A formal party is a sparkling affair where you will get the chance to really shine. Choose the right dress, the most stylish shoes and don't forget about your makeup. Your makeup should look as beautiful as you do. Makeup for a formal party is usually darker and more elaborate because most formal parties are held at night. If the formal party you will be attending is at noon, you will need to adjust your formal makeup.
Instructions
1. Apply liquid or creme-to-powder foundation, using a sponge, to your face. Put on your makeup in natural light so you can see the actual color you are getting. If you need to, mix two colors of makeup to get the right color. Cover your entire face and neck with the foundation. Check your jawline for makeup lines. Blend the area in so that nothing shows. You should also apply foundation to your eye lids.
2. Open the face powder and sweep the bristles across the surface of the powder. Tap the brush stem on your wrist to knock off some of the excess powder. Then swirl the powder all over your face to set your foundation. Move from top to bottom in a circular motion. Include your neck area. Avoid getting powder in your eyes.
3. Choose a matte lip liner color that matches or nearly matches the lipstick you have chosen. Avoid deep rich reds or burgundy colors that are often selected for nighttime use. Instead select softer colors like pinks or taupe without the shine. These colors are best for daytime looks. Line the lips with the liner. If you want a fuller lip look, then line the lips slightly outside the natural line. To make lips look smaller, line just inside the natural line. Start at the top of the lip on the left and draw to the center. Then draw from the right to the center. Make a tiny "V" in the center of the lip. Then draw from the right to the center on the bottom lip. Finally, draw from the left to the center of the bottom lip.
4. Use a lip brush to apply the matte lip color to your lips. Fill in the areas that you have outlined with your lip liner. Avoid pressing your lips together and moving around your lipstick. It stays in place better with blotting.
5. Use a soft eyeshadow brush to add color to your eyelid. Let the foundation stand alone as an all-over eye color, and use a soft color that compliments your outfit for the lid. Daytime eye colors don't need to be too dramatic or bold. Save those for nighttime parties. Sweep the color on the bottom lid carefully. Apply eyeliner just above the rim of the eyelashes on the top. Do not put any eyeliner on the bottom lid. Do this for both eyes. Apply mascara to your lashes, both top and bottom.
6. Sweep a matte blush color onto your cheeks. Keep the blush color light and pretty. Avoid darker applications that should be saved for nighttime formals. Use your blush brush to stroke gently across the surface of the powder. Then sweep on the color starting at the back of the cheekbone near the ear. Sweep forward to the apple. Do this for both sides of your face.
