Prom makeup

[KTB]

My step daughter has asked me to do her makeup for Prom

Her dress is long, halter neck and a bright pink. Very pretty but not sexy or anything really (which is just fine by me

)

Anyway, I'm looking for some suggestions of what to put on her. She doesn't wear a lot of make up on a day to day basis so I don't want to go overboard and freak her out. She's about an NC 25, with green eyes and currently light brown hair but is planning to go a honey blond.

TIA

Burgundy smoky eye. Nothing really on lips except some gloss. Soft highlighted cheeks (say Vanilla pigment)

I hadn't even thought of burgundy!

That would be gorgeous!! Artifact Paint Pot and Embark eyeshadow are both beautiful burgundies.

Thanks revinn - I'll check out these colours. I can ALWAYS find an excuse to add more to my collection

Burgundy would be very hard to do, in my opinion, without a ton of black e/l. It could make her look bruisey. Instead, I would keep it to a champagne wash and pretty bronze e/l, maybe winged, to really bring out her eyes. It won't be harsh, but it will be pretty.

I second the natural glowy look with a neutral champagne wash... burgundy *can* look a little too mature.

I like the champagne suggestion kage. We're going to play this weekend and try some things out. Since she doesn't wear much m/u in general you might be right about the burgundy.

I guess I'll just have to try both

She might end up loving it! Maybe ask her to look through some magazines and show you stuff she likes? That might help as well!

Great idea.
