Hi Helena! I'm going on a date with a guy this weekend and need some makeup help. I'm looking for a sexy but not too exaggerated makeup as I know he likes natural looks. Nothing on the lips, but preferably something that highlights them. I have blue eyes with green splashes in them. I would be very happy if you helped me!
Oh how fun! Here are my top two tips:
1. Intense eyes requires less makeup, and at the same time gives this "sexy" effect without feeling over-made up.
2. From experience;) so I know a little small color click at the end of the eyelid / upper lash line makes the eye more flirty! There is something interesting happening in his eyes, and he will not be able to stop looking into your eyes;)
Here is my interpretation - A semi-intense make-up that does not stand out in the crowd directly, but makes you want to look a little closer.
1. Add one light yellow / white eye shadow at the inside of the eyelid and lower lash line, as well as in the corner of the eye and under the brow.
Annika's favorite shadow, Eyedust (No.1)
Tip: If you want a more natural look, choose a matte eye shadow instead of shimmery.
2. Add one very light brown eye shadow along the globe line.
GloBlush Powder Rouge (Sunset)
There should only be a hint of shadow, so that the black shadow does not get as much contrast to the skin, but blends in a little better.
3. Soot with one black eye shadow at the bottom of the eyelid, mostly at the outer edge.
Smashbox (Kiss' N Tell)
Be sure to blur a lot so that you do not get sharp edges. When you soot such a small part of the eye, it can help to have a smaller brush.
4. Divide the inner lash line with black and white eyeliner.
White eyeliner innermost on the inner lash line, H&M.
Black eyeliner at the end of the inner lash line, Gloprecisio Eye Pencil (Black)
The black eyeliner gives the eye a more intense look, while the white opens the eye more. If you want it even more intense, apply black eyeliner whole inner fringe.
5. Add one turquoise eyeliner at the top of the upper lash line.
Yves Rocher Waterproof Kajal (05 Turquoise)
You can of course use whichever color you feel best in. IsaDora is also good metallic eyeliner which I can recommend for this :)
6. End with black mascara on all upper and outer lower lashes.
Make Up Store, Multilash.
Not applying mascara on all lower lashes is also a detail that gives a flirty impression, while not adding more makeup!
For your lips, I recommend lypsyl + rouge!
Apply lip balm to the entire lips, and dab a pink ruoge (not shimmery) with your blush brush. Then you get a natural result that does not look made up, while they get a little livelier shade :)
Hope you are happy with my tutorial, and that you feel shitty on the date!
Good luck!
