10 Douyin-Inspired Makeup Looks Perfect for Your Next Night Out
Recently, Douyin (TikTok's Chinese sister app) makeup has been all the rage online.
The effortlessly beautiful looks are known for having a flawless, glowy base, the most glittery, colorful eyeshadow you can imagine and doll-like, wispy lashes. This stunning recipe just so happens to be perfect for making you sparkle all night long. Getting ready for a night out? Here are 10 of our favorite looks to recreate.
Smokey Eye
This sultry makeup look combines the classic nighttime smokey eye with Douyin's signature glossy lip and glowing skin. The dainty beauty marks are the icing on the cake to help accentuate your beautiful features.

Rhinestones Galore
The focus of this dazzling look is the shimmering rhinestones around the eyes, topped with a sleek cat-eye wing. With these gems, there's no way you won't be catching everyone's attention wherever you go.

Queen of Hearts
It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day for you to rock this romantic makeup look. Graphic liner will always be appropriate for a night out, so show some love with these adorable hearts around the eyes.
@cczuleighka Such a cute Valentine's look 🥺🥺🫶🏼 #makeuptutorial #douyinmakeup #valentinesmakeup #pinkmakeuplook #pinterest #aesthetic #filipino #filipinoamerican #fyp #foryou #trend ♬ the perfect pair – beabadoobee
Glittery Aegyo-Sal
Another prominent feature of Douyin makeup is contouring your aegyo-sal, also known as the undereye crease. This technique was popularized in South Korea to make wearers look younger and more innocent. To amplify the cuteness even more, apply chunky glitter above the aegyo-sal contour, as seen in this peachy Douyin look.

Pretty When You Cry
Tears can be gorgeous, too! If you've been on TikTok in the past month, chances are you've seen the viral "Crying Girl" makeup look. Take this trend to the next level with these glamorous bejeweled tears.

Out of This World
This metallic, purple eye will make you look like you came straight from outer space. For extra flair, incorporate multi-colored contact lenses to feel like even more of a space goddess.
@helloitsjessicaa Purple fairy makeup vibes. I saw this look on xhs and wanted to try it out! I sadly do not have such a light purple eyeshadow. The nyx purple comes off more pinky toned than expected #cbeauty #douyinmakeup #fairymakeup #fairymakeuplook #chinesemakeuplook #elfcamoconcealer #unleashia #flowerknows #xiaohongshu #xiaohongshumakeup #nyxcosmetics ♬ Boy's a liar Pt. 2 – PinkPantheress & Ice Spice
Rocker Chic
There's nothing that says "night out" more than an edgy, rocker-inspired makeup look with a sharp, chic cat-eye and a matte red lip. And if you really want to commit to the aesthetic, add a black leather jacket!

An Ode to Viva Magenta
Pantone's color of the year is "Viva Magenta," so you know we had to include at least one deep-pink makeup look. This vibrant look uses pink on the lid, cheeks and lips. And, as always, everything looks better with glitter around the eyes.

Purple Haze
Purple might just be our favorite color since Taylor Swift came out with "Lavender Haze" in October. To commemorate the track, try out this shiny, purple eyeshadow look—and use it for inspiration while coming up with your outfit for the Eras Tour.

Au Naturale
Back to basics! There's something so timeless about a no-makeup makeup look. If you want to let your natural beauty shine on your next night out, keep it simple with a little chunky glitter on the eye, subtle blush and a glossy lip.
