The Cutest Graduation Makeup Ideas

1. Soft Glam With Smudged Eye Liner

This look reminds me of Victoria’s Secret models. A look like this would be perfect if you want to do a glam style look without being too over-the-top!

The smudged eyeliner really softens the look and makes it look super angelic.

2. Blush Look With Winged Eyeliner

This is probably the makeup I would do if I was graduating again. I heard a photographer say recently to really go heavy on blush if you expect to be taking a lot of pictures because that’s usually what get’s washed out the most in pictures!

Blush is my favorite part of every makeup look, so I think doing a look like this for graduation would be absolutely perfect.

3. Bronzed Makeup

If you want more of a bronzed goddess look for graduation, this would be PERFECT. The gold shimmery eye makeup really tops off the whole look.

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how beautiful her eyes are?

4. Smokey Eye

A smoked out eye look like this would be absolutely gorgeous for graduation. This is another look that goes a little heavy on the blush, and I absolutely love it.

5. Glitter Eyeshadow

In my opinion, you can never ever go wrong with glittery eye shadow. An eye look like this would be stunning for graduation! It’s bold enough to show up in pictures, but light enough to not be too harsh in person.

6. Natural Look

If you’re a clean girl aesthetic girlie, this is the look for you. The fluffy brows are everything! The only thing I’d add to this look is a bit of a lip tint, but that’s just me. It’s gorgeous as it is, too.

7. Lip Stain

A lip color like this would be so pretty for graduation. If you’re wanting to have something on your lips, I would do a lip stain that you’re sure will hold up through the graduation and taking pictures afterwards!

This is my all time favorite lip tint/ stain that I use every day!

8. Glowy Makeup

This is another beautiful glowy look for graduation! Her highlighter looks amazing. This is such a good look for taking pictures!

9. Nose Contour & Highlight

Doing a nose contour and highlight like this for graduation would be genius. It would look great under the lights at graduation and would look so cute in pictures.
