The Allure of the Douyin Makeup Style Look

The Douyin makeup style look is all about creating a magical and enchanting appearance, using glitter, shimmer to add a touch of fantasy to your everyday look. It's notably different from for example Korean beauty trends where they might focus more on dewy skin with very natural enhanced eyes.

Chinese makeup is definitely more focused on a soft-matte skin finish, with glossy lips and lots of drama and artistry on the eyes. It can get really complex in eye makeup details but we make it easy at Cloudicos with our Cosmic Eyelights, which is a loose glitter pigment that is easy to swipe on and achieve a sparkling effect!

Equinox: Our best selling blend of pink and silver tones. Perfect for creating a celestial eye look that's out of this world. It's popular because it's quite versatile and a beautiful feminine colour.

Cascade: A light blue with icy reflections, for creating an incredible cool toned makeup look. For frosty looks, a light blue is an essential to everyone's collections and quite a popular tone in Chinese make up trends.

Universe: A dazzling confetti styled colour with a mix of tones like a unicorn. This one's also super popular, like pastels and fun multicoloured galore. Really pretty, you'll have to try it for yourself and see!

Yue: A magical teal with a mix of periwinkle and blue, pink and purple glitter. Channel the beauty of the northern lights with this enchanting shade.

How to Apply Cosmic Eyelights

Now that you've selected your favourite Cosmic Eyelight shade, it's time to create your Douyin makeup style look. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve a glittery and magical effect:

Step 1: Prep Your Eyelids

Start by prepping your eyelids with an eyeshadow primer. This will help the eyeshadow adhere better and last longer. This is optional however as for the lazy makeup days, you can totally swipe it on by itself.

Step 2: Apply the Base Shade

Apply it all over the lid with your finger, lightly dipped into the product or swiped on with a dense brush. We don't recommend a fluffy brush as it's a loose pigment and it might get everywhere! Just pick any tone, and put it all over your eye.

Step 3: Add Dimension

Pick a more sparkly shade if you have one to put it in your inner corner, or use it underneath your bottom lash line to define the bottom of your eye with sparkle too!

Step 4: Add  an incredible eyeliner

If you put a mixing medium such as Duraline or even some water with your product (mix it in the lid of your glitter or use a separate tool like a cup), then you can transform the colour into an eyeliner. Works best with colours such as Jasper which are deeper. Use a thin eyeliner brush to apply a small wing, so pretty!

Step 5: Blend and Define - optional

If you want, you can add some matte eyeshadows around the eye to blend your pigments towards or you could have done a matte base as well before you began. Totally optional.

Step 6: Finish with Mascara

Complete your Douyin makeup style look with mascara to enhance your eye makeup and make your eyes pop. Give your lashes a good curl before you do!

And then add some false lashes, individuals are best for the classic Douyin makeup look.

Voila! You've successfully achieved a glittery and magical Douyin makeup style look with the help of Cosmic Eyelights. It's an easy and fun way to add a touch of enchantment to your beauty routine.
