Often, it is hard to match your makeup with your evening dress for that formal party especially if you’re the kind of girl who chooses to wear bright and vivid colors. Sometimes a girl simply has to wear that red or orange dress than the usual formal black and gray colors. She does this because she can look sexier and stand out from the horde of party goers. About the makeup, it must fit the color of the dress. And more importantly, it has to be subtle yet sexy. To pull this off, wear a monochromatic makeup for the whole evening.
The trick to this sexy formal look is to first choose a monochrome hue as the color theme for your whole makeup. You could try a brown-bronze or apricot or peach hue. Using only this color, wear it in your cheeks, eyes, and lips in different textures. This would prevent you from looking too dull with the same color on your face.
First off, apply the foundation on your face that matches your skin tone. Try the MAC makeup Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation. This foundation is available in many different shades to match every skin tone. For your eyes, apply on a shimmery eye shadow with a deeper shade of your selected color. Define your eyes and eyebrows with a dark-colored eyeliner and eyebrow pencil respectively. After that, swipe your lashes with a dark mascara in the direction of your hair growth.
For your cheeks, matte texture is best. To create contour, use a blush in a shade darker than your skin tone and apply it just right under your cheek bone. And lastly for your lips, apply a shade of lipstick in a tone just like your skin then swab them over with a gloss with a shade that is in the same color that you have been using up to this time.
And now you’re ready for the night. With this makeup on, you will never fail to wow the other guests in the party. Become dazzling like Blake Lively who successfully sported a sexy monochromatic makeup during the Spike TV Scream 2010 Awards. With this, you are sure to have several heads turn as you show your stuff in a very formal and very sexy way.
