Vibrant Sunset

Feeling bold? Paint the town pink (and orange, and purple) with this dramatic blush look surrounded by similarly warm, vibrant hues.

Sunset Cat-Eye

Nothing will liven up your winged liner look quite like brightly colored eyeshadow. This pop of yellow close to the lash line is also a great way to enhance your eye color.

Pretty In Pink

Pink sunsets are some of the most gasp-inducing, and this oh-so-pretty shimmery pink eyeshadow look is sure to get the same reaction.

Subtle Shimmer

If you’re hesitant to step outside your neutral comfort zone, try using more subdued sunset-inspired shadows. Blend well so that there are no harsh lines, giving the look a softer effect.

Graphic & Bold

Graphic eye makeup is everywhere these days, so why not incorporate it into the sunset eyeshadow trend? By placing the yellow shade in the middle, this cat-eye look elongates the eye even further.

Orange Glow

A soft wash of orange eyeshadow is enough to evoke a summery feeling. Pair it with a neutral lip and you’ve got yourself an effortless glam moment.

Smoky Glam

Take your sunset eyeshadow from day to night by adding a bit of smoky eyeliner and fluttery false lashes. A glossy, contoured lip is the perfect pairing.
