The fun of dressing up is putting the whole outfit together and glam up with the appropriate make up. The best part about wearing a little black dress is that almost any make up goes with it. However take note of the colours that best suits your skin tone. Here are a few ideas to help you create the make up look to compliment a little black dress
Always ensure that you have a clean and moisturized face for a smooth application. Disguise blemishes and dark circles with concealer that is a tone lighter that your natural skin. Lightly dab it using your ring finger. For a flawless porcelain complexion, apply foundation that is close to your skin tone. Also remember dust your foundation on your neck so that your face and neck will be of the same tone.
Shape your facial contours visually by enhancing your cheeks with blusher. Apply blusher from at the cheekbone moving the brush upward and outward towards the temple. Trim your brows to frame your face shape. The perfect eyebrow starts above the inside corner of your eye over the tear duct and ends at the outside corner above your eyelashes. Fill in your brows with eyebrow pencil.
Eye make up has an important role for a dramatic look. Use eye primer to allow your eye shadow to stay longer and to prevent creasing. To create a three dimension look, use purple, plum or brown and blend it into the crease of the eye. Cream eye shadow like Bobbi Brown Long-wear Cream Eye Shadow is easy to apply. Some make up experts like to use cream shadows as the eye base as they provide a sticky foundation.
Choosing the right eye shadow palette can be useful as they usually come in colours that compliment each colour. In palettes like these, the second lightest colour is used as the base. Apply it on the whole of the upper eye lid. With the second darker colour, apply it to a quarter of the upper eyelid from the outermost. Give depth to your eye with the darkest colour starting from the outer corners with a v shape. Blend the colours to prevent any harsh edges. Lastly use the lightest colour to highlight the brow bones which is the area below the eye brows.
Use a black or brown eye liner to accentuate your eyes. Smudge the eyeliner to a soft and sexy look. Finish with the final touches by applying two generous coats of mascara to your top and bottom lashes. Try Lancôme’s latest Définicils Precious Cells High Definition Amplifying Mascara. This mascara not only defines lashes but also helps to regenerate damaged follicles and conditions deep within to deliver think rich lashes using a Swiss Apple Extract.
