2 Evening Makeup Looks

Note: Foundation & Powder application is considered a given.

Look #1 - Dramatic Eyes
This is my favorite because I always like emphasizing my eyes.

You'll Need:

• A monochromatic or similar colors eye-shadow quad
  (or at least a trio) with a medium shade, a light shade,
  & a dark shade (e.l.f.'s brightening eye color quads are great)
  
• Blackest Volume & Lengthening Mascara You've Got (L'Oreal's Volume Shocking is perfect for that VaVaVoom effect)
  
• Black Eyeliner
• A subtle blush
  
• A neutral (pinky-nude) lipgloss (e.l.f.'s moisture care lipgloss in natural blush is the perfect pinky-nude)
  

Your Look:

• Prep your lids (primer or foundation & powder)
• Cover your entire lid with the medium shade
• Using dark color, contour on sides & in crease for dramatic depth
• Using light color, highlight your lid directly in the center
  (to draw attention to your eye color)
• Using light color, highlight your brow bone & the inner corner of your eye
• Apply your black eyeliner & a coat or 2 of mascara
• Apply & blend blush on to apples of cheeks
  
• Swipe a coat of pinky-nude gloss on your lips & that's it!
  

Look #2 - Intense Lips
Intense, full lips are always sexy.

You'll Need:

• A lip brush (e.l.f. has a variety
  of brushes & tools to choose from)
  
• Tissue to blot
• An intense shade of lipstick that
  goes well with your skin tone
• A sheer neutral eyeshadow
• A subtle blush
  
• liner & mascara
• (Optional) lipgloss
  

Your Look:

• Prep your lips (whichever way you do it)
• Using your lip brush, apply a layer of intense lip color
• Blot with a piece of tissue & apply another layer
• Repeat, if necessary
• (Optional) Apply gloss to center of bottom lip then smack
  them both together, Now you've got an even fuller pout
  
• Apply a sheer wash of neutral color on the eyes
• Apply & blend blush on to apples of cheeks
  
• Apply liner & mascara
• Using a retractable lip brush, grab some of the lip color, retract the brush & toss it into your bag for touch ups on the go
