prom make-up?

[loulee89]

Hey all, heres another make-up question for all you ladies :)

It is my prom coming up soon, and i have a red halterneck dress to wear. It is of a vibrant bold red (not dark/deep), and i now have the problem of knowing what make up to wear to compliment this.

I usually wear, blues, greens, turquoises on my eyes, the brighter the better. However this would not suit a red dress. I like my eyes to make a statement (keeping the rest of my face natural), with bold make up, therefore very neutural, nude colours are not ideal.

I just wondered if anybody has any ideas on any nice colours or techniques i could use on my eyes to make them dramatic looking, without being too over-the-top, to help compliment my dress :)

Many thanks xx

How about a purple eye shadow? Though personally I think I'd go for a really deep, shimmery brown with gold highlighter.

Ooo gold might be nice :o) or even silver *ponders this thought* :o)

Smoky eye make up will look fab with your dress, then just just use a nude gloss on your lips. If you Google 'smoke eyes', loads of sites should come up. Have a great prom! xxx

Obviously that should be Google 'smoky eyes'*... sorry! x

I'd probably just go for black / grey smokey eyes. If the dress is vibrant, you don't want to overdo it?

I think smoky eyes is the way forward :o) any other ideas though keep em coming :o) xx

How about a lip stick to match your dress? I think that can look really striking. Although if is a bright color you may want to tone your eye make up down so you dont look too over done. You could make your eyes stand out still with simple black eyeliner though. A lot depends on your colouring as well though. Have fun! xx
