Most Creative Colourful Makeup Looks of 2019

2019 Was Dominated By Bright, Colourful Makeup, but These Were the Top Celebrity Looks

This year's makeup motto might have well been "go big, or go home." Bold, imaginative, colourful looks dominated our Instagram feeds and shattered all previous notions of how we wear and apply colour cosmetics. No longer is makeup purely 2D with the addition of rhinestones and textured glitter. Eyeliner has migrated from the lash line to the crease, and even eyelashes and eyebrows started to get a rainbow makeover.

Celebrities and their talented makeup artists seemed to enjoy the trend as much as we have because every event and red carpet appearance just gave us more colourful inspiration photos. From Lucy Boyton's bevy of graphic eyeliner looks to Millie Bobby Brown's rainbow CD floating eyeliner, this year's makeup was anything but boring.

Ready to be inspired? Check out the most creatively colourful makeup looks of the year, ahead.

Dove Cameron's White Eyeliner

Doja Cat always has colourful makeup looks, but her green-on-green eye look stood out for its bold outlines.
