Step 1: Back to the Base
To begin with, reach for a high coverage foundation. If you want a flawless canvas that can last through all your carefree dancing, then opt for a lightweight foundation that offers full coverage. Make sure it matches your skin tone for a seamless look. Buff it in with damp beauty sponge or foundation brush so that it is blended to perfection. While you’re at it, don’t forget to dab on some concealer for a fresh look.
Step 2: Eyes That Speak Volumes
Bring the drama with your eyes. Start with a neutral eyeshadow base and layer on smoky, sultry shades like charcoal or plum. This creates depth. Blend it out at the crease to keep things soft and glamourous. A touch of gold or a silver shimmer will do wonders for your eyelids. Use a felt tip liquid liner for precision. Finish with multiple coats of mascara or some flirty false eyelashes. After all, your eyes should talk louder than the music you are dancing to!
Step 3: Contour and Highlight
After tending to your face and eyes, you need to now address your cheekbones. Set your high coverage foundation with a translucent powder and get your hands on a contour kit. Sweep some of that contour beneath your cheekbones and along your jawline and at your temples for a sculpted look. Follow it up with a highlighter on the top of your cheekbones, brow bones and the inner corners of your eyes. You can also double your lipstick shades as blush makeup for the night.
Step 4: Brow Game Strong
Your eyebrows frame your face, so they better be fabulous. You can shape them with a brow pencil or powder. It is best to stick to a natural look that complements your eye makeup. Keep your brow game simple but effective. After all, you want your brow game to complement each other.
Step 5: Lips That Make a Statement
When it comes to your lips, go bold! A classic red will not let you down if you are feeling daring or trying a dark berry for a touch of mystery. For those of you, who would rather play is cool, a nude or soft pink can give you a fun finish. Ensure you pair your lipstick shades with a matching liner to define your lips and make them pop. Choose your lipstick shades like you choose your vibe for the night.
Step 6: Get. Set, Setting Spray
Lastly, seal the deal with a setting spray for make-up. Make sure it does not move despite the intensity of your dance moves. A couple of spritzes will lock in all your hard work and keep your selfie ready till dawn.
And there you have it! A glam make-up look that is bound to make you feel like the queen you know you are. It does not matter if you opt for one of those daring lipstick shades or a lush high coverage foundation to rule the night, if you wear it with confidence. Step into the night while knowing you are the star of your life’s film. Let everyone take a seat and watch you shine.
