Did someone say pool party? Now you’ve got the invite to the villa it’s time to get ready. We’ve gone through our (massive) beauty stash to find the products you need to add-to-bag to help you create the perf’ party makeup look, whichever Island you’re headed to. We’re so ready to double tap.
Party Makeup Looks
We’ve rounded up our fave party makeup looks as seen on our fave ‘grammers for all the ‘spo. brb, raiding our makeup collection.
Olivia Buckland has been serving all kinds of makeup inspo recently thanks to her killa’ hen parties (cos who only has one, anyway?). But we’re obsessed of this selfie taken with her fiancee Alex Bowen. Couple goals, right?
We love her smoked out party makeup look, complete with false lashes and and arched brows. Complete the look with a lil contour and you’ve got yourself the sort of look that automatically gets you queue jump.
Unreal Amber Davies kills it when it comes to both makeup and party hair looks. She’s gone for copper foil eye makeup, finished with a slick of eyeliner along the top lashline.
When it comes to hair, ensure you’re using hair products that promise to sooth and smooth the follicles to give hair an unrivalled shine. After blow drying hair straight, get a pair of hair curling tongs and curl hair. Wait about ten minutes, then brush through for loose waves.

£4.99 Buy now with HQhair SLEEK MAKEUP LIFEPROOF 12 HOUR WEAR EYELINER
Buy now with free deliveryYou know we’re massive fans of Sleek MakeUP, so it’s no surprise we were super excited to hear about their brand new eyeliner pencils. Promising to stay put for 12 hours, they promise the sorta longwearing we like to party with.
A creamy texture, these apply easily to the eyelid without pulling the skin (score), before setting and staying in place until you swipe with a lil micellar water or an oil-based makeup remover. Either apply in a classic cateye flick, or smudge in with a densely packed flat makeup brush for a messy yet pigmented smokey eye.

This highlighter is one of the best party makeup products because its bronzed undertones make it look hella fire on every skintone. Apply with a fan brush to the highs of your cheekbones and collarbones for a lit-from-within glow every time you get lit. If you want some blindin’ highlight, spray your brush with water to dampen the bristles, then apply to the brow bone for an intense glow.
