Makeup Styles to Try: Your Guide to Fresh Looks
The Radiant "Barely There" Look
This style is all about achieving a natural, healthy glow that makes it seem like you're not wearing much makeup at all.

How to Achieve It:
- Prep Your Skin: Start with well-hydrated skin. A good moisturizer and a hydrating primer are key. You want your skin to look plump and dewy.
- Light Base: Skip heavy foundations. Instead, opt for a tinted moisturizer, a BB cream, or a very sheer foundation. Apply just enough to even out your skin tone, allowing your natural complexion to show through.
- Spot Conceal: Use a lightweight concealer only where needed, like under your eyes or on any blemishes. Blend it out really well so it disappears into your skin.
- Subtle Flush: A cream or liquid blush applied to the apples of your cheeks gives a natural, youthful flush. Choose a soft pink or peach shade.
- Soft Eyes: A touch of mascara on your upper lashes is usually enough. You can also fill in your brows lightly to frame your face. A little brow gel helps them stay put.

It's a rather versatile look, actually, that suits many occasions.
How to Achieve It:
- Smooth Base: Start with a medium-coverage foundation that gives a smooth, even canvas. Blend it out really well.
- Gentle Contour & Highlight: Use a soft contour shade to add dimension to your cheekbones and jawline. A subtle highlighter on the high points of your face will catch the light beautifully.
- Blended Eyes: Choose neutral eyeshadows like soft browns, taupes, or rose golds. Blend them seamlessly across your lid and into your crease. A slightly darker shade can be used to define the outer corner.
- Defined Lashes: Apply a few coats of volumizing mascara. You might also consider adding a few individual false lashes for extra fullness, which can really open up your eyes.
- Polished Brows: Fill in your brows to give them a defined yet natural shape. A brow pencil or powder works well here.

