I'm doing my best friends makeup for prom. I've never done prom makeup before but I thought I'd give it a try, so I'm really excited.
She's fair, blue eyes, blonde hair. I haven't seen her dress yet but she did tell me that it's red. Her accessories will be silver but limited because her dress is a bit flashy.
Normally for myself, this wouldn't be a problem. But seeing as I'm brown eyes and dark hair, things look differently on me. I want to put a few looks together that'll work for best for her. We'll also be doing a few test sittings as well.
1. Color suggestions that will work best? I know that so far the lips will be kept neutral and absolutely no red eyeshadow (lol).
2. Creasing. I'm willing to go out and buy a new base if it'll keep her makeup looking great the entire night. I've been looking into MAC paint pots. Opinions?
3. Any tips for doing another persons makeup? This one is what I'm most nervous about. I have no problem applying makeup on myself but when it comes to doing another person, it's tricky. (Good thing we're doing test sittings!) Are there any tips as far as hand placement goes and angles to work from? I want her to be comfortable but I also need to make sure I can apply the makeup efficiently.
Thanks so much guys, I know this post is kind of long.
