Holiday Makeup
By mati. Filed in Makeup Tips |Tags: holiday makeup
How do you apply holiday or evening makeup without looking too done?
Use mostly matte or slightly shimmery – stay away from pearl or glitter which will only accentuate wrinkles. If your eyes are deep set, you can get away with more shimmer than if your eyes are not deep.
Usually, it is good to put a matte midtone (medium brown) on the brow bone and crease. This shadow should be very neutral and close to your natural color. A little bit darker is good.
On the lid, you have to decide on the color based on whether you need the eye to recede or come forward. If your eyes are deep set, you want them to come forward, and for that to happen, use a light shadow. If you want your eyes to look deeper, use a darkish neutral (brown or gray) on the lid itself.
Put highlighter under the eyebrow and in the inner corner of the eye.
For night makeup, use a midtone color on the browbone as well as under the outer corner of the eye. To create more drama, apply a dark color along the upper lashline, thicker towards the outer corner. This color can also be applied to the outer half of the upper lid.
If you choose to use eye liner, make sure you smudge the line so it doesn’t look too harsh.
I also found a nice post on youtube if you want to see an expert at work. Enjoy your NEW YEAR’s Eve party!
