When giving you advice we will split everything into sections so that you can take each bit at a time and then perfect it.



1. Flawless Skin

A vital part of evening makeup is to have completely flawless skin and so you need to begin with a foundation that matches your natural skin tone.

Use a sponge to apply the foundation evenly over your skin and then use your fingers to carefully blend the foundation in around the jaw line and hair line. You should then use a concealer to cover up any dark circles or blemishes you have in your skin. It is best to apply the concealer and then gently tap it with your finger until it blends in. If you rub it there is a good chance you will rub it away.

Finally finish your face with some loose translucent powder. Dip a large brush into the powder and shake off any excess. Gently apply your powder over your face in order to fix your foundation.

2. Cheeks

You can use a cream blusher in the evenings as it will be slightly stronger than the blusher you use in the evenings. Apply a small amount on the apple of your cheeks and then use a sponge to blend it back and up. Afterward just use your fingers a little to blend in the edges.

3. Eyes

When doing your eyes you should start with the eyeliner. Use black or charcoal eyeliner according to your colouring. You should go bold with this as it is a great thing to play up your eyes in the evening. This should be applied along the upper lid and on the lower lid from the outer corner to the middle of the eye. Use a cotton bud to blend the eyeliner. This will help to reduce the harshness of the liner and make it look a little bit smoky.

Now you should move on to the eye shadow. You should start with a light neutral coloured eye shadow and apply it over the whole eyelid, right up to the eyebrow. Now use a light sliver or gray eye shadow and apply this on the crease of the eye and the inner corner of the eyelid. Finally use a dark gray or black eye shadow on the outer part of the eyelid. Again you should use your fingers to blend the darker eye shadow in.

Finally move on to the mascara. You should always use a black mascara for the evening. If you are comfortqabel wearing them you should consider false eyelashes as well. Apply several light coats to both the upper and lower lashes and build the mascara up gradually.

4. Lips

The final thing to do is to apply a lipstick. As you have gone bold with your eyes you should keep your lips more subtle so that you don't overdo things. A neutral lip gloss will work perfectly with this look and keep you looking really sexy.
