Beautiful dramatic makeup for the Marine Corps Ball. To achieve this look, I used these products from my line:
-Foundation: Long Wearing Matte Foundation in “Vanilla” – *Pro Tip:* Set it using loose translucent powder pressed into the skin with a velour puff, then brush down the excess and your foundation will be perfect for several hours
-Brows: Blender Pencil in “Dark Taupe” – this is a pressed powder pencil which gives a natural hair-like finish to the brows
-Cheeks: Cheeks were contoured with “Cedar” Matte Eyeshadow; this particular shadow can be used to contour the face on fairer skin tones and as an eyeshadow so I used it in her crease as well.
-Blush: Blush was “Coral Sun” Mineral Blush which has a golden natural highlight built in
-Eyes: Eyes were a classic glamour style with the inner corners highlighted with “Sandy Peach” Polychromatic Eyeshadow, blending into “Tornado” Matte Eyeshadow and deepening at the corners with “Truffle” Matte Eyeshadow
-Lips: This one was Satin Lipstick in “Newbury Street”. This color is part of my new lipstick line for fall. I just reformulated most of my lipsticks so check out the satin lipsticks and cream lipsticks; they are all new. **Most of the other formulas are being discontinued slowly so if you have a favorite, order now while you can.** If you like this soft, sexy type of lip but want something more cool toned try “Thames Street” in the same Satin formula.
-Eyeliner: To finish, I always like to water line because it gives the eye more pop without a heavy look so I used the Gel Liner in “Noir” to line the inner eyelids.
