Okay, so this makeup look is not for people who want something subtle. This is color, glitter, rhinestones — basically everything loud and fun in one place.
The whole vibe is inspired by Zara Larsson’s tour makeup, and honestly, it looks like something made for stage lights. But the cool thing? You can totally recreate it at home with whatever colorful products you already have.
Let’s walk through how the look comes together.
First: start with blush (yes, before the eyes)
Normally people do blush later, but here it actually works better first. The blush is bright pink and diffused high toward the temples, almost connecting to where the eyeshadow will go. Don’t panic if it looks intense at this stage — it’s supposed to. Once the eyeshadow goes on, everything blends together and suddenly makes sense.
Build the colorful eye base
The eyes are the main event. The base starts with a lime-yellow cream shadow. Instead of packing it on heavily, the color is placed lightly and blended upward so it looks soft and hazy rather than sharp. The strongest color stays near the lid and inner corner, and then everything fades upward toward the brow.
Then comes purple near the lash line. It adds depth so the eye doesn’t look flat. Again, the key is blending — nothing should look harsh. After that, powder shadows go over the cream base to make the color brighter and smoother.
Bright inner corner + pink blend
A bright white highlight in the inner corner makes everything pop instantly. That small step really changes the whole look. After that, pink tones — similar to the blush — are blended around the outer eye and even slightly toward the brow area. This connects the cheeks and the eyes so the colors look intentional instead of random.
At this point, the eye makeup already looks like a mix of sunset colors — lime, pink, purple, white — all softly blending together.
Lower lash color and winged liner
Pink shadow also goes along the lower lash line to balance the top and bottom of the eye. Then comes a winged liner. A useful trick here is sketching the wing first with pencil and only then going over it with liquid liner. It’s much easier to fix mistakes that way.
Rhinestones (aka patience testing moment)
Now comes the dramatic part: rhinestones. Small colored gems — pink, green, purple — are placed around the eye using lash glue. This part takes time, and yes, it can get frustrating. But once they’re on, the whole makeup look instantly feels stage-ready. It’s honestly worth the effort.
Add glitter for extra glow
A little glitter is placed right under parts of the liner and lightly on the nose bridge and tip. Not too much — just enough so the light catches it. This adds sparkle without overwhelming the rest of the makeup.
Finish with warm, glossy lips
The lips balance all the cool eye colors by going warm. An orange-toned lip color with a slightly deeper brown liner gives definition. Then a glitter gloss goes on top to tie everything together with the sparkly eyes.
Final thoughts
When everything is done, the look feels bold, colorful, and playful — definitely not everyday makeup, but that’s the whole point. Even if your colors end up a bit stronger or softer than the original, it still works because this kind of makeup is supposed to feel creative and experimental. There’s no “perfect” version.
Honestly, the best part of this look is how fun it feels while you’re doing it. You get to mix colors, layer textures, try rhinestones, add glitter — it’s basically like painting on your face. And once you step back and see the final result, all those crazy-looking steps suddenly come together into something really cool.
