Make
it Bold for Ball
Racquel Muir,Youthlink Writer
It's
that time of year again! Time to dress to
impress, glam in gold and stun the rest
as we go bold. Bat long lashes, flaunt smokey
eyes and shimmer in shine using studs or
glitter with these tried-and-true tips for
your special night.
Foundation
Groom
and fill in your brows before applying your
foundation. Make sure the shades you have
blend with your complexion. Apply all over
the face and neck evenly. Then add a little
loose powder for a cooler effect. Blush
your cheeks with either a pink tone or a
bronzer to keep you glowing.
Eyes
- Pay
keen attention to your eye make-up. You
don't have to wear a shade that matches
your dress. Instead, select a shade that
complements it well. Use two different
shades of the same colour or gold shimmer
as the highlight.
- Add
the darker shade on your eyelids and the
lighter shade as the highlight (under
the brows). Blend the shades evenly so
the eye shadow lines are not visible.
- Line
the eyes with a dark-brown or black eyeliner,
or you can use a liquid liner for more
emphasis.
- To
complete the look, put on some mascara
for long lashes and more volume. Why not
step out of the box and add false lashes
for that fuller effect.
- For
glitter or gem, add sparkles to your tear
ducts or, when applying the highlight,
wet the brush then 'sweeten' the shadow
under your brow. This technique intensifies
your look.
Lips
- Luxurious
lipsticks with a hint of gloss add that
'lusciousness' to your make-up. Try even
a rose red colour for your lips, depending
on your skin tone, to give that Marilyn
Monroe flare.
- Bear
in mind that if you're going dramatic
on the lips, don't do the same with the
eyes. Your make-up will look overwhelming,
so choose either the lips or the eyes
as the focal point.
