Formal Makeup

Doing your own formal makeup is tricky if you are not familiar with the right way to apply it properly. Formal makeup gives you two choices; either you can do it yourself or make appointment with some professional makeup artist. When getting ready for some formal party or event, formal makeup plays a major role in appearance. After selecting your dress, the turn comes for makeup. Nowadays, due to media access and lots of videos online, you can easily get help online and get it done with the help of products and tools available to you without spending extra money. For example, if you don’t have contour palette, then you can also use your eye shadow palette colors for contouring. In the same way, there are many tricks and ways that help you do your makeup yourself from the convenience of home.

There are so many aspects to take into attention; such as, the dress color, weather, theme of the party, skin type, products to use, etc. On the other hand, you can practice to apply makeup if you do it yourself as the ability to play with different colors, tools and products can also boost the hidden abilities in you. As it is a known fact that practice makes one perfect, so I believe that one should try doing it. However, if you are really not into this thing, then it is better to take professional appointment than to ruin the entire look.

The most important step to remember is not to pressurize yourself for the looks. If you get yourself stressed out or panic, then makeup will also end up getting messed up. If you are going on some formal event and doing formal makeup, then it means that you need to take photographs, too. So, use a photography friendly foundation and add more contouring on face to make face look slimmer and defined. Additionally, formal makeup always needs a quality setting powder and setting spray to make the makeup last for 24 hours. If you go for low quality powders or spray, then don’t expect lasting results. In many cases, professionals don’t use setting sprays, so always ask them to use it at the end.

There are many people who have wrong idea of formal makeup and they think it is about heavy makeup application that is a total false concept. Formal makeup means to look elegant, sophisticated, neat and good looking in accordance with the dress and the theme of the event. For example, if you are doing heavy makeup on eyes, then it is better to do it light on lips or cheeks. If the lip color is dark, then it is preferable to use light color eye shadows on eyes and don’t mess it up. It is better not to go crazy while applying makeup and do it smoothly and calmly. Using precise brushes and taking low quantity and blending slowly always comes up with best results.

Furthermore, in many cases, if the makeup is not set properly, then it won’t for long, so always take one blush, lip color, highlighter and face powder to keep setting it. You can use these accessories for touching up to be able to keep the fresh and radiant look.
