How should I do my makeup if I'm wearing a formal dress?

Answer 1

Very subtly. You don't want to over do it or it'll look tacky rather than formal. And try to keep in tone with the color of the dress (blue eye makeup with a blue dress, or green eye shadow with a green dress, etc). If your dress is multi-tones, pick the most dominant color. If you are wearing black or white, go with a color that goes best with your eyes (browns with green eyes, greens with brown eyes, and purples with blue eyes). And you can darken your eyes a little with brown or black eye liner and mascara if you wish, just make sure it doesn't smear or get clumpy.

Oh yea, and only concentrate on ONE area (eyes, lips, or cheeks), not two or all three or else you look like a doll. Usually eyes are best for formals, but if you don't like your eyes as much and like your lips better, than stick to VERY neutral eye colors and focus on the lips. Or focus on the cheeks and use very subtle eye makeup and lip gloss. It's easy to overdo the makeup, and you want to look nice for a formal event, so in this case, less is more.

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 3

I would go with a smokey eye with black or dark brown makeup, a lengthening mascara, and some plum colored or navy eyeshadows, with a natural, pink tone on your lips. Natural colored bronzer with a peachy-pink blush would complement your skin tone, but make sure your foundation isn't too dark, not matching the rest of your skin showing. Hope this helps!
