Step 1 – Create a Base

Apply Full-Coverage Foundation

Start with ColorStay™ Full Cover Foundation to create a smooth, neutral base. The creamy texture blends effortlessly for a soft, even finish, your perfect canvas for a fawn makeup base that feels weightless yet lasting.

Highlight & Contour

Brighten your features using Revlon ColorStay™ Concealer under the eyes, along the bridge of the nose, and on the forehead. Blend outward for a seamless, radiant skin effect.

Add a touch of SkinLights™ Prismatic Highlighter to your cheekbones, nose bridge, and brow bone for that luminous, glowy foundation finish inspired by natural deer skin.

Step 2 – Create Doe Eyes With Soft, Earthy Shadows

Blend Warm Browns Across the Lids

Sweep the warm matte tones from the Moonlit ColorStay™ Eyeshadow Quad across your crease and outer corners. These earthy hues define the eyes while keeping your look grounded and softly woodland glam.

Brighten the Inner Corners

Use a pale shimmer from the same palette to open the eyes and add a gentle sparkle that enhances your doe eyes.

Line + Wing

With ColorStay™ Eyeliner in brown or black, trace a soft wing on the upper lash line, then extend slightly inward for a subtle fawn-like point. Add white eyeliner to the lower waterline to create a bright, wide-eyed effect.

Add Mascara

Finish with ColorStay™ Mascara for full, fluttery lashes. For added drama, layer on falsies or individual lashes to enhance that delicate fawn eye makeup.

Step 3 – Draw the Iconic Fawn Details

Contour

Using a brown pencil or eyeshadow, softly contour the sides of your nose, cheeks, and temples. Focus on natural shadows that sculpt and define the face without harsh lines.

Add White Dots

With a white eyeliner pencil, dot across the tops of your cheeks and forehead. Keep sizes varied and organic—think sun-dappled spots glistening through the trees.

Define the Nose Tip

Shade the tip of your nose with a black or dark brown pencil, then highlight the bridge for dimension. These fawn makeup details complete your transformation with playful white dot makeup and a dainty deer nose effect.

Step 4 – Finalize the Upper Lip

Use ColorStay™ Eyeliner in black to define your upper lip, connecting a thin line from the cupid’s bow to the nostrils. Keep the lower lip neutral with concealer or foundation, then dab a hint of highlighter on the cupid’s bow for soft dimension.

The result? A fawn lip look that balances nude lip softness with a touch of natural glam.

Step 5 – Lock in Your Look

Finish with ColorStay™ Lock Setting Mist to seal your masterpiece. This setting spray ensures longwear makeup that lasts through Halloween parties, costume events, or creative photo shoots.

Final Tips for Your Fawn Transformation

Complete your look with soft antlers or a floral headband. Pair your makeup with cozy cream tones or rich browns for an effortlessly cohesive finish.

This look is perfect for fall festivals, Halloween parties, or anytime you want to express your artistic side.
