Makeup for an evening out has its own characteristics and rules. Unlike the day one, there are not so many rules in it, perhaps there is an unspoken one – more pathos, bloat – then you get a magnificent image of a mysterious girl with a languid look and a sensual mouth. The main thing is not to overdo it. Daytime natural makeup uses a minimum of shadows, and a normal amount of gloss, light peach and golden hues.

Mandatory components for applying daytime makeup:

moisturizing cream;
shadows of the color of baked milk and chocolate;
natural tone or powder;
ink;
lip gloss;
brush and blush for a fresh look.

A moisturizing cream is applied to the skin of the face, the eyes are highlighted with natural shadows and one layer of mascara, and the shade of the skin, if necessary, is evened out with a tone or powder. Lips are given volume with an invisible, non-sticky gloss. And what do you need for evening makeup? The list is significant, since a thick layer of cosmetics will be applied, which will not allow the skin to breathe.

For evening makeup, ideally, you need a whole arsenal:

Lip scrub.
Patches for eyes and lips.
Moisturizing cream.
Grout see
Concealer.
Highlighter.
Palette with at least 2 shades of sculpting product.
The foundation is natural and 2 shades darker.
Powder.
Blush.
Eyebrow corrector.
Eyebrow pencil.
Mascara-gel for eyebrows.
Shadows at least 3 shades.
Eyeliner and black eyeliner.
Mascara black voluminous.
Artificial eyelashes.
Glue for eyelashes.
Lip pencil.
Lipstick 2-3 colors.
Lip gloss.
Spray fixer.

Evening makeup involves an abundance of dark colors, rich shades for the eyes and lips, an undesirable, but possible highlight of everything: the shape of the face, lips, eyes. Particular emphasis falls on the adjacent parts of the body – you need to tint the neck, ears, sculpt the chest. Natural makeup consists of light corrective touches, the absence of bright tones and sculpting. The daytime version should express freshness and youth, but not luxury and splendor. This is the difference and features of evening makeup, from natural everyday.

Types of make up

Makeup for evening outings may vary in mood and performance. There are the following variants:

Classic. This option is universal and suitable for cultural outings to the theater or to the premiere of a film, as well as for romantic evenings.
Club. This view is the most daring, contrasting and bright. The use of cosmetics and colors in it should be designed for poor lighting conditions. Can be suitable for use at parties, clubs, themed meetings.
Working. Sometimes, together with colleagues, we not only work, but also have fun. Workplace parties call for a special kind of evening make-up that is bolder and more expressive than everyday makeup, but that doesn’t overstep the bounds of corporate ethics.
Special. This type is used to create really special images – for example, for a wedding or a similar important celebration.

You can select a gentle and light make up for those girls who do not have a love for brightness. It looks like a classic, but at the same time this option is even more “airy". It is not at all necessary to use dark colors in it, you do not need to draw arrows and make bright, clear contours. It is appropriate to use shimmering powder, shimmers, shimmering shadows and sparkles, lipsticks in rich shades in this image. You can even do this yourself.

With it, you can create an evening summer unobtrusive look, suitable for both blondes and brunettes.

Makeup for a special occasion should be correctly chosen for the natural color of the eyes. In this case, it will look appropriate, favorably emphasize the natural beauty of the girl. The following useful tips can be highlighted:

Owners of chic green eyes can choose colors for evening makeup from a fairly wide range. Even bright contrasts and shades are suitable for them – this way you can make your image unforgettable and sexy. The main thing is not to repeat the shade of the iris in the colors of the shadows. If it turns into a gray tone, it is better to avoid an abundance of gray shadows. For green eyes, a light make up is suitable, not burdened by overly large or double arrows. Because of this eyeliner, the eyes will become narrow and dull.

It is not recommended for green-eyed ladies to use shades of rose or peach shades. You can choose more saturated shades of red and purple. Blue and green should also be used with caution, they may not be very well combined with the iris.