It’s a classic for a reason, offering a powerful impact with minimal effort. It’s pretty much an instant way to feel more confident, actually.
How to Achieve It:
- Flawless Skin: A clean, even complexion is important here so the lip color can truly stand out. Use a medium-coverage foundation or BB cream.
- Minimal Eye Makeup: Keep your eyes simple. A coat of mascara, perhaps a thin line of eyeliner, and well-groomed brows are usually enough. You don't want anything to distract from your lips.
- Perfect Lip Prep: Exfoliate your lips gently and apply a lip balm. Blot off any excess before applying color. This helps the lipstick go on smoothly and last longer.
- Lip Liner is Key: Outline your lips with a lip liner that matches your lipstick shade. This helps prevent feathering and gives a crisp edge. You can even fill in your entire lip with the liner for an even longer-lasting base.
- Bold Lipstick Application: Apply your chosen bold lipstick carefully. Reds, deep berries, fuchsias, or even striking oranges can work. For precision, use a lip brush.
- Clean Up Edges: Use a small brush with a tiny bit of concealer to clean up any smudges around the edges of your lips, making them look super sharp.
Products to Consider:
Sephora has an unrivaled selection of lipsticks in every shade imaginable. You can explore new releases for the latest colors or check out our bestsellers for cult favorites. Remember, makeup sales are always on at Sephora, so you might find your next favorite bold lip at a great price, which is rather nice.
Artistic Eye Lines
This style takes eyeliner beyond a simple flick, turning it into a creative expression. Think graphic lines, floating creases, or colorful wings. It’s a bit more experimental and allows for a lot of personal flair. It’s perfect when you want to make your eyes the absolute center of attention, you know, and show off some artistic talent.
How to Achieve It:
- Clean Eye Base: Start with an eye primer to ensure your liner stays put and looks vibrant. A neutral eyeshadow can also be applied as a base.
- Choose Your Tool: Liquid liners, gel pots with a fine brush, or even highly pigmented eyeshadows used wet can create sharp lines. Colorful liners are great for this look.
- Experiment with Shapes: Instead of just a regular wing, try a double wing, a line that extends into your crease, or a floating line above your lid. Look for inspiration online to find shapes that appeal to you.
- Precision is Important: Take your time and use a steady hand. Small, short strokes are often better than trying to draw one long line. A cotton swab dipped in micellar water can help clean up any mistakes.
- Keep it Balanced: With such a strong eye, keep the rest of your face simple. A natural base, a touch of blush, and a nude lip will ensure your eye art truly stands out.
Products to Consider:
For artistic eye lines, you’ll want to explore Sephora’s selection of liquid eyeliners and gel liners. Look for those with fine tips for precision. You can also find vibrant eyeshadow palettes that can be used wet to create unique liner shades. New makeup that’s trending often includes exciting new liner formulas and colors, so keep an eye out.
Monochromatic Harmony
The monochromatic look involves using shades from the same color family across your eyes, cheeks, and lips. This creates a cohesive, sophisticated, and surprisingly impactful look. It’s a very chic way to wear color without it feeling overwhelming. It’s quite popular right now, you know, for its elegant simplicity.
How to Achieve It:
- Pick Your Color: Choose one color family – think soft pinks, warm peaches, earthy browns, or even muted mauves.
- Eyes: Use various tones from your chosen color family on your eyelids. For example, with pink, use a lighter pink on the lid and a slightly deeper rose in the crease.
- Cheeks: Apply a blush in a shade that matches your chosen color. For pinks, a rosy blush; for peaches, a peachy blush. Cream blushes often work wonderfully for this, giving a seamless blend.
- Lips: Finish with a lipstick or gloss in a similar shade. It doesn't have to be an exact match, but it should be in the same color family. A slightly sheer finish often looks very pretty.
- Keep it Cohesive: The key is to ensure all elements blend together smoothly. The goal is harmony, not exact duplication of color.
Products to Consider:
Sephora offers a wide array of makeup palettes that feature various shades within a single color family, making this look easy to achieve. You can also shop the best makeup kits and sets that might contain coordinating products. Remember, you earn points with every purchase when you shop at Sephora, which is a nice perk, you know.
Vibrant Pop of Color
This style is about adding a single, unexpected burst of color to an otherwise neutral or minimal makeup look. It’s a playful and modern way to incorporate bright hues without committing to a full colorful face. It's a rather fun way to experiment, actually, and it can really brighten your face.
How to Achieve It:
- Clean Canvas: Keep your base makeup simple and natural. A light foundation, concealer where needed, and a soft blush.
- Choose Your Pop: Decide where you want your color to be. It could be a bright eyeliner, a bold wash of eyeshadow on the lid, or a striking inner corner highlight.
- Placement is Key:
- Eyeliner: A vibrant blue, green, or purple liner along your upper lash line.
- Eyeshadow: A single, bright shade swept across your lid or just in the crease.
- Inner Corner: A bright pop of color in the inner corner of your eye can be surprisingly impactful.
- Lower Lash Line: A thin line of color along your lower lash line can add a subtle but noticeable pop.
- Restraint is Important: Don't add too many other colorful elements. The idea is for one color to truly stand out.
Products to Consider:
Sephora has an unrivaled selection of vibrant single eyeshadows and colorful eyeliners perfect for this look. Look for new makeup releases that often feature bold, trending colors. You can also find refillable beauty products, which is a good option for trying out new shades without buying a whole new palette.
Modern Smoky Eyes
The classic smoky eye gets a refresh, moving away from harsh lines and heavy black to softer, more blended versions using a wider range of colors. Think smoky browns, grays, or even deep jewel tones. It’s still dramatic but feels more current and wearable, you know, for various occasions.
How to Achieve It:
- Primer First: Always start with an eye primer to prevent creasing and make your shadows last.
- Choose Your Color Palette: Instead of just black, consider deep browns, charcoal grays, plums, or forest greens. You'll need at least three shades: a light base, a mid-tone, and a darker shade for depth.
- Layer and Blend:
- Apply the mid-tone shade all over your lid.
- Use the darker shade in the outer corner and along the lash line, blending it inwards and slightly into the crease.
- Use a clean, fluffy brush to blend, blend, blend! You want a seamless transition between colors.
- A lighter, shimmery shade can go on the inner corner or brow bone for a lift.
- Smudge the Lash Line: Use a pencil eyeliner in a coordinating dark shade on your upper and lower lash lines, then gently smudge it with a brush or cotton swab for a soft, smoky effect.
- Plenty of Mascara: Finish with multiple coats of volumizing mascara. False lashes can also add to the drama.
- Balanced Face: Keep your complexion clean and your lips neutral to let your eyes be the star.
