We’re sure you’ll want to look centre of attention to every party you go to. This eye makeup looks good with green, brown and black eye colors. You can also use a rose gold eyeshadow with red dress.
Lips: For the lips, try a red that matches the skin tone. If you have got fair skin, most of the red lipstick shades will look good. However, for dusky to medium skin, use a warm deep red like L’Oreal Paris Moist Matte lipstick in Blaze of Red to make you look ravishing.
But girls, also do not forget to use that inner eye corner highlighting and brow bone highlighting for the evening makeup.
