Going for a Christmas party, a new year party or a birthday party? How are you going to do your makeup?
A look at the models on the catwalks of some of the more flamboyant fashion shows reminds one of a cross between Tinkerbell and Xena, the warrior princess. You know, Amazonian height but with fairy makeup.
Makeup Style #1. Fantasy Makeup.
For that ethereal look, get a shimmery eye shadow or a shimmer powder in silver, gold, bronze, or any flattering color that captures your fancy. You would also need a brilliant lip gloss to go over your lipstick.
Wear a lipstick that you like, which flatters you. Then go over it with the shimmery gloss. Add some shimmer powder or gold or silver flecks to the center of your lip to emphasize your pout.
For the eyes, how far dare you go?
You can apply metallic eyeshadow over your entire eyelid for a real head turning look.
Or you could use a more neutral shade like peach, brown or lilac, but highlight the inner corner of the eye by lining it with a silver or gold eye pencil.
Then lash out with black mascara.
If you like, you could even attach crystals to your eye lashes, with false lash glue. Or you could use a metallic mascara for gorgeous, magical lashes.
Finally, take a large powder brush and lightly dust shimmer powder over your cheekbones, your forehead, nose and chin.
Makeup Style #2. Dramatic Eye Makeup
Do you want Egyptian makeup or smoky eye makeup?
Both feature dramatic eyes.
However, strong eyes and strong lips would clash, so keep your look classy by going for nude lips.
For starters, do you want to use false lashes as well?
If you want really dramatic lashes, start off by trimming false lashes to fit your eyes and applying them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Or you could just use 3 coats of mascara instead when you are done.
