How to Add Color to Dramatic Makeup

Now we are going to enhance Carry's cheek with a more sensational look for evening. I'm going mix a beautiful pink and apricot customizing it for Carry's under tone. I'm just going to add to the apple of the cheek and as you can see that it has heighten her look dramatically. Applying the same amount to this area and never fear if you added a little to much or if you feel that it is a little to much just go ahead and take your powder brush no powder necessary and just sweep through it to give it a nice blended look. Now we have completed Carry's sensational evening look and we have achieve that look by adding just a little depth to the corner of her eyes, we pop the eyeball right above the pupil with a beautiful soft pink, we added a beautiful soft blue liner to the interior of her eye on the lower eyelid to pop out the pupil as well as enlarge her eyes. We have also added a little more mascara for that evening look. We move down and added a more berry lip with a little more pop of lip gloss in the center along with that deeper lip liner well blended and we also with this look added to her blush by adding 2 beautiful pink apricot lushes together to enhance the natural under tones in her skin to give her this beautiful look of evening. Now she is ready just needs a little black dress.
