Makeup To Try With Your LBD:

For the face:

Clean your face properly before you apply any product on your skin. Then, apply a moisturizer and a thin layer of foundation cream. The foundation shade should be as close as possible to the natural color of your skin. After that, apply loose powder or a bronzer that matches the color of your skin and hair. If you have any visible marks on your face, then use a concealer. The concealer can be one tone lighter. Do not forget your cheekbones. You can opt for a light pink or peach rouge. This will give your skin some additional radiance. If you want your cheekbones to stand out, then choose a more discreet lip makeup and eye makeup.

For the eyes:

For a quick and simple eye makeup, an eyeliner and mascara will be just fine. The eyeliner and mascara should be black in color and not brown because brown will look pale and other colors will not compliment your black dress as much as a black eyeliner and a mascara. You can accentuate your eyelashes by applying two coats of mascara. For casual makeup, light beige or shades of white will do just fine. Smokey eyes, steel grey, and suave brown eye makeup will also look good with your LBD.

Smokey eyes:

This will look good on your black dress. What you need to do is you'll need to apply some petroleum jelly on your eyelids and draw a thick line over your eyelashes with the help of a dark kohl. Then, carefully smudge it with your fingers. Dust some black eyeshadows as well for a more dramatic look.

Steel grey:

With a black eyeliner, draw a thick lash line and use a shimmering white liner over the lash line. A mixture of black and white will give a grey effect. Dust some grey eyeshadow.

Suave brown:

Try out brown eye makeup if you are going out for an important meeting. Apply a coffee brown eyeliner and a flesh tone eyeshadow.

For the lips:

Bright shades of red will compliment with your LBD. Women with lighter skin tone can opt for cooler shades like plum. Women with dark skin tone can opt for warm colors.

Before you apply your lipstick, layer your lips with a foundation cream and then draw an outline with a pencil. Apply your lipstick and then blot your lips with a blotting paper. If you feel that your lip color is too bright, place a blotting paper on top of your lips and apply powder on it.
