Sunset eyes mimic the beautiful blend of colors seen in the evening sky, think fiery oranges, romantic pinks, and deep purples.
This look is flattering on all skin tones, eye shapes, and works for both casual and glamorous settings. Here’s a simple step by step tutorial to help you master it.
Eyes: The Star of the Sunset
1. Transition Shade: Soft Peach or Coral
Sweep a soft peach or coral shade into your crease using a fluffy brush. Blend in windshield wiper motions to warm up the base.
2. Sunset Glow: Bright Orange
Apply bright orange to the inner and outer thirds of your lid. This is optional, but you can also press a vibrant hot pink or magenta into the center of the lid.
Blend where they meet for a seamless sky effect.
3. Deepen the Outer V
Use a burgundy or deep plum on the outer corner to add depth. Blend slightly into the crease for a smoky gradient.
4. Gold Shimmer Pop
Dab gold or duochrome shimmer on the center lid for a glowing effect.
Use your finger or a damp brush for intense payoff.
5. Lower Lash Line
Buff the sunset colors under your eye with these colors: peach, orange, and pink. And add plum to the outer lower lash line (optional) for depth.
6. Liner and Lashes
Apply a brown or black liner. Wing it out if desired. Then finish it off with mascara or falsies for dramatic flair.
Cheeks: A Natural Glow
1. Blush
Use a coral or soft peach blush to tie the look together. Apply to the apples of your cheeks and sweep upward.
2. Highlighter
Choose a warm toned highlighter (gold, rose gold, or champagne) and apply them to the high points: cheekbones, nose bridge, and brow bone.
Lips: Soft and Complementary
1. Nude or Glossy Finish
Go for a peachy nude, coral tint, or sheer gloss to balance the bold eyes. Lip oils with a warm tint are also perfect for a dewy finish.
2. Want Drama?
For bold lips, try a sunset inspired ombré using pink and orange lipstick. Blend for a smooth transition between shades.
Final Thoughts
Sunset eyes are more than a makeup trend, they’re a statement of creativity and warmth.
Whether you’re heading to a music festival, date night, or just want to elevate your daily glam, this look brings magic to your makeup. Practice blending and don’t be afraid to play with shimmer.
The sky isn’t the limit, your creativity is. Keep glowing like the sky.
