Pressed Flower Makeup Tutorial

Flowers add a timeless touch to any ‘fit. Get dolled up in a floral sun dress, or crown yourself with a headband full of daisies. When people say their closets are filled with florals, they usually mean the fake ones. Nobody’s walking around in a dress made with actual flowers (unless you’re a celeb at the Met Gala).

Cue the pressed flower makeup trend! Makeup artists are posing for Instagram with REAL flowers on their faces. These looks incorporate dainty blooms that are picked straight from the garden. Beauty gurus arrange elaborate bouquets with daisies, baby’s breath, rose petals and forget-me-nots to embrace nature in the most literal way possible.

Flower makeup may seem well beyond your reach. Trust us, it’s a lot easier than you think! With some eyelash glue and a handful of blooms, you’ll create a makeup look that’s totally Insta-worthy. Let’s get started!

The Best Places to Arrange Floral Bouquets

Makeup artists typically arrange pressed flowers around the eyes. For a quick and easy look, glue flowers in a crescent shape along each temple. Many like to cluster the blooms together with fronds of leaves radiating outward. A similar floral arrangement involves framing the outer corners of the eyes with big statement flowers like daisies.

One super popular design requires the smallest, daintiest blooms you can find! Encircle your alluring gaze with pressed flowers that sit all over the lid, brow bone and corners of the eyes. If you want a more polished look, line the flowers along your brow bone and lower lash line to accentuate the contours of your face.

Ready to take floral eye makeup to the next level? Pluck a few rose petals, and glue them to your lashes! This look is more tedious and requires lots of patience. But if you can pull it off, you’ll enchant onlookers in the blink of an eye (literally!). The secret is to glue the petals onto a set of falsies. Place the petals on the outermost corners, then glue the fake eyelashes onto your upper lash lines.
