Makeup ideas for a red dress
If you are thinking of wearing red, here are some ideas and tricks about how to do your makeup so you stand out, whether for a special occasion or any time of the day.
A red dress is quite striking on any occasion, so when it comes to makeup you should play with your color palette without overloading your face and trying to highlight the main points, such as the eyes and lips.
Nude makeup
Nude makeup is perfect for any occasion, as it aims to make your face look as natural as possible. The idea is to highlight your gaze in a simple way, so it is important that you apply a foundation of a color similar to your skin tone.
The perfect eye makeup should highlight three important aspects: eyebrows, eyelids, and eyelashes. To achieve this, follow the following tips step by step:
- First add shadows to the mobile eyelid using a palette with neutral tones, golden and dark colors. This will give depth to your gaze.
- Then take a little purple eyeshadow and apply it to the crease of your eye and blend. Finally, to add light to your gaze use a lighter color for the tear duct area.
- Apply a mascara to give them volume and length, something fundamental in nude makeup.
- Add a little color to your cheekbones, but don't overdo it because the idea of this makeup is to highlight your skin tone.
- Finally, outline your lips well and apply a lipstick nude according to your skin tone. This will give a natural effect with a subtle touch that will highlight your lips.
Discreet makeup
As a second option, you can opt for discreet eye makeup with some red lips that stand out above all. Some women think that only those with full lips can wear this look. However, this style is also ideal for women with thin lips, especially if what you want is to match your lips with the color of the dress.
Dark makeup
This is makeup for dressing up whose secret is to highlight the eyes. For this, the eyelid should be painted with a discreet shadow and you should line the eyes with a black eyeliner. Also, don't forget to use a eyelash mascara to give them more volume.
Finally, use a lipstick of nude colors or reddish tones that go with your dress.
How to match a red dress
To match a red dress, jackets, coats, footwear, and accessories will depend on the occasion, and of course, your personality.
Jackets and coat
- For special occasions, wear fur coats, preferably in black.- For casual occasions, opt for a black jacket or a denim jacket.
Shoes
- Special occasions: for a gala night, the footwear can be gold, silver, or black frosted, it all depends on the red tone of your dress.
- Casual occasions: for a very casual red dress, you can wear a high sandals (heeled or platform) or low black or red ones. On the other hand, some black boots will be perfect for the winter and autumn seasons.
Accessories or complements
These will depend on the occasion and the type of dress you wear. If we talk about a night of party, then the best option is to choose necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in gold or silver tones. The ideal is always not to overload yourself with many accessories that distract from what is important: your red dress.