Ideas for creating evening makeup for green eyes can be gleaned from photographs of stars with this color of the iris: Angelina Jolie, Fergie, Mila Kunis, Catherine Middleton.

Brown-eyed girls can afford to use almost the entire color range in the shadows. Perhaps, only pink and red overflows should be avoided. They can make the eyes tired and haggard, the look will no longer be fresh. Usually, a darker gamma is used to make up this color of the iris, the only exceptions are those cases when you need to visually expand the section of the eyes.

Makeup in brown tones is perfect for brown eyes. In general, any technique and almost the entire range of colors are suitable for such girls. The main thing is to skillfully combine all the shades used with hair, clothes and skin.

When choosing, you can focus on the image created by celebrities, adapting it for yourself and a specific exit. Such famous ladies as Audrey Hepburn, Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman, Megan Fox, Monica Bellucci have a brown iris.

Gray eyes can look just perfect with the right shadows. Depending on the ebb of the iris, it is necessary to choose the color of the make up. If the gray shade turns into blue, then the shade of the shadows should be similar, but not the same as the iris, but somewhat brighter and more saturated. Purple, pink and gold also work well with gray eyes.

The greenish shade of the gray iris will be supported by copper or golden shadows, they will give it warmth and depth.

Pearlescent shadows will also be a good solution for gray-eyed girls. They favorably set off and focus on the eyes.

An example of makeup for gray-eyed ladies can be seen in the exits of the stars: Adriana Lima, Natalia Vodianova, Amanda Seyfried.

When choosing shades, the color of the curls is also important:

It is better for blondes not to use excessively bright and dark shades. Shadows can be light with mother-of-pearl, and you can shade your eyes, for example, brown with golden sparkles. Eyeliner can also be chosen in brown tones so that it does not contrast too much with the color of the skin and hair. But lipstick, you can choose different tones of pastel, pink or bright scarlet. Bright lip color will make the image memorable and immediate.
It is easy for brunettes to choose a palette for themselves, because any tone will emphasize their naturally bright appearance. Shimmer shadows will suit their eyes well, while you can use only one shade or make an overflow from ordinary shadows. You can experiment with the arrows. The color can be both familiar black and unusual – purple or green. For dark-haired girls, cold shades of red lipstick are suitable.
For brown-haired women, the transition of shadows from light pink tones with mother-of-pearl to purple and graphite black in the corners is perfect. Silver will also look good in the eye makeup of brown-haired women. Lipstick or gloss can be interesting tones, reminiscent of burgundy or carrots.

Secrets of makeup artists

To create an evening look at home, you need to be patient. The image should definitely be tried – to clarify and correct the nuances. Each lady is able to make a beautiful make-up with her own hands, if she takes into account some recommendations of professionals and a description of their work:

To repeat professional makeup, it is important to choose the right foundation. It should be carefully matched to the natural skin tone. The tool must be of high quality, not clogged in pores, not roll and withstand the effects of external factors. Light purple pigments in tone fight a tired look and yellowness, and green ones fight red rashes. Concealers are used to correct skin imperfections (pimples, blackheads, inflammation, dark circles under the eyes), which must be applied before foundation. The tone is applied with soft driving movements. Experts advise using a wet sponge – for the most even application and the absence of a mask effect.
When choosing a shade of foundation, be guided by the venue of the event. If the room will be dark (for example, a candlelit dinner or a club party), you should choose a product that is a tone lighter than usual. In bright light, flashes or spotlights, you can use a darker tone.
Contouring embodies the main fashion trends. It allows you to give the face an ideal shape, hide imperfections. An oval face shape is considered ideal. It is necessary with the help of darker tones to make the parts that protrude beyond the boundaries of the ideal less noticeable.
Applying powder on top of the tone will fix makeup, give the skin a velvety finish and remove oily sheen. Particular attention should be paid to the T-zone, which usually suffers from excessive sebum secretion. Powder should be applied with a wide soft brush, using a small amount of the product. The loose version will allow you to apply a thinner layer. Professionals advise using powder a little lighter, with golden reflections.

