"Silver Moon Crystal Power, Make Up" is the command that Usagi Tsukino uses with the Silver Crystal within her Eternal Moon Article to transform into her Sailor Guardian form: Eternal Sailor Moon. This phrase appears in the manga and crystal.
Manga[]
Usagi first uses this phrase to transform into her Eternal form in the Stars arc short story The Secret Hammer Price Hall. She transforms alongside Chibiusa, who uses Pink Moon Crystal Power, Make Up, to save Hotaru from Otakura but they are out-staged by Ruruna Kobe and Naruru Osaka.
In the main Stars arc, Usagi transforms into Eternal Sailor Moon using a phrase in acts 50, 51, and 54; however, the phrase she uses is different in the first few releases of the manga. Starting with the 2nd Edition and continued in the later editions including the 3rd and 4th, Usagi uses Moon Eternal, Make Up in act 50 and "Silver Moon Crystal Power, Make Up!" in acts 51 and 54. In the 1st edition, she uses Silver Moon in all three instances. In the original Nakayoshi magazine release, she uses "Moon Eternal Power, Make Up" first, and Moon Eternal, Make Up in the other two instances.
When she transforms in act 50, she calls upon her Holy Moon Chalice to transform and in act 51 it appears during the transformation. This is similar to her transformation into Super Sailor Moon where in the Infinity arc Usagi initially uses the power of her friends within the Holy Grail to transform into that form. This new Holy Grail is not pictured when she transforms in act 54 and The Secret Hammer Price Hall. Closer to her Dream arc transformation, Usagi does not lose her power if something happens to her friends and she transforms straight to her Eternal form from her civilian form.
Crystal[]
She has a few different transformation sequences using this phrase in Sailor Moon Cosmos.
The first transformation begins with the Eternal Moon Article opening and Usagi waving her hand in front of it as she shouts the phrase. Focus is changed to her crescent moon mark which shines and her body is obscured in a purple outline. The camera then zooms out in a flurry of feathers. Her gloves appear in ribbons and then her wings emerge in feathers. Her boots appear from ribbons and while spinning her sailor fuku appears. She finishes spinning and then Eternal Sailor Moon poses.

Trivia[]
- The transformation in Sailor Moon Cosmos beginning with a shot of the Eternal Moon Article and then focusing on Usagi's crescent mark is a callback to the Moon Eternal, Make Up transformation in the 90s anime which starts the same way.
- In the song Ai wo Shinjiteru, for which Naoko Takeuchi wrote the lyrics, Usagi calls out "Silver Moon Crystal Power" several times.
