Make-up for a black dress

Women all over the world should thank Coco Chanel for the fashionable at all times a small black dress. Nothing can compare with it in its minimalism and the infinity of socks options. The dress of black color seems to say: invent with me what you want! But with all the variety of possibilities, these dresses dictate their own laws. Including, and in terms of makeup.


The first law is solemnity. According to the canons of fashion, one does not need to cultivate a passion for black clothes in everyday life. It can be considered an exception only a strict suit of classic cut for business receptions. As it was, but a black dress is an evening gown. The second law: general democracy is not a synonym for permissiveness. It seems that everything is simple: combine the basic color with the details and any shades of accessories - and it's ready. Nothing like this! Subtle refinement of the background always requires refinement in its detailed additions. This applies to an area such as make-up.

How makeup should be

In the first place - the most conspicuous. The entire emphasis of the bright black background of the clothing needs to be carefully placed on the face. The skin before applying decorative cosmetics should be thoroughly cleaned and lubricated with a moisturizing cream, put in order eyebrows. This is a prerequisite for all life events. To begin the make-up you need to mash the lower tonal basis, making the skin smooth and devoid of flaws. It is better to fix the loose powder, as it gives the face a natural and velvety appearance. Gradually we pass to the eyes. It is important to be unshakable, because correctly made eye makeup can give all the appearance of the beauty and stylistic completeness. As an option, a luxurious evening makeup to an elegant black dress is created using the shades of any noble metals. Apply under the eyebrows shadow platinum or silvery, and on the upper movable eyelid - a little golden. To shade the lower eyelid can be a soft pencil-chocolade or light brown tone. The same pencil draws linis in the upper eyelid. The dark tone must be shaded to the edge. Then arrows are fashioned, fashionable and relevant at all times. They are necessarily painted with a black pencil, and in this case it is not the usual flying arrow that is more suitable, but the triangular one is geometrically drawn. Directly under the arrow are put a shade of a shade or a shade of white gold, and in eyelashes are tinted with the help of a volumetric brush. Do not forget about the shape of your eyes. When applying make-up should be on the version that goes specifically to you.

Caution on the lips

By black dress makeup requires expressiveness in every detail of the image. That is why some artful blurring of lines when applying lipstick, which is relevant in recent years, does not fit here at all. Before tinting the lips, you need to circle the contour of the eyeliner - a darker lipstick or pencil. The color of lipstick itself is preferable thick and rich, giving volume and sexual fluffiness to lips. Best of all, black suits bright red or dark red lipstick. This combination is considered the most familiar and harmonious image of the modern female vamp.

It is possible to apply a more natural make-up, where light or even pale shades in lipstick are permissible. She is most often preferred by women who have flawlessly smooth sugared skin. In such a case, it is better to choose shadows more natural matte. When the eyes and lips are completely painted, it remains only to apply a bronzing powder on the region (not rouge) - and the image is completed.

Bright make-up will be chosen for a black dress or natural - in any case, the face must be brightly painted, without regretting colors. Minimalism in the case of a black dress is unnecessary, because you can easily get lost on the background of a deep and eye-catching black base. By and large, black is allowed to be considered festive or evening only because in the "set" with him are supposed luxurious bright accessories, expensive ornaments and real evening make-up.