Be sure to give the perfect shape to the eyebrows and fix them. Eyeshadow should be applied over foundation or foundation and powder. In the evening look, it is permissible to use all types of shadows: shimmering, mother-of-pearl, bright shades.
It is supposed to use eyeliner to create a special image. However, it can be liquid or solid. You can experiment with different colors. For a bright make-up, you can use neon colors.
Mascara is applied at the very end, this process must be carried out especially carefully. For added volume, lightly powder your lashes before applying mascara. It is recommended to apply the composition with slow and careful movements. To achieve the desired effect, you can use a special mascara to create the effect of false eyelashes. You can also apply several layers of the product – for special expressiveness and bright color.
False options can be used in the corners of the eyes or along the entire lash line.
Lipstick is chosen depending on the overall image. Emphasis should be placed on the eyes or lips. With a bright make-up of the eyes, you can use nude lipsticks or sparkles. With an emphasis on the lips, bright and catchy lipstick is used. For a more saturated color, it can be applied in two layers.
Blush makes the face fresher, and make-up is complete. Use them in accordance with the overall tone of the make-up, as well as the tone of the skin and hair.

Preparation for applying make-up

First of all, it is necessary to determine the type of face, skin tone, eye shape, etc. All these parameters affect the choice of cosmetics and the rules for its application. If a girl has oily skin, then she absolutely cannot use products for oily skin and vice versa. It is also recommended to select tonal creams and powders in accordance with the tone of the skin of the face. During makeup, you will need to use various cosmetics, including:

Primer.
Shadows.
Correctors.
Shadows.
Ink.
Lip gloss and more.

All means should be combined with the characteristics of a person, as well as in harmony with his clothes. The universal make-up consists mainly of pastel and nude tones, so it is better to always have products in these shades in your cosmetic bag.

Applying tone, sculpting step by step with a photo for beginners

Since daytime makeup is easy, in some cases, makeup artists recommend refraining from using a large amount of cosmetics. The most convenient combination of cosmetics is:

Ink.
Shadows.
Lip gloss or lipstick.

If necessary, you can further emphasize the eyebrows with a pencil or draw eyelids with eyeliner and shadows. With a fuzzy lip contour, it is better to bring it with a special pencil.

Dark skin obliges

Blondes with dark skin or a tan can emphasize their uniqueness with blue, lilac, pale pink shadows. Perfectly complement the image of universal lipstick color beige.

Brave ladies can experiment with brown-red lipstick, this option promises to be just as worthy as its beige “relative”.

Choosing Eyeshadows for Eye Color

Unfortunately, not always, those shades of shadows that we like the most are suitable for eye makeup. The main rule when choosing shadows for eye makeup is not to choose shadows of the same color as the iris.

However, there is one trick in eye makeup – if you apply shadows of the same color as your eyes on the upper movable eyelid, then the look will really become dull, but if you apply these shadows on the lower eyelid, on the contrary, you will emphasize the color of your eyes and make them brighter.

Everyone should be aware of the spectral or color wheel, which is used not only to combine colors in clothes, but also in a combination of shades of shadows in eye makeup. Therefore, feel free to use this method in the selection of shadows for beautiful eye makeup.

What shades will be the most successful for eye makeup of different irises, we will consider below. You will also see simple photo tutorials for evening eye makeup step by step, which can be done at home.

Perfect shadows for brown eyes

For brown eyes, the ideal color palette for creating evening eye makeup will be shades of purple, lilac and golden hues. If you like bright shades, you can use green, blue, bright blue, purple shades for brown eyes. For daytime eye makeup, pale shades of pink are suitable.

Any dark and saturated shadows are suitable for brown-eyed girls. They can have a matte or shiny structure, which will allow you to create a bright and catchy make-up option. Use brown, beige, peach, berry and other less flashy lipstick.

