We’re constantly talking about looks for Diwali or traditional Indian wedding makeup… But what about Independence Day makeup? August 15th is right around the corner so we’ve listed out a few fun ways to express your patriotism. Check them out below!

1. Double Wing It

Put down the standard black liner and go for colour! Use NYX’s Vivid Brights Liner in ‘Vivid Envy’ to draw on a thin cat-eye, and then add a second flick above it with the help of ‘Vivid Delight’.

3. Go For Glitter

It’s time to let your nails #bleedblue! Swipe on a sparkly blue lacquer, such as Revlon’s Nail Enamel in ‘Artsy’, to show off your patriotic (and fun!) side.

4. Blush With Pride

If subtle makeup is your thing, then a cream blush is what you need. Stila’s Convertible Color in ‘Gladiola’ leaves a beautiful, translucent flush of orange on your cheeks. You can even use it as a sheer lip tint!
