Want to look glamorous but not over-the-top?Read on to learn how to achieve a subtle but glamorous makeup look.
1 First apply your concealer that matches your skin tone and apply it to any dark spots or blemishes. Also, apply lightly over your bags under your eyes.
2 This should also match your skin tone, and apply this over your skin for a nice creamy look. Make sure you blend well into skin or it could cause caky looking skin. If you have oily skin, also powder your face to hid oily spots.
3 Fill in eye brows with a shade 2 times darker than your natural hair color to look most natural.
4 Prep for eyeshadow. Apply eyeshadow prep or a little dab of coverup to your eyelid to cover dark spots and make you look younger and fresher. It not only makes your eyeshadow stay on longer, but keeps it from fading as well. Don’t forget to to your bottom lash line too.
5 The first eyeshadow you can use is a sky blue/baby blue color, which with a finger width brush your going to apply a very light wash all over the eyelid. Next use a light grey eyeshadow and apply in the crease of your eye. Put the most color on the outer part of the crease, and work inwards. Softly blend the grey so it feathers upwards. Now, with a creamy shimmery grey eyeshadow, apply on your lash line, and blend with the other grey. Add white eyeshadow over top of the shimmery grey eyeshadow. Now for more darker colors, were going to use a dark grey/blue eyeshadow. Using a pencil brush, apply again in the crease for a nice contrast and will really make your eyes pop! Blend well.Next, take a deep plum color(a dark blue/purple color) and apply to lower lash line. Almost done! Now, take a navy blue shadow and apply to the outer part of your eye socket in the crease. Don’t use to much because this is a very dark color and too much could make your look more gothic if done wrong.
6 Now for the tricky part, apply while eyeliner in your inner corners to highlight eyes. Next, apply black liquid eyeliner to your upper lash line. Make the ends thicker and wing up a little for a more edgy look. With a pencil liner, apply to lower lashline.
7 If you have small eyelashes, use false eyelashes. If not, curl and apply mascara.
8 Apply light pink blush to the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion.
9 Line lips and add a nude lip gloss to help eyes stand out.
