  • Apply a bit of foundation with powder over the eye region. Select a light base color.

  • It’s time for you to choose a brown matte eyeshadow based on the skin type of the applicant. Usually pale vanilla is preferable for lighter skin and latte ones for dark skin tones.

  • A perfect wing should always be from the tip of the inner lash line and make it slightly thicker upwards on your lids.

Lastly, make it elegant by curling the eyelashes and using mascara.

As soon as you fix the upper part of your face, let’s move on to achieve rosy lips. Commonly, you would borrow one from your mom or grandma - red as a classic lip color has stood the test of time.

Become a smokey eyeshadow makeup look expert.

  • You should begin by priming your eye area (all over the lid) by using an eyeshadow primer or a concealer. This would help in preventing smudging during the latter half of the day.

  • Then select your three different eyeshadow shades such as the lid, crease, and highlight shade. The highlight (lightest) and crease colors (darkest) are the two extremes. And the mobile lid shade would bridge the two by working as a mid-tone.

  • Then by using an all-over eyeshadow shade use a flat brush and start blending. (Tip- don’t use dark shades if you have smaller eyes.)

  • Use an eyeliner to line your eyes. And when you have finished the rest of your makeup, apply the mascara and slay the look.

Now turn to all smokey looks along with exploring innovative eyeshadow colors.

In the new age, pink is not only pretty and funky but also is truly bold. How to make your pink lips look unique? First contour the face which transforms your appearance along with intensive facial structure.

Choose appropriate liquids, gels, powder, and cream products. An illusion must be created near the cheekbone, nose, chin, and forehead. It would make your face appear slim, and a well-textured pink lip color will give you an expressive look.

Here’s how you can have a contoured face-

  • Apply foundation smoothly on your face at first.

  • To have a chiselled cheekbone look, the angled brush will work best. And in the hollows buff the nearest powder while swiftly shifting it in a back and forth motion. To avoid creating mess, tap twice and get rid of the extra powder before blending the face.

  • You can define the jawline and then you can slim down the neck by brushing the powder alongside your chin and jaw.
  • Remember in case you are using the palette also for highlighter or lighter powder then use a separate brush. That brush will dust the tops of your cheekbones.

So, for both classic wedding makeup or bold contoured look, first know the target areas to chisel and then highlight them.
