Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Foundation
  • Rosy blush
  • Highlighting powder
  • Metallic silver eyeshadow
  • Black or charcoal eyeshadow
  • Black eyeliner
  • False lashes
  • Clear lip gloss
  1. Step 1

    Apply foundation evenly to your face and neck, choosing a color that matches your skin tone as closely as possible. Wear a subtle rosy blush, applying first to the apples of your cheeks and then gently blending up the cheekbones.

  2. Step 2

    Use a shimmery highlighting powder, applying to any area where light naturally falls, such as the forehead, nose, upper cheekbones and even the chest.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a metallic silver eyeshadow, applying boldly over the entire eye, including below the lid. Remember that high fashion makeup is dramatic, so create sharp lines which follow the natural shape of your eye. The silver should reach up to the brow ridge and extend out to the sides, even with the outer tip of your eyebrows.

  4. Step 4

    Create a deep shadow with a black or charcoal colored eyeshadow, creating a sideways "V" shape. Begin in the eye crease and slightly above, working to a point just above and beyond the corner of your eye, and then create the lower line by working down, moving below the lower lashes slightly. Blend the dark shadow thoroughly, starting light and adding more as needed.

  5. Step 5

    Start your eyeliner just above and beyond the outer corner of your eye, coming down to the lashes sharply and then following the lash line to the inner corner. Create a thin even line along the entire lower lid as well, working just at the roots of the lashes. Finish your high fashion eyes with thick, long, dramatic false lashes.

  6. Step 6

    Get full lips the quick and easy way by applying a dusting of shimmering silver eyeshadow to the center of each lip and then covering with clear lip gloss.
