Hi Karen!

I am going to my very first formal dance (homecoming) in about a week.

I’m using a navy strapless gown with my hair down, as well as I have NO concept what makeup to wear.

I want it to be type of dramatic, however not as well out there. Plus, it needs to stay put.

Any tips as far as colors as well as brands?

Благодаря много!

Before we get into details, right here are some things to consider:

Фотография. possibilities are you’ll be in some pictures, so you’ll want makeup that looks great in photos. When I do makeup for pictures, I wear a bit more than I normally would. Natural, everyday-type looks, those done with a extremely light hand, can look washed out under flash photography.

Leading as much as Homecoming, take a few method swings at your look. Go from begin to surface as well as ask good friends or household (or utilize your camera’s shutter timer) to snap some test photos with the flash. It’ll provide you time to change your method before the dance.

Long-wear products. If you plan to dance the night away, you’ll want your makeup to last, so primers, water resistant formulas as well as long-wear products (like lipsticks vs. gloss) are musts. Layering likewise assists boost wear time.

To go with your navy dress. I’m believing a shimmery purplish blue smokey eye with pinkish nude lips as well as a sheer, matte pink cheek. What do ya think? I can see it now… The colors should pop without looking to matchy-matchy or melodramatic.

A shimmery peachy eye primer like metropolitan Decay Eyeshadow primer Potion in transgression ($17)

Стъпка по стъпка

Start with a thin layer of eyeshadow primer over your entire eyelid.

Next, dust a layer of the shimmery golden beige shadow over the primer as well as along the lower lash line with a something fluffy like the MAC 217 Blending Brush.

Fill the lid utilizing the shimmery blue eye pencil, and….

…with the exact same pencil, line your lower lash line.

Now, with the MAC 239 Eye Shader Brush, pat the shimmery purplish blue eyeshadow directly on top of the blue, drawing the color just barely into the crease. blend away the edges with a MAC 217 utilizing a windshield wiper movement in the crease.

To strike out the look as well as truly provide it that smokey feel, tons a MAC 214 short Shader clean with the shimmery purplish blue eyeshadow as well as utilize it to smudge the blue pencil you lined a minute ago.

Make ’em notice those peepers by lining your waterlines (both upper as well as lower) with the black eye pencil.

Curl your lashes, as well as apply two coats of water resistant mascara to both the tops as well as bottoms.

Now for the apples of your cheeks! Smile as well as sweep the sheer matte pink blush on them utilizing a fluffy blush clean like the MAC 129.

Finish by lining as well as filling out your lips with a nude lip liner as well as one coat of nude lipstick.
