft, bouncy finish and heat protection up to 230°C.

Neon mermaid

With glowy skin, pops of neon eye colour, wet-look highlights and swooshing hair, this is the little mermaid all grown up. At the base of it all is golden glowing skin, so start prepping your skin the day before. Ella Bache Great Tan Without Sun is a moisture-rich, self-tanning cream that develops in over 8 hours, while Loving Tan Deluxe Face Tan creates a sun-kissed glow in just two hours. Then, sweep a glistening body oil such as Salt By Hendrix Body Glow - Golden Hour over arms, chest, back and legs for luscious, just-out-of-the-ocean skin. Inspired by the neon hues of tropical fish and coral reefs, use shades such as violet, magenta and acid yellow all over your eyelid. Using a round makeup brush, press tiny circles of each shade in patches over the entire eyelid, starting at the inner eye and reaching to the outer curve. Intersperse matte gel-pot colour like KVD Beauty Super Pomade Vegan Eyeliner, Shadow & Brow Pigment in rich matte shades of Daffodil and Magenta with a shimmer pigment like ILC Chrome Eye Pot in Spellbound, which applies like jelly but sets to a metallic powder finish. Sweep a matte powder bronzer over cheekbones, temples and the tip of the nose for an extra sunkissed vibe; then set mermaid tresses using Mermade Hair Blow Dry Brush or Pro Waver.