Eyeshadow colors for blue eyes

Blue-eyed girls should be proud of their eyes, because they are considered the most tender and sweet eyes. To create beautiful eye makeup, it is better to use shades of rich shades of brown, gray and pink. Blue eye makeup with lavender and lilac shadows looks very impressive.

Gold, peach, blue, blue and purple shadows are perfect for blue eyes. An ideal option for evening makeup would be purple or blue smoky eyes.

How to enhance the beauty of green and gray eyes

The color palette for makeup of green and gray eyes is practically the same and therefore the most diverse. For beautiful eye makeup, you should avoid cold shades, the same gray and blue. Green eye makeup can be done with such shades of shadows as brown, golden, peach, orange, copper, emerald, purple.

Gray and green eyes – makeup photo

Silver, white, black, steel and metallic shadows are perfect for gray eyes. If you want to impress everyone with the brightness of the evening make-up, then you can use orange and peach shadows.

We take into account the shape of the eyes

For large eyes, makeup artists recommend drawing a wider arrow on the upper eyelid. But the lower eyelid is better to emphasize a thin arrow. The use of shadows with sparkles is prohibited. Set aside colored mascaras, preferring classic black.
For small eyes, and besides, close-set, saturated, too black makeup is not recommended. He will only make the situation worse. To visually enlarge the eyes, it is recommended to apply light pearlescent shadows as a base. Richly painted eyelashes will visually enlarge the eyes. Use another secret weapon – a white pencil. Draw them the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid.

For almond-shaped eyes, experts advise to darken the outer corner of the eye as much as possible. Especially if you have a naturally small slit in the eyes. You can create beautiful contrasting transitions with multi-colored shadows, as in oriental makeup.
For Asian eyes, a frequent problem is the insufficient length and density of eyelashes from nature. The situation will be corrected by false cilia (or hairs). Moreover, in the evening make-up they are quite acceptable.

For narrow eyes, such a makeup will be ideal, in which the contour is drawn with a pencil over the shadows, and not vice versa.
For wide-set eyes, draw a contour along the entire length. Apply deep dark shadows to the inner corner, and lighten the outer corner as much as possible.

Smokey ice technique step by step

Smoky makeup involves soft color transitions, so you need two brushes to apply shadows: a flat one and a fluffy one. The first is a dense layer, the second is shading. From the shadows suitable for the color of the eyes, we select three shades of different intensities, from a dark tone to a light one.

Strong contrast in this technique is not provided. To apply makeup, first put a base on the eyelids under the shadows, and then proceed in this order:

In the darkest tone, draw a line along the growth of the eyelashes from above. The line along the upper eyelid is slightly expanded to the outer edge. We carefully shade everything with a brush, remove the excess with a cotton swab so that the contour looks neat.

We collect shadows of a light tone on a flat brush, apply them with light patting movements on the moving part of the eyelid and down along the lash line. We add a dark color here, but quite a bit, just to emphasize the corners.

Shade again, put a shade of medium intensity, without going beyond the dark contour, up to about half of the moving eyelid, and then about 2/3 of the eye above the crease.

We make the border between the shades blurry, again with the help of shading. Under the eyebrows, add some milky shadows. This technique will visually enlarge the eyes.

We apply mascara, pulling the cilia up and obliquely. We complement the makeup with gloss or lipstick of the chosen shade.

Fixing a hanging eyelid

This problem usually appears with age, when the skin begins to lose its elasticity. Although it also happens that a young girl has the same problem. This is possible with frequent lack of sleep, rare walks in the fresh air, overwork and too busy work schedule.

