We all know that everyone wants to look like the models on the runways, looking like a million bucks all with their makeup done perfectly and looking like a movie star, but how exactly can you look like them?
Make-up :
-bold makeup is used on the runway but you have to remember that they use so much more makeup then necessary because they want their features to be seen from a distance. Use smaller portions!
-Eyes: keep your eyes looking fierce and fresh by dusting a highlighting shadow over the lid of your eye and just above it. You can brush the shadow down to the outer corners of your eyes to make your eyes look bigger and brighter. Then find a eye shadow that is close to your skin tone and dust it from where your highlighting shadow finished, up to your eyebrows. Line the top of your eyes and the bottom with eyeliner. Finish the eyes by using one or two coats of mascara (depending on the length and color of your eyelashes).
- Lips: depending on the look you're going for; if you want something really bold and you want the focus of the face to be the lips, or if you want a more subtle look with the attention drawn up to your eyes, the lip color is different. For a bolder look wear a red lip stick. For a subtle look, wear a pale pink or peach color. Remember to look at your skin tone and choose a color from there.
- The final step is the general face. Add a small bit of blush on the cheeks if your cheeks are lacking that flushed look and add a light layer of foundation (and bronzer if you'd like). But before putting on the foundation make sure you prompt your skin by applying moisturizer first so the foundation doesn't look flakey and your skin doesn't look dry.
Follow these steps and you'll look fantastic. I used basic colors for this example, but if you want to try different colors for your eyes then don't be afraid to experiment!
Brown eyes- try shades of blue and purple!
