Pink Full Glam Birthday Makeup Tutorial (Beginner-Friendly!)

Pink Full Glam Birthday Makeup Tutorial for Black Women

I recently celebrated my birthday, so of course, I did a full glam birthday makeup look. I decided to do this pink full glam makeup look because it complemented my outfit well, and pink is my favorite color. Check out my YouTube tutorial below to see how I did this pink birthday makeup look step-by-step!

Pink Glam Eyeshadow

I start with the P. Louise Rumour Base in Shade 05 for all my eyeshadow looks. I used shades Lilo, Watermelon, Bubblegum, Oyster, and Cloud from the Beauty Bay “Berries” Eyeshadow Palette. Additionally, I used shade “Only One” from the P. Louise Wedding Wish XL Eyeshadow Palette.

Also, for my brows I used the new Brow Boss Brow Pencil by Colourpop in “Dark Brown” (gifted to me).

Lashes & Liner

To line my upper lash line, I used the Inglot Gel Liner in Shade #77 Black. I used the Make Up For Ever Aqua Resist Eye Pencil in Black to line my lower lash line. For mascara, I’ve been loving the Tarte Tartelette Tubing XL Mascara. I wore my favorite Amazon lashes (the PoopLaunch Cat Eye Lashes), which I applied with the House of Lashes Lash Glue. Lastly, I lined my waterline with this white eye pencil from the Sephora Collection.

Primers

To help my makeup stay locked in on my oily areas, I use the One/Size Oil Sucker Extreme Mattifying Primer. On the rest of my face, I used the Milk Makeup Hydrogrip Primer.

Foundation Combo

I wanted my makeup to be long-lasting (on my oily skin) and have a beautiful satin finish. For me, this means mixing a matte-finish foundation (so my makeup doesn’t slide) with a satin-finish foundation (for the glow). I’ve found that when I use a “radiant” or “glowy” foundation on its own, I get super oily (even with my favorite primers), which is why I don’t use them.

So I went with one of my favorite foundation combinations. I used the NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation (in shade Macao) mixed with the Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection Foundation in Shade Deep 29. I applied them using these Paw Paw Makeup Sponges from Amazon.

Concealer, Contour, Blush

When I highlight, contour, and do my blush, I always do the liquid and cream products first. Then, I go back over them with the powder products. To highlight my face, I used my two favorite concealers. The Tower 28 Swipe Serum Concealer (previously gifted) in Shade 16 SB, and the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer in Shade 35 N. I set them using the One/Size Ulitmate Blurring Powder in Ultra Pink.

I used the Black Opal Foundation Stick in “Suede Mocha” to contour. To set this, I go over my face with a skintone face powder (the One/Size powder below), then I use my Fenty Beauty Bronzer in “Coco Naughty” everywhere that I contoured. To make my blush pop, I love to use a liquid blush before a powder blush. ELF makes my favorite liquid blushes. I used the shade “Coming In Hot Pink” for this pink glam birthday makeup look. I went over it with the Tower 28 X Toni Bravo “Sunset Shirley” blush (previously gifted).

Face Powder

To set my entire face, I use the One/Size Boucle Silk Airbrushed Finishing Powder in “Deepest”. On my oily areas, I also use the MAC Pressed Blot Powder in Deep Dark. It’s great for touch-ups and keeping my oils in check.

Highlight

I wanted a pretty pink shimmery highlight for this full glam birthday makeup look. So I used shades Candy Trip and Fairy Kitten from the Made by Mitchell Comet Case.
