Party and Night Makeup, Tips and Advices for Smokey Eye look.

If there"s one key to your image at a party, it"s your makeup. The best dress in the world won"t look good if you"re not made up appropriately for the occasion.

Take a look at the celebrities, from Jennifer Lopez to Nicole Kidman. When they go to a gala, they don"t only pay special attention to their dresses but also to their makeup and hair.
The day of the party

Try to rest the day before. There is nothing better than a good night"s sleep to repair the skin. If you haven"t been able to sleep well, try to take a nap (but no more than 20 minutes, which experts say is enough to recover and give your body energy). A good night"s sleep does wonders to eliminate under eye circles and to make the skin look healthy and rested, so that your makeup will look perfect.


STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR PERFECT PARTY MAKEUP

SKIN: THREE quick and basic steps before starting.
With the skin totally clean, follow these steps:

1. Apply serum
Serum is a concentrated product that helps revitalize your skin. There are also serums to treat wrinkles or to give luminosity or moisture. Get a serum that will make your skin look healthy immediately. Remember there are single-dose capsules available which is helpful since they can be expensive. Remember to always choose a product according to your skin type and needs. If you have great skin or are under 25 you can skip this step. Always apply serum before the cream moisturizer.
2. Eye cream:


Apply eye cream if you normally use it, before applying the cream moisturizer.

3. Cream moisturizer:

Apply your cream moisturizer over the whole face with a gentle massage with circular movements, moving upwards. This way you"ll get the most out of the cream because it activates the circulation and the cream is absorbed better.

TRICKS: Wait a few minutes so that the cream is totally absorbed before beginning to apply makeup, and it will last longer.


STEP BY STEP MAKEUP:

CORRECTOR, it will change your face.

This is a required step for night or party makeup. First correct under eye circles and blue areas (such as small veins or scars). Then correct red areas (such as blemishes, scars, or spots).

1. CORRECTION OF UNDER EYE CIRCLES

This step depends on the type of corrector you have. There are some that you apply before the foundation (these normally have a thicker, more covering texture), or after the foundation (these have a lighter texture). Be sure you know how the product is to be used, and the steps to follow are the same.


SUGGESTIONS FOR APPLYING CORRECTOR

- Apply corrector around your eyes, just where the under eye circles appear.

- It"s easier to apply corrector with a synthetic hair brush, and some come with brushes.

- Once the corrector is applied with a brush, blend it with the fingertips. Remember that you don"t need much product, otherwise you could create expression lines in this delicate area.

- Apply corrector on the entire eyelid. This is a dark area of the face and the corrector will unify the tone and also help the shadows last much longer.

Once the under eye circles are corrected, notice how with this one easy step you"ve improved your whole look. Continue correcting using the same technique: apply the corrector with a brush and blend gently with the fingertips to remove excess product.

TRICKS: If you don"t have under eye circles but do have bags under the eyes, avoid using corrector on the bags and instead use it only around them.

RED AREA CORRECTIONS

The technique is the same as in the previous step. Apply the corrector on the blemish or the area to correct, and then blend with the fingertips.

TRICKS: If you have acne, get a corrector that in addition to covering, treats and helps eliminate blemishes.

MAKEUP FOUNDATION that will last all night.

Unless your skin is dry, try to use a foundation with medium to high coverage, such as for example an oil-free matte liquid foundation, or a cream foundation. These have better coverage, last longer, and leave the skin totally velvety, which is perfect for party makeup.

SUGGESTIONS FOR APPLYING FOUNDATION THAT LASTS ALL NIGHT

- Apply your foundation with a sponge

- Apply the foundation moving downwards, combing the face.

- Use enough product to cover the whole face, but avoid excess by using a clean sponge.

- Don"t forget to apply foundation on the eyelid and on under eye circles.

- Take special care when applying foundation in areas where you"ve applied corrector. In these areas, apply foundation with a light touch so as not to smudge the corrector.


TRICK: Wait a few minutes before continuing to apply makeup so that the foundation settles on your face.

MATTE POWDERS to fix it in place.
An important step to make the makeup last all night is to apply matte powder on the foundation. In addition to eliminating shine, it will fix the foundation in place.


SUGGESTIONS FOR APPLYING MATTE POWDER


- You can use a loose or compact powder, as you prefer, but apply it with a powder puff to fix the foundation in place.

- Avoid excess product by using a clean brush on the face after applying powder with the powder puff.

- Use a color that"s the same as your foundation, or transparent.


MAKE UP YOUR EYES LIKE THE CELEBRITIES DO

We"ll share three different styles with you, which you can adapt to your dress, your technique, and your face.


GOLD, elegance and glamour

One of the most excellent colors for party makeup is gold. It"s also a very flattering color for all face types.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING YOURSELF UP IN GOLD TONES

- Apply a gold tone of medium intensity on your mobile eyelid and up to the bone of the eye.

- Blend with a brush so that no lines remain.

- Apply a much lighter gold tone than the one you used on the eyelid, just under the eyebrow, to give light and to lift the look.
- Apply a dark gold tone just between the lower lashes, which will make your eyes seem bigger.

- Apply a substantial amount of black mascara.


TRICK: use a gold matte tone if you have wrinkes on the eyelids or expression lines. You can add a touch of shine on the fixed eyelid.


This makeup is perfect for you if:


- Your technique isn"t perfect but you want to makeup your eyes

- You have small eyes

- You"re wearing a gold or black dress.

SMOKEY EYES a sexy look
This is one of the classics that never goes out of style and of which you can be confident.


SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING UP YOUR EYES WITH THE SMOKEY EYE LOOK.
Make up the interior eyelid with dark brown pencil, both upper and lower.
Follow the same step on the upper and lower outer lid. It"s best to draw a thin line and thicken it little by little.
Blend the pencil with a brush with brown shadow on it (or a chocolate tone that you like)
Blend all the way to the bone, leaving no lines at all.
Blend the lower lid with a fine brush, gently. Then apply a shiny cream on the fixed eyelid.
Make up your lashes with intensity. Use a curler first and then two layers of black mascara

TRICKS: If you"ve chosen this makeup, bring a black pencil with you so you can retouch the eyes when needed. If you"ve never tried this makeup before, do it the day before to try it out and see how you look.

This makeup is perfect for you if:
- You have good technique and blend eye shadows well
- You have big or light colored eyes
