What makeup colors to use for a red dress?9 replies

I have my graduation ceremony in a few days, and I’m having trouble deciding what to do for my makeup. I will be wearing a long silky/satiny red dress. I have a very fair complexion, green eyes, and brown hair. I want to do an accentuated eye look. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Maybe a dark brown or black smoky eye =] Something along the lines of this:
    Good luck, and congrats on graduation! =]

    Go to youtube.com and then search Sephora. They have tutorials online you can search through those.

    A smoky eye is always good. You never want to exactly match your eyeshadow to your outfit. Unless it’s a highlight. I use Mac cosmetics and I live by it. For a red dress, I would use the Passionate color as a highlight for blending above the crease. I would use Shadowy Lady or Print on the lid and blend it upward. The highlight would come last.

    a golden eyeshadow above and wear a blue mascara to make your green eyes pop.

    definitely go for a shimmery silver eyeshadow (NYX cosmetics has a great glittery one) with black eyeliner across the lids of your eyes and a little mascara

    Earth tones or black I think can go with a red dress
