Fun Makeup Challenges to Try With Friends

Let’s be real—some of the best memories with friends don’t come from fancy outings… they happen right at home with messy buns, comfy pajamas, and a makeup bag spilled out on the floor.

Fun Makeup Challenges to Try With Friends
Whether you’re planning a sleepover, a chill girls’ night in, or just want something fun to do on a weekend, these makeup challenges are seriously next-level fun. No pressure to look perfect—just get creative, laugh until your stomach hurts, and maybe capture some epic before-and-after pics too.


🎨 1. No Mirror Makeup Challenge

This one always brings the biggest laughs.
Try doing a full face of makeup without using a mirror. The results? Honestly… chaotic. Think crooked eyeliner, wild contouring, and misplaced lashes—and you will need selfies to remember the disaster.


🖐️ 2. Blindfolded Makeup Challenge

It’s as wild (and hilarious) as it sounds.
Take turns applying makeup on each other—while blindfolded. No peeking. The final reveal will have everyone screaming. Bonus: film it for Reels or TikTok because you will go viral 😂


⏱️ 3. The 5-Minute Face-Off

Set a timer and GO!
Try to complete your whole makeup routine in just 5 minutes. Trust me—your brain forgets everything under pressure. Someone always ends up with one brow and half a lipstick.


🎲 4. Spin the Wheel Challenge

Get a spinner app or DIY a cute paper wheel with categories like:

  • Blue eyeshadow only

  • Lipstick as blush

  • Glitter everywhere
    Spin it and whatever it lands on—you have to do it. No backing out!


👯 5. Opposite Hand Challenge

Here’s your chance to test your ambidextrous skills (or lack of them).
If you're right-handed, use only your left hand for your full face—lefties, swap it too. Expect wobbly lines and shaky blending. It's harder than it sounds!


🤝 6. Do Each Other’s Makeup

No mirrors, full trust.
Each friend does someone else’s makeup without letting them peek until the end. Then… reveal time. Prepare for chaos, giggles, and some surprisingly decent glam moments too.


💅 7. One Color Only

Pick a color from a bowl and that’s your makeup theme for the night.
Blue, pink, purple, green—you have to do your entire look using shades of that color. Eyes, lips, cheeks. All in. It’s tough but sooo fun.


🎭 8. Celebrity Look-Alike Challenge

Pick your favorite celeb—Rihanna, Ariana, Selena, Zendaya—and try recreating their iconic makeup look. Whether it’s their red carpet glam or everyday glow, it’s your moment to channel the star within.


🎥 9. Recreate TikTok Trends

Ever tried contouring with lipstick or using blush all over your face?
Now’s your chance. Pick a trending TikTok makeup hack and recreate it. Some of them work shockingly well, and others… well, let’s just say they make for great content.


🌈 10. Rainbow Challenge

Assign each person a different color of the rainbow and create makeup looks inspired by that hue. When you're all done, take a group photo. The result is an aesthetic, colorful masterpiece perfect for Instagram 🌈✨


💄 My Go-To Products for Makeup Game Nights

Make sure you have a few of these on hand—they make experimenting even more fun:

  • Colorful eyeshadow palettes (go bold!)

  • Makeup brushes & sponge sets for everyone

  • Waterproof eyeliner (laugh-proof)

  • Micellar water + wipes for those mid-challenge cleanups

  • Lipstick multipacks with wild colors

  • A light-up vanity mirror for that glam station vibe


💕 Final Thoughts

Makeup doesn’t have to be serious. It’s art, it’s therapy, it’s bonding—and sometimes, it’s just about creating a glittery mess with your favorite people. So the next time you're planning a chill night in, skip the movies and go for the makeup challenges instead. I promise, the laughs will last longer than any lipstick ever could.

Tag your besties, bring the snacks, and let the makeup madness begin!
