Beauty Tips for an Evening Look

Donna Trolet asked:


When you are getting ready to go out for the evening you will want to make sure that you know how to apply your makeup in a way that will give you a gorgeous night time look. Many women wear their makeup the same way whether it is daytime or evening. This can lead them to look washed out and pale in the evening hours. You want to make sure that you apply your makeup a certain way to accomplish that great evening look when you head out for the night.

The first thing that you want to do is to start with the right foundation, it should be light and the right shade for your skin tone. Then you will want to use three different shades of eye shadow on your eyes. Start by applying the lightest color to your entire eyelid up to the bottom of your eyebrow. Take the medium shade and apply it to your your eyelid and just above the crease. The dark color will be applied to right above the crease and around to right below your bottom eyelashes, this will create a smoky look that is great for evening. Next, you are going to apply your eyeliner and your mascara.

When it comes to blush, you are going to use a little more for an evening look than you would if it were daytime. You want to apply it to the apples of your cheeks, unless you have a very round face. Women with round faces will want to apply it up near their temples. You should use a darker lip gloss for the evening and if you are trying to make your lips appear fuller then you will outline them with that same shade of lip liner and then apply the gloss. To really make them fuller take a lighter shade of lip gloss and add it to just the middle part of your lips. Now you are ready for your evening.
