As we celebrate 242 years of Independence this 4th of July, we're here to bring you some look ideas to make your holiday more festive! Whether you're looking to rock an all red, white and blue color palette or are going for a subtle accent, these looks will surely help you express your patriotism through your looks. 

RED, WHITE & BLUE:

If you're looking to express your patriotism in red, white and blue this Independence Day, you're in the right place! There's so many different look ideas you can create and something for everyone to try.

Try a bold red and blue cut crease embellished with white sparkly accents. Colored mascara on the lower lashline in blue is a quick way to add a pop of color and also a fun summer trend to try. If you're up for it, try painting on white stars for festive vibes.

Graphic liner in red and white is perfect for an edgy look! Complete the look with smokey blue on the lower lashline and a classic red lip.

Red, White & Blue

If you're going for something dramatic, try a bold cut crease with gradient lids.

For a monochrome look, add red all over lids and lips. Break up the look by adding blue. Embellish with blue liner and create any design you'd like. For an abstract look, try different lines and patterns.

Abstract Look

What could be more festive than gradient lids in red, white and blue? Embellish with white or silver glitter and to really make it fun paint on metallic dots or tiny stars in clusters for an abstract firework-esque design!

 Festive Look July 4th 

For a classic look, go with a stars and stripes look!

For something a bit more glamorous, try a red and white gradient cut crease with blue on the lower lashline. To add dimension, use a few shades of blue. Embellish with sparkly silver liner, white stars (or dots) and lashes!

Festive Red, White & Blue 

It's amazing how you can use the same color palette to create so many different and fun looks! Try blue all over the lids and red in the crease for a bold look! Finish with a pearlescent white highlight. Try this same technique but reverse the color application for a totally unique look!

And if you're up for it, paint your entire face in red, white and blue!

ALTERNATIVES:

If you want to look festive with a less obvious 4th of July color palette, there's always alternatives that you can explore. Add subtle accents in either red, white or blue for a demure look.

COLORED LINER:

If you're working this holiday and are short on time, you can easily add a festive element to your look with blue colored eyeliner! Compliment this with a red lip stain for a wearable look or a full red pout for major festive vibes. 

Blue Eyeliner 

Blue or red eyeliner is a great option for those who like to keep their makeup minimal and neat. Draw a beautiful wing with colorful eyeliner or add an accent on the lower lashline for an easy way to add some color.

Red Vibes

You can add red eyeshadow without looking OTT (over the top) by combining neutral shades in brown across the crease. Add sparkly blue liner and you're ready to light up some sparklers in style!

BLUE VIBES:

Blue eye makeup and red lips is probably the easiest way to go when it comes to 4th of July looks. An all over white and blue monochromatic lid is best for smokey eye lovers. You can smoke it out with dark navy blue and a bit of grey or black to your heart's content! Add sparkles with white or silver glitter for a glam element.

If you're a fan of drama, a smokey blue halo topped off with loads of glitter is all you need.

STARS:

Another festive makeup option is to decorate your eyes with tiny sparkly crystals, rhinestones or glitter, that will imitate stars. 

An all over blue lid with silver stars is the perfect option for a quick and fun look!

 Blue Eyes With Stars

You can paint little stars on your eyelids and face with the help of colored grease paint and an eyeliner brush. Or you can use a stencil or stamp tattoo to keep things looking neat and polished! 

KVD Vibes

For avant garde vibes, go for glossy lids and brows in white and then add colorful stars to shine bright just like a fireworks display!

If you don't have stars, white flat pearls or rhinestones also look just as great!
