18 Homecoming Dance Makeup Ideas Guaranteed To Win You The Crown

February 21, 2025 By Karen Lang

Homecoming season is one of my favorites; people go out of their way to look beautiful and glammed up, and I understand it can be a little tricky to choose your homecoming dance makeup. Luckily, you have me and I have this list of trendy homecoming dance makeup ideas and looks guide!

Kidding aside and just a bit contemplative, I have written about different makeup up trends and makeup looks and I definitely see a shift to skin and embracing your natural beauty. So naturally, this is where my quest gravitated to, just good looks and amazing talent from the many professional makeup artists consistently providing us with drool-worthy makeup inspiration. Following the trends as of late, here’s a list of homecoming dance makeup ideas that show off beautiful skin, exquisite makeup, and all sorts of beauty revivals.

Homecoming Dance Makeup Ideas Fit for the Queen

 

1. Classic Red Lips

Adding a winged liner to a classic red lip gives your eye a flirty, feminine look. Here’s a tutorial on how you can get the perfect red lips for the homecoming dance.

3. Classy and Clean Neutral Glam

4. Glitter and Class

Creating a glam look with glitter does not need to look tacky, keeping it minimal and nude everywhere else, gives the look a more youthful energy.

5. Romantic Princess

The romantic look is one of the prettiest looks in makeup history. Pastels and dainty pink colors beautifully frame the face for that innocent and girly look.

Popping a champagne shadow on your eye not only highlights your lids beautifully, it also makes you look fresh and young.
