IDK about you, but Thanksgiving isn’t exactly a holiday I try to dress super cute or trendy for (hi, New Year’s Eve). For me, turkey day is strictly a stretchy-fabric-only situation, because of multiple helpings of stuffing/pie/mashed potatoes. But when it comes to my makeup look? You better believe I go all out. Pumpkin-colored lipstick, flushed cheeks, foliage-inspired eyeshadow…it’s all fair game on Thanksgiving, especially when my family insists on taking (and sharing) a billion photos throughout the day. So to help you find your ~lewk~ for November 26, I’ve rounded up the 10 prettiest Thanksgiving makeup ideas on Instagram. They’ll go perfectly with your favorite leggings and oversized sweater.

This Ultra-Glowy Skin for Thanksgiving
Glowy skin like this is a perfect makeup look for any holiday, but I especially love how low-maintenance it is for Thanksgiving. Just sweep a shimmery powder highlighter across your cheekbones, and then to get that extra level of dewiness, use your fingers to tap a super-thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor right on top.
ICYMI, red eyeshadow is having a moment and there’s honestly no better time than Thanksgiving to try the trend. Pair it with soft, peachy lips and bold, brushed-up brows and you’re good to go.
You can’t go wrong with a cat eye and ultra-long lashes for your Thanksgiving makeup look. It’s cute, classic, and super easy to do. Use a liquid liner to create your wing (you can make it as subtle or dramatic as you want) and then layer on a few coats of lengthening mascara.
Save the bright red lipstick for the Christmas season and opt for a rusty, brick-red lipstick like this for Thanksgiving instead. It has warm, brown undertones that feel super fall-ish and are ultra-flattering too.
Checking in on your lipstick between bites of turkey and mashed potatoes honestly sounds like the worst, which is why I’ll be wearing a stay-put lip stain in a pumpkin-y shade like this for Thanksgiving. It won’t smear, run, or smudge while you’re eating so you don’t need to think twice about touch-ups.
If rainbow eyes are too extra for your casual Thanksgiving dinner with the fam (which, fair), then you should def wear the look the night before when you’re out at the bar for Thanksgiving Eve. Hot tip: Prep your lids with a waterproof eye primer first—it’ll keep the shadows from bleeding together and melting off your face as the night goes on.
