School Spirit Tutorial: 2 College Game Day Makeup Looks
It’s that time of year again… FOOTBALL SEASON! As every college girl knows, nothing is more fun than joining your entire school at your stadium for a great game – the energy and excitement, the smell of fresh fall air, tailgating with your friends… what could be better?
One of the most fun aspects of game day is getting decked out in your school colors to show your spirit. To help you do that, I have created two game day makeup looks that can work for any school – just switch the colors I used for your own school color combos and cheer for your team in style!
The Tutorial:
Below, I’ve detailed the products I used in the video and some extra tips to help you get the looks.
1. School Colors Eyeshadow Look
Products Used:
- White Base – NYX Eyeshadow Base
- Green Eyeshadow – CoastalScents 88 Palette
- Gold Eyeshadow – M.A.C. “Winner”
- Highlighter Eyeshadow – LORAC Matte Satin Shadow in “Posh”
- Black Eyeliner – M.A.C. Eye Kohl
- Liquid Liner – e.l.f. Essential Liquid Liner
- Mascara – Maybelline “The Falsies”
Tips To Help You Rock This Look Out:
- If you have white as a main school color and have darker skin, you may want to opt for a shimmery silver instead. It will still have the white effect, but won’t look as harsh.
- For those super colorful looks, like University of California San Francisco’s white and teal, use a creamy white base to help the vibrant colors pop.
- Football makeup is all about creativity, so feel free to add glitz, glitter and whatever you want to look fabulous while cheering your school on!
2. Easy Colorful Eyeliner Look
Products Used:
- Concealer – M.A.C. Studio Finish
- Brown Eyeshadow – Estee Lauder Pure Color in “Sepia Sand”
- Highlighter Eyeshadow – LORAC Matte Satin Shadow in “Posh”
- Purple Eyeliner – NYX Slide On Pencil in “Purple Blaze”
- Mascara – Maybelline “The Falsies”

I go to LSU, our colors are purple and gold, and that purple eyeliner color from the second one would be perfect for game day. Thanks!
Emily
I go to Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, and our school colours are purple and gold, so either look would be perfect for homecoming! Awesome video :)

I go to university of Arkansas and I’m pretty sure red and black are a little to harsh for the first look. maybe some red liner like the second will work!
Suzi
Terrific! These are spirit-appropriate looks that don’t make you look like a clown. Great job!
Megan
So much fun! I love both of these looks, they are fun and yet chic and clean and like Suzi said don’t make you look like a clown. I can not wait for our next football game so that I can try one of these out!!!!!

I go to the University of Delaware; our colors are blue and yellow. Blue hens represent! I’ll definitely be using one of these at the next football game.

Thank you everyone! I’m glad you all are enjoying the looks :)

I love the tutorial on team colors and to go a little farther – you could also do your manicure in your team colors. This could also work for some female athletes, maybe.

I have a great new line of school color makeups. It’s real makeup (not face paint) in school / team colors, 3-in-1 eyes, lips and face. Can you take a look and let me know what you think?
Thanks!
