Formal Weekend

This past weekend was formal for my sorority, quite a stressful day. I had to do my own makeup along with the eyes of 3 of my friends. For each of my friends I tried to match the eye look I was doing to their dresses. I have photos of two of the friends, Emma and Mackenzie. Overall at the end of the night it couldn’t have gone better and the makeup survived which is a plus.

For Emma, since she was wearing a black romper with red and pink flowers all over it, I went with a pink eye look. I feel like pink/red eye looks can easily be hit or miss situations, at least when I do them. I feel as though there is a fine line between looking gorgeous and looking like you have pink eye. Luckily for her I think it turned out beautiful. I first laid down and neutral brown shade for the transition and then used a pinky red one for the crease. I then laid a shimmery pink silver shade all over the lid with a lid brush dampened with Mac Fix Plus. (Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette and Ciaté London Chloe Morello Palette)

As for Mackenzie, she was wearing a nude strapless dress with gold sequins. I went for a neutral eye look since that is what she was looking for in her makeup. I stayed with browns and golds mostly with a few other added colors. I started again with a light brown transition shade in the crease then I began to darken the crease with a slightly darker brown/gray shade. I added shimmer as well with the dampened brush, except this time adding a neutral shimmer to the inner part of the lid and a gold shimmer to the outer part of the lid. (Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette and Ciaté London Chloe Morello Palette)
