Glam Eye Makeup: How to Create Bold Eye Makeup Looks?

What is Glam Eye Makeup?

Glam eye makeup means bold, show-stopping eye looks that shimmer, have definition, and a touch of drama. Although different periods have their own makeup trends, glam eye makeup is still popular in 2025 but in a modern way. Here is an overview of the latest trends:

Softer, more subtle glam over very heavy looks: Slowly, loud colors are going out of trend and light pastel shades are becoming more popular, especially among modern day brides opting for day weddings. Glam looks can be created with a modern twist as well! 

Shimmer & Sparkle: Liquid eyeshadows, metallic chrome shades and foiled eye shadows are very popular. 

Bold Eyeliner: Colorful, bold graphic liners create an extra impact and are very popular now along with floating eyeliner looks that create a statement. 

Glossy eyelids and Wet Looks: For a gorgeous, effortless look that is trending now, try glossy shiny eye makeup. This kind of makeup looks very trendy while also looking glamorous. 

People also often experiment with cut crease makeup, tiny rhinestones and other glitter accents to enhance their eyes and draw attention to them! Whether it’s a red carpet look done by a makeup artist, or just you wanting to make a statement at a party, glam eye makeup is the way to go! 

How to Create Glam Eye Makeup Looks?

Whether you are a seasoned makeup artist or just a beginner, learning how to do a classic smokey eye always comes handy. Let’s get into decoding our first bold eye makeup look!

Look 1: Makeup Studio Pro’s Take on a Bold Smokey Eye Look

Step 1: Prime your eyelids 

When doing bold eye makeup, prepping your eye lids is the most important step because our eyelids have fine lines and it is important to prime them well to create a long lasting base for your glam eye looks. 

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Eye Primer 

Step 2 : Start applying eyeshadow 

Begin by applying a neutral base on your eyelids. You should always start with a neutral shadow and build the pigment up slowly to add more depth and dimension to your bold eye makeup look.

Recommendation: Use the Moondust Eyeshadow Palette (EP045) which has deeper grays, purples, gold and rich jewel tones. The palette has both matte and shimmers shades to create versatile glam eye makeup looks. 

Step 3: Use a cream eyeliner

Use a cream eyeliner which has darker shades for the crease and to further define your eye shape. Remember to blend the product well to avoid any harsh lines. 

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Cream Eyeliner Palette (EP011)

Step 4: Layer more eyeshadow 

Add any dark matte shades of your choice as your transition shade and remember to blend it well. Then pick any sparkle or shimmer shade and apply it to the centre of your eyelids for the bold eye makeup look & glam effect. 

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Moondust eyeshadow

Step 5: Add some more drama 

To make your eyes even more defined use a cat eye or winged eye liner which will create a neat, defined line to enhance your features for your bold eye makeup look. 

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Fluid Eyeliner 

Step 6: Add some magic to your eyelashes with volume mascara 

Tie the whole look together with some eye mascara for defined, lengthened lashes with maximum volume. If you want to go all out, you can also add some false eyelashes to finish your glam eye makeup look. 

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Volume Mascara 4D Extra Black.

And voila you have successfully created a classic smokey eye look using just a few simple products like Mascara, a versatile Eyeshadow Palette and some eyeliner makeup. 

Look 2: Makeup Studio Pro’s Glam Party Look

Step 1: Prime your eyelids 

Once again we start with some eye primer makeup to even out any discoloration and create a smooth base for the eyeshadow. 

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Eye Primer 

Step 2 : Start applying eyeshadow 

Next we used a transition color for the crease area to add depth and definition.

Recommendation: Use the peach matte shade from the EP103 palette to get the desired effect. 

Step 3: Enhance the eyes

Use a shimmer shade for the inner corner of your eyes to brighten them and add some more dimension. Bold eye makeup draws attention to the eyes and this easy trick enhances the look further. 

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Cream Lumiere Eyeshadow in a shade of your liking. 

Step 4: Layer more eyeshadow 

Next on the center of your eye lid we use a soft shimmer shade from the eyeshadow palette to enhance the look. Then layer with a baked eyeshadow which adds a luminous finish to the makeup. The first shade we picked was Precious Pearl giving a radiant touch to the eyes.

Recommendation: Use the eyeshadow palette EP112 using the shade precious pearl to give a radiant touch to the eyes and then layer with the eyeshadow palette EP111. 

Step 5: Add some more drama 

To create a smokey effect we used a creamy kohl pencil blending it into the outer corners for depth. We also applied the same kohl as kajal on the waterline area.

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Creamy Kohl Pencil. 

Step 6: Add some magic to your eyelashes with volume mascara 

Tie the whole look together with some eye mascara for defined, lengthened lashes with maximum volume. If you want to go all out, you can also add some false eyelashes to finish your glam eye makeup look. 

Recommendation: Use the Makeup Studio Pro Mascara Ultimate Curl or any eyelashes from our selection of your liking to create that ultimate statement look.
