The key to painting a rainbow on your face is to embrace strong, vivid hues and blend them expertly to depict the entire rainbow’s spectrum. It’s about using color to express creativity, confidence, and joy—it’snotjust about makeup. Whether you’re utilizing lip colors, highlighters, or eyeshadows, the secret is to keep the palette harmonious and allow your individuality to show through.
How to draw a rainbow on your face?
The colors of the rainbow are, as you may know, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple. You are only able to use five colors when making rainbow makeup, "combining" orange and yellow with light blue and blue. Use only blue for the first "duet" and only yellow for the second. You will get orange when you shade the lines separating red and yellow, and blue when you shade the lines separating blue and purple.
Highlighters or various shaded shadows applied to the cheekbones are typically used to create rainbows; in these cases, the iridescence is most visible. However, you can also use eye makeup to draw a rainbow.
Maria Belova, a makeup artist at NYX Professional Makeup, has put together a brief, illustrated tutorial that walks users through the process of applying flawless rainbow strobing to their cheekbones at home. Model: Lissa Avemi, a beauty blogger.
To achieve this look, you’ll need:
- Temptation eyeshadow and highlighter palette by Maybelline New York,
- Love Lust Disco Highlight Pallete highlighter palette by NYX Professional Makeup,
- Love You So Mochi eyeshadow palette by Urban Decay.
Apply foundational makeup, paying careful attention to the tone; for optimal effect, try to create a rainbow on a perfectly level surface. The Maybelline New York Fit Me foundation is required. By the way, you don’t have to wear boring makeup during the day in this situation; you can paint your eyes quite brightly, for instance. Here are the steps if you like Lissa’s makeup look from the picture.
Put some cream highlighter on your cheekbones and give it time to fully absorb. Take NYX Professional Makeup’s Away We Glow Liquid Highlighter, for instance. You can use a dry napkin to dab away any leftovers.
The Temptation palette’s dry highlighters will then be useful. Apply the middle shade to the lower portion of the cheekbone, the lightest shade to the upper portion, and the first shade from the palette to the center of the cheekbone.
Use the Love You So Mochi palette’s shadows; it contains all the shades you need to make a rainbow.

From top to bottom, apply the shades in the following order: 10, 5, 7, 8, 4. Next, using a fresh brush, carefully blend the borders between the shades.
Your face’s rainbow is ready! To achieve a more pronounced rainbow (for instance, for use in a picture), multiply the shadow layer.
