While you now have a little black dress for every occasion (check them out here), you have to complete the look with fabulous makeup! Tie everything together with the perfect eye and lip combo to attract the attention of your favorite cutie, or just to rock the look for yourself. Here are some possible makeup looks to go with every LBD from last week’s article:
Casual
An outfit decked out in awesome layers is definitely not one you will want to take attention from with an overly-dramatic makeup look, so keep it light and sweet! Her Campus Point Park’s very own Lex Mikula is modeling a light eye done with all of the first Naked Palette’s sparkly neutrals and a brown liner. This look is super simple, but the sparkly shadow will draw all the attention to your eyes without taking away from your fabulous outfit!
Date Night
Capture your cutie’s heart by keeping it romantic! Gabee Benson is modeling a flirty makeup look dominated by pink! The sweet bold lip is one that isn’t as intimidating as a deep red, but isn’t as casual as a nude. Paired with a light, sparkly pink shadow, this look will be sure to have your cutie blushing!
Formal
Shine ‘Old Hollywood Glam’ with this deep lip and bright eyes look modeled by Amanda Brown! The dark, sultry lip draws attention to your smile, while the very light and sparkly tones of your eyeshadow will keep your eyes glimmering. The sparkle in your eyes will be sure to match that of your LBD!
G.N.O.
When going out with your girls, you will own the place with this fantastic dramatic eye look modeled by Her Campus Point Park’s own Emily Jamison! The deep purples, grays, and blacks will draw attention to your eyes while adding to the rocking look of your LBD! Pair with a neutral lip. (Remember: Dramatic eye OR dramatic lip! Never both! It will look overbearing!)
Chic for Class
Rocking a LBD for class is always an awesome idea, but keep your makeup on the natural side! Kristin Snapp is modeling a sweet berry lip color paired with lighter brown tones on her lids, which looks good for any eye color and will be sure to attract the attention of a cutie in class! He will LOVE that you dressed up, but didn’t look like you tried too hard (even if you did!)
