Non-Senior Cheer Look

Step 1: Prep

Begin by adding loose setting powder under the eyes. This step is optional, but it helps catch fallout and makes cleanup quick. Dust a small amount of loose powder on the eyelids as well to create an even base.

Step 2: Soft Hot Pink Shimmer

Use a dome-shaped brush to lightly apply the hot pink shimmer eyeshadow. Press it into the crease and outer corner. Switch to a fluffy brush and blend the color through the crease. Keep the pink soft and muted rather than bold.

Step 3: Light Pink Shimmer on the Lid

Use your fingertip to press the light pink shimmer eyeshadow onto the lid. Apply it from the inner lid to the middle lid and continue until it meets the shimmer from the outer corner. Blend gently across the lid with a fluffy brush so the shades come together softly.

Step 4: Mascara

Add mascara to the lashes. Two coats help add length and definition for the mat and lights.

Step 5: Blush

Use your fingertips to pick up the blush and swipe the color onto your cheeks to build it. Blend it with a blush brush, then press a touch more color onto the apples of the cheeks and cheekbones.

Step 6: Lips

Clean the lips with a makeup wipe to remove oils, balm, or makeup. Shake your lip stain pen and apply by lining your lips first, then filling them in with a thin coat. Let it dry for about a minute.

To keep the color transfer-protected, avoid using chapstick, lip balm, or gloss underneath or over the lip stain. Allow it to stay in its dry matte finish.

This completes the Non-Senior makeup look for Magic Athletics.

Senior Team Cheer Look

Step 1: Prep

Apply a thin layer of primer across the eyelid to help the eyeshadow stay in place. Add loose setting powder under the eyes to catch fallout. Dust a little powder on the eyelids for a smooth base.

Step 2: Matte Pink Crease

Start with the matte pink eyeshadow. Use a dome-shaped brush to press the color into the crease. Blend it gently with a fluffy brush to keep the shade soft and muted.

Step 3: Charcoal Shimmer Outer Corner

Use the dome brush to press the charcoal shimmer into the outer corner in a V shape. For a sharper line, place your finger from the outer corner of your eye toward the end of your eyebrow as a guide.

Blend the outer corner into the crease with the fluffy brush to soften the edges.

Step 4: Light Pink Shimmer Lid

Use your fingertip to press the light pink shimmer across the inner and middle lid. Blend softly across the lid with a fluffy brush.

Step 5: Pop of Hot Pink

Pat a small amount of the hot pink shimmer where the charcoal shade meets the light pink. This gives a small pop of color and ties the shades together.

Step 6: Brighten the Center

Press a bit more light pink shimmer into the center of the eyelid for a pink glow. Blend lightly to smooth everything together.

Step 7: Mascara

Apply two coats of mascara for added length and definition.

If you added loose powder under the eyes, sweep it away now along with any fallout.

Step 8: Optional Magnetic Lashes

If you plan to wear lashes, add them next. Apply regular eyeliner first if you prefer a guide.

Then apply liquid magnetic liner directly over that line. Apply two coats for secure grip. Place the magnetic lashes onto the liner and press gently so each magnet connects.

Step 9: Lips

Clean your lips with a makeup wipe to remove oils or makeup. Shake your lip stain pen. Line your lips, then fill them in with a thin coat. Allow it to dry for about a minute.

To keep the lip stain transfer-protected, avoid using chapstick, balm, or gloss underneath or on top. Let the color remain in its matte finish.

This completes the Senior Team Look for Magic Athletics. The pink smokey eye is soft, blended, and competition-ready.
