If you want to be the woman who enters a room and instantly commands attention, dark feminine makeup is your secret weapon. As the name suggests, this beauty trend is dripping in sultry allure – and exudes power, mystery, and confidence. Think of Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. She’s effortlessly sophisticated with a touch of intrigue. Makeup can shift not just your look, but also your mindset, and if you require a mood boost to shake off the winter blues, dark feminine makeup is your answer. Ahead, we’ll walk you through exactly how to achieve this ultra-seductive beauty look.
You want your skin to be radiant, so a luminous base is a must. Start by applying a layer of illuminating primer, like the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip + Glow, to achieve that lit-from-within effect before foundation. Once blended, use a liquid contour to sculpt your cheekbones and add depth to your features. For an added lift, apply a tiny streak of contour following the natural upward tilt of your outer eye to achieve the cat-eye effect. Lightly bake under the eyes with a loose powder. Then, warm up your complexion with a red wine-toned blush. We like YSL Make Me Blush in the shade Berry Bang – just tap it onto the apples of your cheeks.
For the eyes, begin with a warm brown shadow blended softly into the crease to create depth. Next, add a rich, chocolate shade in a V-shape at the outer corners. To enhance the smoldering aura, tight-line the upper and lower waterlines with creamy brown eyeliner. A bronze shimmer shadow in the inner corners will subtly brighten the eyes, adding dimension. For the finishing touch, add a sharp, winged liquid liner, then curl and coat your lashes with lengthening mascara.
