How to Create a “Picture Perfect” Bridal, Prom, or Special Occasion Make-up Look: Part 2

In Part 1 of the series, I showed you how to create a natural daytime look using our Picture Perfect Make-Up Kit. Now I’m going to show you how to intensify this look for evening using the same kit:

· 4-Hole Eye Color Palette filled with Honeysuckle, Cashmere, Galaxy, and Espresso
· Glow Cheek Color
· #710S Powder Blush Brush
· Shine Lip Gloss
· #310S Portable Lip Brush

Get This Look:

Eyes: Using the #350 Shadow Blender Brush with the Espresso Eye Color, I started at the outer corner of the eye, sweeping it across the outer half of the lid and into the crease. I pressed it against the lash line to create a smoky look, still leaving a little bit of the Cashmere Eye Color showing and carefully blending the edges.

Next, I used the #210 Angle Liner Brush to add more definition on the water line. Using Espresso again, I gently pulled down the lid and simply placed the color right on the water line and intensified the corners next to the lashes with the same brush.

To add even more drama to this look, I applied false lashes. First, I removed them from the box by gently pulling them away from the form with my thumb so as not to kink the band. Once out, they were fit to the lash line and trimmed of the excess. I applied Duo Eyelash Adhesive in a thin bead on the strip and let it dry a little to get it tacky before applying to the lashes. I then matched it up right on the lashes and gently pressed it into the lash line using an orangewood stick.

Next, I applied Volumizing Mascara with the #500 Mascara Brush going all the way to the root of the lash, then applying underneath to help keep the curl of the lash. I also brushed the bottom lashes very softly.

Cheeks: Using Glow Cheek Color and the #710S Powder Blush Brush I intensified the cheeks adding color further back using small circular motions to contour the cheek for a nice evening look. I added a little more around the perimeter of the face and on the bridge of the nose.

Lips: To complete the evening look, I added a little more Shine Lip Gloss using the #310S Portable Lip Brush.
