Chic Makeup Step By Step Guide To A Chic Look:
Here is how to create this stunning look in six simple steps. Just follow the step-by-step instructions to create a sultry mixture of dark and light tones.
 - This is a sophisticated look, with the focus very much on the eyes. Once you have applied foundation, concealer and powder, you are ready to start work on your eye make-up. Sweep a smoky dark brown eye shadow over your eyelid and blend it carefully into the crease. A simple sponge applicator is less likely to flick colour away than a brush, but still take the precaution of sweeping a line of loose powder under your eyes to catch any falling specks of dark shadow.
- Apply a little of the same eye shadow under your lower lashes to accentuate the shape of your eyes. This will give a balanced look to your eye make-up, and provide a smooth base on which to apply your eyeliner at the next stage. The emphasis is on glamour and impact.
- Although black eyeliner is usually too severe for harsh daylight, its perfect for this look, which is designed to be seen in softer, sexier light. Using a pencil, carefully draw a fine line above and below your lashes. If you find it hard to create a steady line, try drawing a series of tiny dots, then blend them together with a clean cotton bud.
- To contrast with the dark, smoky look on your eyelids, sweep a pearly ivory shadow over your brow bones for a wide-eyed look. Apply a little at a time, building
- Tawny blusher or a bronzing powder is ideal for this look, as the natural colour wont compete with the rest of your make-up. Sweep it smoothly over your cheekbones, taking care to blend away the edges into your hairline.
- Keeping the lips neutral gives this look its real impact, and updates it. Opt for a pinkish-beige shade of lip pencil and smudge it over your entire mouth for a matte, understated effect.
