Dramatic makeup is absolutely perfect for a special, dreamatic evening! Party makeup for that much-anticipated party where your glamourous face becomes the star of the party!
The final results of dramatic makeup applications are definitely worth all the allure and time it takes to paint your face to makeup magic. Heavy evening cosmetic applications are stunning and sexy. All glamour girls should stand out, and what better way to be trendy and noticeable than with perfectly applied, strong makeup to complement your fashionable clothing?
Dramatic makeup for evening events generally entails wearing more cosmetics than during the day. Whether you go deeper on lipstick colors, heavier on foundation and rouge, wear false eyelashes, or add glitter and rhinestones to your eyeshadow, dramatic makeovers give you fabulous facial results that radiate beauty.
One makeup ritual that is always a win for fancy evening events is the smokey eye. Smokey eyes speak high-end glamour, and the finished look is smokin’ hot! Applying the perfect smokey eye can be accomplished in these easy steps.
How to Apply the Perfect Smokey Eye:
1. Prep the Eyelid: Swipe an eyeshadow primer (base) across the upper and lower eye area and let it dry.
2. Select the Colors of Eye Shadow: Smokey eyes work best when you use a dark and a lighter color (brown and gold, dark blue and light blue, etc.). Beauty knows no bounds. You can use whatever shades you desire!
3. Apply Eyeliner: Apply eyeliner above the entire upper lash line, drawing the line thicker in the middle of the eye.
4. Blend in Color on Bottom Lashes: The bottom color is one of the main elements of the smokey eye look. Run an eyeliner pencil under the entire bottom lashes and smudge the line with your finger or Q-tip. You can also apply some eyeshadow and smudge the eyeliner and eyeshadow together.
5. Apply Base Color: The key to a fabulous smokey eye is pairing a lighter base with a darker shade. Sweep in a light, glistening shadow over the eyelids to the browbase.
6. Blend in the Darker Color: Blend in the darker color of eyeshadow starting at your lash line, blending up. Blend the color into the lash line so that the eyeliner disappears.
7. Check Your Work: Make certain that both eyes match and rub out any smears or smudges with a Q-tip.
8. Apply Lots of Mascara: Thick, dramatic mascara is a must to finish off the alluring smokey eye effect. Apply enough coats that the lashes look long, thick and dark. Black mascara works best for the ultimate look. False eyelashes can be applied if preferred.
Congratulations! You have mastered the smokey eye! Smokin’ gorgeous!
Many people use eyeshadow to simply improve their appearance, but it is also commonly used in theater and other performing arts to create a memorable look, with bright, bold colors. Depending on skin tone and the shades of eyeshadows selected, the effect of eyeshadow usually brings out the glamour and gains attention. The use of eyeshadow attempts to replicate the natural eyeshadow that some women exhibit due to a natural contrasting pigmentation on their eyelids. Natural eyeshadow can range anywhere from a glossy shine to one’s eyelids, to a pinkish tone, or even a silver look.
Now that you’ve applied mesmerizing dramatic makeup and attended a delightful evening event, how do you remove all the cosmetics from your face before going to sleep? It’s easier than you think! Wash your face with warm water and a gentle moisturizing cream to remove your base foundation and rouge. For eyeshadow and mascara removal, a commercial eye makeup remover can be used, as well as baby oil or petroleum jelly. You may also purchase makeup remover wipes at salons and beauty supply stores.
When it comes to dramatic evening makeup looks, less is never more. You don’t want your makeup so heavy that you resemble a clown, but applied elegantly and strong enough to be ready to paint the town!
