Date night, prom or a special night out, these occasions call for an extra touch of glam to your makeup routine.With so many makeup looks to choose from either a natural red lip color or a sultry smoky eye look, for a special occasion you can go natural or playfully glamorous! You definitely do not want to step out of the house with a ton of makeup on your face and have it smudge through the night, especially if you are planning on dancing. So let’s start off with the basics for a makeup for special occasions. Primer Using a foundation primer will help to keep your foundation in place through all the sweating, especially if you are living in a hot climate. A primer will also help to smooth out any pores or fine lines on your face for an even application of foundation. Foundation A natural finish foundation that has a light to medium coverage is a safe choice for a natural finish makeup look. Simply buff the foundation into your skin using a sponge to blend the product into your jaw and neckline. Highlight Using a powder highlight on certain areas of you face can bring a luminescent glow to your look.You want to choose a highlight shade that matches your undertone, if you have a warm undertone than opt for a peachy tone highlight, same goes with pink undertone skin go for a pinkish highlight shade. You want to pick a highlight that is finely milted. Why, you may ask? Using a finly milted highlight can look natural and will blend into your skin with you looking like a disco ball. You want to to apply your highlight in a few key areas such as your tear duct along with the highest part of your cheekbones. For an added fuller lip, apply a bit on your cupids bow. Eyes If there is a part of your face that you want to play up, it should be your eyes. Using different shades of plums or grey can bring a sultry look to your night out. You can play it safe and go for neutrals but what’s the fun in that! Stat by defining your upper lash line with a pencil eyeliner, you can go for shades of navy blue, dark green and even grey that will help gives your eyes a bit of a pop. Add a bit of that same eyeliner to your lower lash line to define your eyes. If you want to add a bit of volume to your lashes, use a black eyeliner and slightly smudge it on your upper lash line closest to the roots of you lashes. Finish off with a lengthening and volumizing mascara for that added flirty look. To add a bit of boost to your lashes, false lashes are great for giving your lashes a bit of boost. Individual eyelashes are perfect for the most natural look. Simple apply them on the ends of your natural lashline. Lips: You want to keep everything simple so that you won’t have to do a ton of touch ups, the last thing you want is for a sexy red lip to be smeared all around your lips after a bit of kissing. For a more natural makeup look, go for a lip stain. It’s the easiest way to achieve a naturally red berry crushed lip without having it look too uninviting. Deep lipstick shades will end up fading after eating and drinking and you don’t want a bunch of sticky lip gloss all over your date’s lips do you!? With a lip stain you can be sure that your lip color will be kiss-proof through the night.
