Date night make-up

[TheDiesel]

I am fairly make-up illiterate and I would like some help. My fiance and I are going out on a date night in a week and here is the outfit i will be wearing.

I'm mainly unsure how to do my eye make-up. I typically only wear no tint moisturizer, eye liner and lip gloss. I want something fairly easy. Any help? (I also really hope this is the right section and I apologize if it's not)

And here's a picture of me...

how about using a blue eyeliner on the upper lid? tht will keep it simple and add a pop of colour too? pplus a pink gloss? and your such a cute couple

Cute dress! And you are so pretty, your skin is amazing!

I think shimmery copper/bronze colours work wonderfully with turquoise, and also harmonise with your shoes without being too matchy-matchy. Based on what you normally wear, I would keep it simple and fresh - just a sheer wash of colour on the lids will do nicely.

I would start with a shimmery neutral colour, like a champagne or nude, all over the lid (e.g. MAC Bare Study Paint Pot, or Grain eyeshadow ). Then just blend a shimmery copper or bronze colour into the crease and outer corner (e.g. MAC Romp or Bronze eyeshadows). Black eyeliner on top and bottom lashline, and 1-2 coats of mascara to finish.

To finish it off, I'd add a soft peach blush, and a nude or neutral gloss.

Hope that helps. Have fun on your date!!

Thank you! I like this idea, might be a lil bit under what I want. But we'll see!

I may play around with this idea. No idea if I can do it myself, but I'm going to try! lol

If all else fails, it's a great excuse to book in a makeover

Usually that's what I end up doing if I want to try out something really new (even better if the cost is redeemable on product!)

I would do a neutral eye with a pop of turquoise on the lower lashline with dark brown eyeliner, peachy cheeks and nude lips.

I would do a plain neutral eye with dark brown liner, a neutral blush and a lightly berry-stained lip.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions! I'm going to play around with all of them. (Depending on how cold it is I'll be wearing a brown sweater too btw)

any shimmery warm bronze colors would go perfectly with that beautiful dress! They would also make your eyes POP!

Gorgeous dress - and you have wonderful skin so I would keep your makeup light and fresh - try just a pat of powder on top of the tinted moisturiser. Use a peachy blush and a teeny bit of highlighter on your cheeks. Use a shimmery neutral shadow, and then apply eyeliner as usual on lid, and on waterline. Then, just smudge softly over the liner on your lids with a bronze or coppery shadow - giving you a little more 'smoke' without looking over made-up!
Make sure your colour your lips in with lip liner (avoid it wearing off unevenly) and then finish with a peachy gloss.
Good luck!
