Make No Makeup Mistakes!

Find the perfect look for your big day!
Take these simple steps to plan your party makeup:
Step 1: Skincare is In
Begin a good daily skincare regimen at least 6 weeks before the big day. Correctly cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing will make it easier to apply makeup. Learning if your skin type is oily, dry, blotchy or a combination will help you find the best cosmetics. Step 2: Keep it Natural
For your quinceañera, you want to look fantastic, not fake! Use a fresh neutral palette for your foundation and minimal color on the face.

Step 3: A Good Foundation
Start with an extremely emollient, waterproof concealer and a foundation that is slightly warmer and more golden than your skintone, so that you look health and pretty. To best choose, get expert help at a beauty counter.

Step 4: Made in the Shade
Choose one feature to play up such as the eyes, or the lips and concentrate the color there, keeping the rest of your look neutral. Through testing different shades, you can find colors that complement your complexion, rather than fight it.

Step 5: Lovely Lip Tip
When it comes to lips, watch your color choice if you’re going dramatic with your eye shadow or blush. “Latina women often have sensual full lips that are naturally beautiful so they should select a soft neutral shade,” says Scott Barnes CEO and Creative Director of Scott Barnes Beauty.

Step 6: Set it Up
Once you find the right shades, don’t forget to “set” your complete look. with a translucent powder and a luminizing mist to add a soft, subtle glow to your look. Bonita, chica!
