Who said the stars get to have all the fun this weekend? Freshen up your look and step out feeling like a celebrity walking the Green Carpet at IIFA 2015 with this makeup look. Between hair and makeup, we’ve got your beauty inspiration for the awards weekend completely covered.
As illustrated in the gallery above, I opted for a matte base (don’t forget your primer first) and went on top with a yellow-y, lighter colored concealer under my eyes to highlight the area (if you have dark circles, you may want to neutralize them with a slightly darker concealer before you apply foundation). I used a shimmery, powdered highlighter that looks great on camera if you apply it to the correct areas. I kept my contouring very light and blended, but went heavier with a deep pink blush. My eyes were a neutral, yet intense smokey brown. I brought the dark brown down to my lash line to define my eye and went with regular eyeliner on my lids. For my lashes, since I didn’t want falsies, I used a lash curler and applied lots of mascara on my top and bottom lashes for a movie star look. I filled my brows in with a mix of dark and light brown to make it appear darker than normal. For my lips, I went light and finished my look by dusting powder all over my face because green carpets and awards go on forever. Make sure you carry a compact with you!
Now all you need to do is strut your stuff in your favorite gown. Mine is from Forever New. To check out some green carpet fashion inspiration, view this.
I’m spruced up and ready for a big night or a big appearance. I can feel the papz calling out my name already! Get green carpet ready with us and don’t forget to share your pictures. 🙂
