“Captivating in Blue: 6 Makeup Hacks to Enhance Your Look with a Dash of Elegance”
If you’re planning to look like a real blue princess at your prom or wedding, you’re probably Googling how to do the perfect makeup with a blue dress.
Imagine a blue dress with flawless makeup. Once you start matching colors and imagining what your eyeshadow or lipstick will look like, you’re ready for makeup. You need advice on when to apply your makeup lightly and when to apply it more heavily, taking into account your complexion, the color of your eyes and the occasion. You can use various makeup techniques to make your blue outfit stand out from the crowd. Read on to find out more about her!
1. Play with colors
The first thing you need to know when trying out new makeup is the color chart and color matching. Complementary colors help make each other stand out. So if you wear blue, you can also wear its counterpart on the color wheel. The red and orange tones in the color wheel complement the blue tones. So you can combine colors from this series such as coral, orange, peach, brown with blue. Here you can play with colors and search for colors that best suit your face and complexion. Another trick is to highlight different elements of your dress with color. For example, if your dress is not entirely blue but has blue elements throughout, you can also incorporate blue into your makeup. The presence of other colors gives your look a trendy look even while emphasizing the blue theme.
2. Base
The base or makeup on your bare face depends on the type of look you are going for. Start with a good exfoliation and moisturizer to maintain a fresh, dewy look throughout the day. For a warm look, you can combine warm colors like deep red or orange with cooler shades of blue. Cool blues contain more green, while warm blues lean more towards purple. For a warm look, start with a standard concealer stick and cover all blemishes, pimples and dark circles. Now choose a foundation that is one shade darker than your original shade. This gives your skin a healthy, warm glow and won’t wash out in photos. If you’re naturally tanned, you can skip the foundation and apply a tinted body butter or moisturizer instead. Seal the base with a mineral powder.
3. Cheek
Your cheeks shouldn’t be the focus of your look, but they’re just as important. You can match the cheek and lip color to take the color play to another level. Blue is generally a cool color. A warm blush would work well with a blue dress as it prevents fading and unhealthy paleness. Pink blush would make your cheeks look rosy like a baby’s. If you want a warmer look, try a plum blush. To incorporate the blush, apply three small dabs of powder blush to the center of your cheeks. Apply to skin in circular motions using a large round brush. You can also try bronzer with a blue dress. Using the bronzing powder, draw two small stripes under your cheekbones. Using the brush, blend in straight strokes upwards and towards the ear. It gives a pearlescent shine while emphasizing your facial structure and giving a sophisticated look.
4th eye
Your eyes should speak volumes with every seductive blue dress in your wardrobe. Remember that feminine eyes work particularly well with a bold and gender-neutral color like blue. Metallic smoky eyes with wingtips or cat eyes are some examples of classic eye makeup for a blue dress that adds glamour. If you’re already wearing a bold blue like navy, the metallic part might be gold or champagne in your eyes. However, if you want your eye to be the focus, try downplaying the cheeks and roots to avoid the costume look. If you wear cool blue, try adding green or blue to your eyes for a chic glamor look. Likewise, a warm blue dress requires purple or teal. Although they belong to the same family, the colors should not be exactly the same shade.
Apply light eye color to your entire eyelid. Now take a darker shadow and apply it to the outer corner of the eye in a V shape using an angled stiff brush to create the cat-eye shape. Blend the eyeshadow towards the crease and also apply to the inner corners of the eyes. The center should be the lightest shade. To spice up your look, apply warm gold glitter (if using pink or brown eyeshadow) or silver glitter (if using blue eyeshadow) to the center of the eyelids. Apply kohl to the waterlines of the upper and lower eyelids. Using colored or black eyeliner, draw a line across your upper eyelid that ends in a wing tip. Apply two coats of mascara to your eyelashes.
If you want to accentuate your lip and make it the center of attention, avoid dramatic eye makeup. Apply a light brown or peach eyeshadow to your eyes and finish by lining your eyelashes with eyeliner.
5. Lips
If you have created a dramatic look, a nude lip color is perfect to maintain the elegance. After scrubbing your lip, apply lip balm and line on a nude lip liner. Cover your lips with a peach, pink or other nude lipstick. If you want to make your lips the focal point of your look, opt for a red lip color. After application, fill the lip with the liner to give the lipstick longer lasting. Now cover your lips with a bold red lipstick to make a bold fashion statement. Warm pink or coral can also be combined well with blue.
6. Conclusion
To complete your look, apply a spritz of makeup sealer. This will keep your look fresh for a long time. If you have a mineral powder sealant, you can apply it to your face to create a shimmering effect. Complete the look with the right nail polish and hair styling accessories.
