Makeup under a black dress
It is believed that every girl should have at least one stylish black dress in her wardrobe. It can be both a classic evening dress in the style of Chanel, and a discreet office outfit. Black color, depending on what makeup you complement it with, will make you sexy, elegant or the most businesslike lady. In this article, you will learn about what should be makeup that goes perfectly with a black dress.
Who suits?
A black dress is a universal option that is suitable for both brunettes and brown-haired women. The main thing is to find the right colors to complete your make-up. The color palette for all beauties will be different, keep this in mind.
So, for blondes with a cold fair appearance and pale skin, appropriate cold tones are suitable. For example, wine-colored lipstick with a cold undertone or silver or gray shadows. Owners of brown hair and skin with a warm undertone should do makeup using beige and nude shades. Choose those tones that emphasize your strengths and allow you to hide your flaws.
Choosing a lipstick
Now let's move on to a more detailed description of the process of choosing each detail of your makeup. Lipstick is the best way to completely change your look in one move.Red lipstick is bought by girls most often, because it is she who is considered the most sexy and seductive.
In addition, red lipsticks have another indisputable advantage - contrary to fears, they are perfect for all girls.
Red lipstick can be the only accent in your monochrome black bow, or you can complement the outfit with some kind of scarlet accessory. It looks spectacular and immediately attracts attention.
If you have a cold type of appearance, choose rich lipsticks. For example, wine, burgundy or just dark red. This will make your look luxurious. However, it is quite obvious that this color option is more suitable for evening make-up than for everyday wear. For fair-haired or brown-haired women, berry-colored lipstick or any other lip product with a warm tone is more suitable.
It is also worth remembering that if you painted your lips with bright lipstick, you should not focus on your eyes either. In this case, the image may look vulgar. Makeup artists advise limiting yourself to the simplest possible make-up - emphasize the eyes with black mascara or draw neat arrows with a simple liner.
Setting the right accents
Now let's move on to creating makeup that will suit any life situation.
casual nude
If you bought a black dress not to impress others, but to wear it to work or business meetings, then you need to learn how to do neutral daytime makeup. With this make-up option, you will look feminine, restrained, but at the same time hide all traces of fatigue and problem areas on the skin. Such makeup only emphasizes the natural beauty of a woman without changing anything in her appearance.
The essence of a neutral make-up is that it should be as invisible as possible on your face. No wonder it is called "makeup without makeup." The decorative cosmetics that are used in this case are light foundation or even concealer, nude lipstick, mascara and a little highlighter.
As a foundation, choose the lightest possible product. It could be a BB cream, for example. The main task in this case is not to "plaster" the face, making the skin almost doll-like, but to hide minor imperfections. Indeed, against the background of a stylish black dress, all your flaws and uneven complexion will be noticeable. So if you do without a foundation at all, then your appearance may be tired.
Some makeup artists recommend choosing a foundation color that is a couple of shades lighter than your skin, or simply focusing on your ideal shade. In this case, all skin imperfections will not be noticeable, and the face will seem well-groomed.
After you have evened out the tone of the face, you can proceed to the correction of the eyebrows. They can be slightly emphasized with a few strokes of a pencil to match the hairs or filled with shadows. If you have blond hair, then emphasize your eyebrows with a light brown tint, but brown-haired women and brunettes go for rich dark colors.
Eyelashes need to be painted over in just one layer so that the color is not too saturated, and the hairs are glued together. If you want to highlight your eyes with shadows, then choose something beige or light brown. It is better to focus on inconspicuous shadows, leaving the shimmer for the evening.
Lips, as a rule, are recommended to highlight with a light coral gloss or neutral lipstick. With such make up your image will immediately become more well-groomed and elegant, but at the same time you will not stand out too much.Beautiful elegant shoes will complement this look with a short black dress. You should not limit yourself to the classics - instead of black pumps, you can take bright red shoes or neutral high sandals. A classic bow is not necessarily something boring. If you complement it with bright details, then it will look really bright and interesting.
Evening
If you want to create a sexier look that goes well with a long black dress, then you can draw dramatic black arrows on the eyes. Take an eyeliner, a pencil, or even just a shadow with a beveled brush. If you have never drawn arrows, then the easiest way to do this is with shadows or a pencil. You can leave the outline clear or blend it out. And in fact, and in another case, the makeup will turn out spectacular.
The floor-length dress and clear graphic creases are the perfect combination with a black dress that will definitely make you sexy. Depending on the shape of your eyes, you can draw long arrows or just lightly emphasize the corner with a light outline. The only thing you should not refuse is the classic black color, which will perfectly match your dress.
Let's look at how professionals advise using a liner to really hide flaws and focus on your features. If you have rather narrow eyes and want to slightly open them, use a straight arrow. If, on the other hand, you have large eyes that need to be narrowed slightly, use a liner to draw raised arrows. But girls with classic almond-shaped eyes of the correct form can safely experiment with the most different types of arrows.
A well-chosen lipstick will complement the classic evening makeup with arrows. For girls with light brown or blond hair, a neutral or berry shade is suitable, but for dark-haired fatal beauties, you can safely pick up a spectacular red or wine lipstick. This way you get a bright and spectacular bow. You can complement it with light shoes in contrast to the dress, or vice versa, dilute it with a rich bright accent.
Smoky eyes
For an image with a black dress, evening makeup can also be done using rich shadows.
Smoky eye makeup is perfect for special occasions like graduations or weddings.
This make up can be made using a variety of shades. For fair-haired young ladies, a neutral base is more suitable. But dark-haired beauties can safely give preference to black and gold rich makeup. You can also complement dark shadows with purple, emerald or other accents. Such makeup will look great, especially if you pick up shadows that especially emphasize the beauty of your eyes.
To make such a make-up is quite simple - take a dark soft pencil, rich shadows and a brush. Underline the outer corner with dark shadows and gently blend them so that the dark color turns into a lighter shade. After the makeup with shadows is completed, paint over the eyelashes with mascara in two layers. Under such makeup, even the simplest hairstyle is suitable - with smoky makeup, you will look elegant and elegant.
