Finalé Look

Dolled up look for Junior Prom, eyes were lined with brown eyeliner by L'Oreal, and a touch of green NARS shadow just below the water line for a pop.  Skin brushed up with a small cover up stick, bit of bronzing powder (NARS Laguna), and a quick dusting of gold shimmer (True Gold by bareMinerals) across highlighted facial features, collar bones, and shoulders.  Lashes by MAC.

Event: Prom

Day or night, make a statement and add some flair to your look with the dark lip. Elegant for an evening special occasion event, or fun for a casual day wear accent.  Everyone's skin tone is different, so playing with dark shades of lip color in order to suit your skin tone is encouraged. x

Using dual coloring for lip - deep plum purple lip pencil by MAC: Night Moth combined with a blue/red lipstick by MAC: Sin.  Using liner to line around entire inner water line, with L'Oreal Paris Black Noir Eye Pencil. Nars: Laguna Bronzer used to dust across face, shoulders, and collar bones for touch of color and overall tone evening.

Using both Foundation + Concealer by MAC for facial accent and contouring.  Light dusting of bronzer using NARS: Laguna.  Brow Filler by MAC: Lingering, in order to bring out // accent facial features & to create overall effect.  Black liner within both upper and lower waterline - smudged along upper lid using L'Oreal Pencil Eyeliner: Black Noir.  Nude lip left as is (no coloring // makeup after foundation) - as I like to keep the lip simple when the eye is intensely lined.  Swipe Chapstick across lips as needed to keep lips soft and natural.  

This look is both versatile & chic - as it can be either lightened up or further intensified depending upon the occasion and your personal taste.  Some prefer their makeup to be a bit lighter during the day, especially in more casual settings.  In order to lighten up this look simply skip the brow filler / eyeliner - keeping to a subtle foundation for coverage, dusting of bronzer (again as light or dark as you please) & brush of mascara.  On that same token, for a darker look, expand upon the lined eye with a brush of shadow in order to create a smokey eye for night events (see next slide).

Super smoky eye with a subtle nude lip - great for evening events.

Heavily made up for this piece - this look is best for nighttime and dark settings: whether its a date night or a night on the town with the girls.  Smokey Eye using NARS shadow w purple and grey undertones X nude lip using Marrakech scroll stick by BUXOM.  Eybrows touched up using MAC pencil: Lingering.  Bronzed skin w dusting of Blush by MAC.