From the impending century, the whole face looks tired and the girl seems much older than she really is. But in this case, you can help, and for this, makeup artists have their own secrets:

For makeup, in this case, you need to use shadows of exclusively matte shades, so you can avoid the fact that others will pay attention to the impending eyelid.
You don’t need to refuse a slight flicker under the eyebrow – it will be quite appropriate. It is also important to apply light-colored shadows to the corner inside the eye.
For a "smoky eyes" make-up, the colors should not be too heavy and oversaturated.
When coloring the crease of the eyelid, continue the line beyond the contour so that it visually appears raised.
With arrows for evening makeup, a brown-eyed girl with an impending eyelid should be careful. It is better to use not an eyeliner, but a pencil and the end of the arrow must be lifted up.
If it looks harmonious, a woman with an impending eyelid can use gray or brown instead of a black pencil – in some cases, this technique is refreshing and youthful.
If you need to divert attention from the impending eyelid, focus on the ciliaby carefully painting them over the entire length, paying special attention to the outer corner.

In conclusion, a few more tips for brown-eyed girls from makeup artists:

If you’re going to an evening event soon, practice your makeup well in advance so you’ll literally get your hands on it and easily manage to create the perfect look on the right day.
Evening makeup always looks better if you complement it with sparkles.
If your eyes are located close to the bridge of the nose, then in makeup try to focus on the corners of the eyes, in this case you should not completely paint over the eyelid. Bright and dark shadows are applied to the outer edge of the eyelid, and light colors are applied closer to the bridge of the nose.
With the opposite problem with eyes too wide apart, the eyelid is completely painted over, and the transitions in shades are the opposite of the first case.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. If you like your image, this does not mean that you need to stop there, because it is quite possible that by experimenting you can achieve an even better result.
When creating an image, do not forget about matching the shade with skin tone, with clothes, with lipstick. The main thing for eye makeup is to emphasize their shape, the length of the cilia and the beautiful line of the eyebrows.
Don’t aim for standards. If you took a brown-eyed beauty from a glossy magazine as a sample, you should not achieve 100% similarity, just use some tricks from the picture, but create your own image.
Pay attention to lighting, as the same image looks different in different lighting.
Use only high-quality cosmetic products, otherwise, instead of beautiful makeup, you can get skin problems.

Makeup ideas for a black dress

1.Classic red lips. Do you know that a little black dress with matte retro red lips is a timeless combination? Line your eyes with a thin arrow, then apply a soft beige shade of shadow and apply matte red lipstick. Eyes can be decorated in smoky colors.

This combination will suit any black dress, both classic and small.

This make-up makes you look gorgeous and sexy on a date or at parties with friends.

Dramatic smokey eye makeup. Another advantageous combination is smoky eyes and a black dress.

It looks passionate, dramatic and creates a seductive sophisticated look.

Smoky eye makeup gives them depth and dimension, making them stand out. Don’t forget to add some mascara.

Just eyeliner. You will be amazed when you see what black or blue eyeliner can do for the eyes.

Black eyeliner is classic retro, while blue eyeliner is chic and stylish. Draw a line with your favorite eyeliner or liquid liner on your upper lash line.

Finish off your eye makeup with mascara. You can also use a double liner. Lips and blush should not stand out.

Mascara. Sometimes we just need a good mascara to impress with our image.

Apply luminous shimmery shadow all over the eyelids. Curl your lashes and put some baby powder on them. Now you can take your mascara and color the upper lashes from the base to the end. This will make the lashes look longer and fuller. Apply a second coat.

Now you can finish the makeup by making beautiful lips. Choose lipstick in shades of red and hot pink, preferably in a matte finish. Apply pink or coral cheek blush and complete the look with red or pink nail polish.

Purple magic. Purple and black are perfect for each other. Add purple to your makeup on the lips or on the eyes, but in no case not together at once.

Purple smoky eyes or lips – the choice is yours.

How to get stunning eyelashes

The secret to thick lashes is to clean your lashes before applying mascara. Never try to apply mascara over dry mascara, you will only end up with clumps. You can use more voluminous lashes for evening eye makeup if you like fuller lashes. Consider curling your lashes with an eyelash curler. Heat the tongs 3-seconds with warm air from your hair dryer. This will help “set” the curl. Just make sure the metal isn’t too hot before you screw them on.
