Apply make-up for the evening.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Foundation, powder, blush, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick or lip gloss and lip liner, also eye lash curler.
  1. Step 1

    The first thing you need to do is choose your shades according to your skin tone.Only you know what suits you best. If you are new to wearing make-up you can experiment with different combinations till you find one you are comfortable with.

  2. Step 2

    Then apply your foundation making sure to cover evenly and blending at the jaw line so it does'nt look like you have a mask on. Then comes your face powder. The powder sets your foundation. It comes in translucent if you dont want color. Blush is next. Apply to your cheek bones up to your hair line.

  3. Step 3

    Next is your eyeliner. Everyone has their own style but I suggest that you apply to upper and lower lids for evening. Eye shadow is next. Apply the darker shade on the bottom of your eye lid and lighter on top. Blend them well. Mascara is next. You can use an eyelash curler if you like. If you do always curl them first. Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes. There is no set amount, just whatever you like.

  4. Step 4

    Now we come to the lipstick or gloss. Once again this is a personal preference. Once applied you can apply the lip liner. Just lightly outline the outside edges of your lips. Usually a shade slightly darker than the lipstick or gloss. You are ready for your evening, ENJOY!!!!

Tips & Warnings
  • Also with the darker eye shadow go along under the eye to blend with eye liner. It makes a softer line. Also for some extra glitz you can apply some glitter to your eye lids. Also I prefer waterproof mascara. It wont smear.
  • Be careful not to get glitter into your eyes or you will ruin all the work you just did when your eyes start watering.
