Usually a smokey eye, in blues, browns or purples. A light, barely flushed looking cheek with some bronzer and a pretty highlight color. Also, blacktrack fluidline on the upper lash line, black liner on the lower waterline, and plenty of mascara on curled lashes! And a pretty nude lip, or lipstick and lipgloss to match whatever I’m wearing. I like to look sexy for special occasions, but not too over the top !
Love your special occasion look, Ashley! Very pretty!
I like to do bold eyes. I agree with Ashley’s comment!
Definitely 🙂 I usually do bold eyes, too!
I am with Ashley and Lydia
Bold eyes.Usually for me a smokey eye with a light lip.
My smokey eyes will either be a brownand black or a silver and black look.
and of course MAJOR lashes! : )
Haha, major lashes — of course!
depends on the event and my mood — for girls night out, i go all out and do whatever i feel like LOL but for things like weddings and such i usually stick to a simple eye (highlight on brow, 1 shade on lids, black liner and mascara) and a more colorful lip.
I do subtler makeup at weddings, too, or family occasions myself!
Hmm… I guess I don’t have one look. Probably Sunrise Eyes or Watermelon Eyes…although now that I can finally do smoky, that is definitely entering the repertoire.
Watermelon eyes? What colors/products do you use for those?
Something classy and tasteful, yet bold and glam!
I can go for a smokey eye and a nude lip,
bright lipcolor anda simple neutral eye,
or even a natural look with super sexy cheeks and lashes!
I love smokey eyes with nude lips!
Face – I do my best to get a flawless complexion – I use a primer, concealer, full coverage foundation and blot powder for this.
Eyes – Right now I like wearing MAC Goldmine, Paradisco and Twinks with Rich Ground to line the eyes, Clinique Truly Black on the waterline and Full n Soft Mascara
Cheeks – highligher (Smashbox Soft Lights in Lens) and blush (Sunbasque/Melba)
Lips – Clarins Passion 350 over MAC Spice pencil
I’m all about flawless skin, too, Tonee. I think it’s so essential to any special occasion look!
Hey Cristine,
Something ELEGANT,GLAMOROUS.SOMETHING DRAMATIC EYELASHES AND THE COLOUR ”REDD”.I feel so SEXY in reds.
Zzainy..
Definitely, that makes so much sense, Zainy!
My special occasion look isn’t that different then my average day look – just pumped up and bolder. I always make sure my skin looks the best, break out the concealer and go at it. I like to use a blush and highlighter too. Tons of lashes, and lately I’ve been doing a decent winged liner. Also brow gel is a wonderful thing! I tend to for a glossy neutral on the lips, but I just got Russian Red, so I think I’ll have to use that next time!
The skin has to look good, I totally agree!
