Makeup Tips: Formal Dinners

These are the items you can wear for a formal dinner.

FOUNDATION - if you have a very nice skin you can get away with wearing a sheer type of foundation otherwise a medium coverage; or a tinted moisturizer if your skin is perfect (lucky you!)

PRIMER - if your skin is on the dry type, no need to use a primer;  but if your skin type is on the combination to oily, you might want to consider using a primer that will help your foundation to stay on longer; eyeshadow primer is also a must to prevent shadow from creasing

EYE SHADOW- you can opt for a neutral smokey eye or a shimmery single color on your lids

EYELINER - either a pencil, a gel or with an eyeshadow, I think using an eyeliner gives your makeup look a little 'oomph'


MASCARA - a must; either a lengthening or a volumizing or both

BLUSH - use in moderation no matter what shade you choose

LIPSTICK - as much as I like wearing a red or any deep colored shade, I prefer not to use it on occasions like this only because it is not an easy color to reapply; I prefer using nude shades whether it's a nude pink or a nude brown; and nothing long wearing

Hope this helps and thanks for stopping by!
