Previously on Homecoming Horribles: I talked about dresses to wear, and not to wear.
Hey guys!! Today I am going to talk about a few makeup options for homecoming as well as some products that I am loving! I also just want to start off by saying that Homecoming does not mean break out the Halloween makeup. You can wear a lot of makeup or do a smokey eye without wearing bright, overdone colors. With that said, let's get into the option and products!!
Standard Smokey Eye:
This is always my go-to option for Homecoming. Because you are using blacks and whites, it should match just about any dress. The trick to this look, is to put white on the lid with black on the outer corner and work it into the crease. This looks very easy to over due. Therefore, I think that it is very important to invest in a good blending brush! The one I use is by Sonia Kashuk. Personally, I think that this brand is just as good as the high end brands for brushes. I buy all of my brushes from that brand because they are great but they are also not that expensive. My blending brush cost about $10 which I think is pretty good for a makeup brush.
Brown Smokey Eye:
If you are worried about looking like the wicked witch with the standard smokey eye, you can always opt for a brown one. Brown smokey eyes are just as good as the standard one because they match just about everything. Personally, I like to use matte shadows for this look. My favorite shadow duo for this look is by Este Laughter! I got it a few years ago so I am not positive if they still sell it. However, it is basically a tan matte snacks and a chocolate brown matte color. To deepen this look, I like to use a black liquid liner on my upper lash line because I just think that black liner is an essential for any smokey look.
Pink and Purple:
If your dress matches pink or purple and you want to add a pop of color to your makeup look, you should try out this look. I love to take the cover girl pink quad and use the lightest color on the lid, the second lightest on the outer corner and the second darkest in the crease. This look, if well blended, is just absolutely stunning without being too much and will turn heads on the dance floor.
Products to try in these looks:
1. Liquid Black Liner
2. Cover Girl Pink Eye Shadow Quad
3. Sonia Kasuhk Brushes
4. Este Laughter nude and brown duo
I hope that these three looks give you some ideas for homecoming! If you want to see a video tutorial, let me know in the comments below. And if you have any other makeup looks that you are loving for Homecoming, comment them too!!
