There’s an incredible thing about wearing a black dress that fits you perfectly and makes you feel amazing. To make that black dress more attractive, you need the right makeup look. With black color dress, any makeup look works.
Here are some perfect makeup ideas for a dark dress
Electric Blue Eyes & Clear Glossy Lips
Utilize that dark dress as the ideal canvas for an eye-catching hit of shade. Electric blue looks great on all skin tones and is vintage as well as modern. This is ideal for big events or red carpet where different personalities are embraced. A clear glossy lip goes perfectly with this look since it adds texture while leaving the shade exclusively to the eyes.
Tips:
- Start with the eyes first, as there is probably going to be fall-out. Set out an eyeshadow base or primer to hide any top veins or uneven tone
- Utilize a firm, stubby brush to pat the shade onto the lid to get the shape you want. A fluffy brush will just flick the shade all over the place and cause an uneven mess!
- If you like a diffused look, utilize a beige shadow to buff along the edge of the blue to haze it out. Or on the other hand, utilize a concealer brush and concealer to make a sharp edge and graphic aesthetic.
- Add false lashes and a thin layer of black fluid liner
- To carry light to the eyes, pop champagne or silver glitter in the inward corners
- Warm the cheeks with subtle contour and peach blush
- Shape the lips with a nude liner and coat with clear lip gloss
Winged Eyeliner & Matte Red Lips
Winged liner and matte red lips are both bold decisions, yet they work perfectly together without being “to an extreme”. In addition, you can change the intensity according to your comfort zone. For instance, make a subtle wing and blot the lips to lessen them to a stain if you feel more yourself in a pared-down look.
This look is ideal for a night out, a huge occasion… or a normal Tuesday when you want to feel fabulous.
Tips:
- A clean base is significant for this look, as an extra “busy” features will overcrowd the look. You needn’t bother about full-coverage foundation, however, you do require a decent concealer
- Spot hides any redness, discoloration, or dark circles to make an even-toned base
- Set with powder to make sure your work is done safely and will stay longer. In addition, a matte or satin finish is best as any glitter or shimmer can add unnecessary focal points to a packed look
- Add a colored eyeshadow base or cream shadow to the whole lid and set with powder or skin-matching eyeshadow. Utilize a matte bronzer to create depth in the crease, however, leave the shadow at that!
- Utilize either a fluid liner or a gel liner and brush to make your wing. I like to begin from the inward corner of the eye and utilize little strokes pressing into the lash line.
- Make your line somewhat thicker as you move toward the external corner
- Gently draw the shape of your wing, and rapidly wipe away if it’s anything but very right (you can clean any mess with concealer later)
- When your wing shape is correct, fill it in
- Add mascara and lashes and your peepers are done
- In case you’re a star, slick your lippie on directly from the wand, and presto. Or then again, utilize a liner first to perfect the shape then, at that point, fill in with your lippie.
- Take a concealer, angled brush, fluid eyeliner, powder, and your lippie with you if it’s a major occasion (or a long one) as this look sometimes requires a little touch up in the powder room
Charcoal Smokey Eyes & Nude Lips
If you need to match your black dress with something as touchy, a smoky eye and nude lips consistently win. Additionally, this is a look that can be prepared immediately when time is precious. It’s perfect for a date or hot party.
Tips:
- Set out an eyeshadow primer or colored cream base
- Buff a charcoal or deep gray over the whole lid and into the lower lash line
- Take deep charcoal or even a dark shadow on a crease brush and buff into the external corner, lower lash line, and through the crease
- The key here is to mix, mix, mix with a fluffy brush
- Clear any fall-out and make the shape you like by utilizing a cotton round with a little cosmetics remover, then, reapply the under-eye concealer
