Best Makeup Looks to Pair with a Black Dress
Trying to come up with the best makeup look to pair with your little black dress? Whether you’re getting ready for your next event, or it’s a night out with the BFFs, wearing a black outfit gives you the perfect opportunity to take it up a couple notches with the rest of your glam.
Here are 3 gorgeous makeup looks to make a bold statement in your favorite LBD!
Show everyone you’ve got some serious makeup skills by putting a festive spin on the classic cat-eye. To perfect this look, you’ll have to use a metallic or glittery liquid eyeliner to create a super thick line and wing over the upper lash line.
Start off by using a black eyeliner pencil to fill in the gaps between your lashes. Then use a glittery liquid eyeliner to create an outline on your upper lid. Once you’ve got a good outline going, use the same product to fill it in.
Dark lips can be particularly striking when you’re wearing your fav LBD! You can never go wrong with a classic red pout, but a rich burgundy or plum shade is just as beautiful.
When you’re going with a bold lip color, it’s a good idea to keep things simple with the rest of your makeup – or it just looks like there’s way too much going on. You can easily amp up the intensity by using a black eyeliner to line all around the eyes and then topping it off with a more dramatic pair of false lashes.
When you’re wearing all black, you can use makeup to add a pop of color into your entire glam situation. The idea here is to choose a specific feature on your face to be the focal point, such as the lips or eyes.
Instead of wearing a bold color on your lips, make your eyes stand out with a bright, vivid color. The sky’s the limit when it comes to creating a stunning playful look with colorful eyeshadow.
For a more daring look, use a single shade of bright eyeshadow over the entire lid. A vibrant shade of orange, pink, purple, or blue looks absolutely stunning when paired with a black outfit.
