Evening Make Up

Evening Make Up: When the dusks fall, a different make up is needed to counter the dimmer lighting. This is especially relevant for an evening wedding banquet or going to a prom at night.

How to Apply Evening Make Up

1. The first step is to correct your skin color with the green and yellow stick (Rule of the thumb: Less is more - apply them in dabbing motion).

2. Concealer - dab the concealer over the corrective stick colours. Be careful not to wipe out the corrective colors.







3. Foundation - dab the foundation in a downwards and outwards motion down the jaw line.

4. Use your brush and sweep the compact powder over your face.

5. Apply your eye liner using a eye pencil getting as close to the lash line as possible.

6. Eye shadows, base, highlighter, contour - you can use a little sparkle for your base color for special events but do not over do it.

7. Using 2 shade darker eye shadow colour, highlight over your eye liner pencil.







8. Apply your mascara to the root.

9. Eye brows - brush your brows up and outwards with a little hairspray. Do remember to feather your strokes when you shade your brows.

10. Blusher - for evening make up, you can go heavier on the colour.



11. Lip liner - shape the lower peak first then adjust the higher peak to look like the lower peak of your lips.

12. Apply your lipstick

13. Re-coat your mascara






Done!
