It’s the holidays! That means more get-togethers, more cute outfits, and more Thanksgiving makeup looks! Whether it’s a fun friend-giving or a family sitting down at the dinner table, we have to look our best! To help with that, we’ve got some cute and festive makeup ideas for the perfect Thanksgiving look!
Thanksgiving Makeup Looks Perfect For Fall Season!
Neutral Look
A neutral look filled with brown shades is the easiest and safest way to go when it comes to Thanksgiving makeup. In most eyeshadow palettes, you can find a few really good brown shades and just blend those onto your eyes for a perfect Thanksgiving makeup look!
You can make neutral eyeshadow look as simple or as intricate as you’d like for your Thanksgiving makeup. One way to add some wow to your Thanksgiving makeup is by doing a cut crease! Take some concealer and carve out the shape of your eyelid for a stunning Thanksgiving makeup effect. You can do a half-cut crease and blend some shadow on the ends, or go all out with a full-cut crease for an elegant Thanksgiving makeup style!
To get you started we gathered a couple of our favorite neutral palettes. A new favorite is the Well PeoplePower Palette Eyeshadow! It has so many beautiful neutral colors and some pink. Their shadows are amazing and blend seamlessly!
Another great palette that is a bit more affordable is Juvia’s Place The Chocolates Eyeshadow Palette. This one is perfect for beginners since it only has a few shades but follows a pretty color story!
Bold Lips
Fall time is here.. the leaves change colors, nights get longer and lipsticks get darker. What better way to spice up your Thanksgiving makeup than with a bright and bold lip color? They’re the perfect way to add a pop of color, especially when paired with neutral eye makeup. A color we have been obsessed with recently is the burnt orange terracotta shade. It reminds us of a pumpkin pie, the perfect fall shade!
Maybelline’s SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in the shade Voyager will give you this color with a formula that will last you all night long!
Another classic fall shade is a deep burgundy. RabanneFamous Lipcolor Matte Lipstick is a deep red color with a pioneering vegan makeup formula, containing 90% ingredients of natural origin!
Another cute lippie is Huda Beauty’s Power Bullet Matte Lipstick in the shade Interview. This color is warm-toned and leans more toward a nude peachy shade, which is a must for the fall!
Our final color for some bold lips is a deep berry shade. The difference between this and the burgundy color we mentioned before is the intensity the berry tones give.
Juvia’s Place has an Earth Lipstick collection filled with a bunch of fun lipsticks perfect for all skin tones! A couple of our favorites include Soil and Nile.
Pair your bold lips with a matching blush for a trendy monochromatic makeup look! REM Beauty’s Eclipse Cheek and Lip Stain in the shade Standing o is the perfect deep burgundy blush to pair with your deep lip color. Nude is the perfect color for a Thanksgiving makeup look. Fenty Beauty’s Stunna Lip Paint in the shade Unveil is a delicious chocolate brown shade that pairs perfectly with their Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush in the shade Rose Latte for a gorgeous brown monochromatic look!
Glitter
Go big or go home, am I right? Glitter is so fun to use, you can add as little or as much as you want to achieve makeup with sparkle! One of the easiest ways to add glitter is with a glitter liquid liner. The precise brush makes it easy to add small details to your eyes and face.
Our two favorite glitter liners are about-face Fractal Glitter Eye Paint: The Minis a new kit to take advantage of for the holidays. We also have Glaze Crayon Intense Liquid Eyeshadow by Iconic London. Some ways you can use these to add a subtle touch of glitter is by applying them to your inner corner or bottom lash line. You can also apply it to your cut crease to take your minimal makeup look to the next level!
If you are looking for an even bolder Thanksgiving makeup look…you’re going to need some more glitter! Liquid glitter shadow is the easiest way to apply glitter all over your lid. ELF’s Liquid Glitter Shadow is super affordable and gives a gorgeous color and shine!
To go even further, get some loose glitter! paired with their Long Lasting Glitter Primer are amazing! To use it, simply apply the glitter primer where you want the glitter to stick, then tap the glitter on top!
Eyeliner
The neutral cat eye wing is the perfect simple, yet classy makeup for Thanksgiving. If the basic black liner is old news, take your look to the next level with a fun fall color like burgundy or brown. Complete your new eyeliner with matching mascara!
We all love a good graphic liner. Be the star of the show this holiday season with a fun and festive eyeliner design! The NYX Epic Wear Eyeliner comes in a few shimmery metallic colors that are perfect to let your artistic side run wild.
Bold Eyeshadow

What makeup looks are trending for Thanksgiving?
The looks that are trending the most right now are applying bright blushes, no-makeup makeup, glossy lips, and statement eyes as we mentioned previously.
What is a daytime makeup look?
Daytime makeup is frequently meant to enhance a fresh and awake appearance, highlight natural features of the skin, and hide blemishes and flaws. Because the natural light of the sun makes heavy makeup jobs more visible, daytime makeup looks are typically subtler than evening or night makeup looks.
What is 1930s makeup?
It had striking eyes that were characterized by a multitude of mascara, thin eyebrows, and light or pale eyeshadow shades. Lips were full and slightly overdrawn, with two long mounds flared at the corners. The makeup style of the 1930s was not as dramatic or vamp-like as it was in the 1920s.
