Makeup for the Night Widow

Quick Tip

Now this just has to be creepy. I've given this some thought and decided instead of leaning toward the beauty aspect, I would go for the cold and wicked look. Here's what I came up with.

Foundation: I would try a cream makeup for this particular look. And once it has been blended, I would top it off with a layer of powder to set it all in place for the evening.

Concealer: If you need concealer, apply whatever is necessary with the aid of a foundation brush. Actually, there is such a thing as a concealer brush which is just a smaller version of the foundation brush. Mine usually does double duty.

Shading: Not needed, but if you want to emphasize your cheekbones, a little color below will help give them a little boost.

Highlighting: Place some light reflecting powder on the sections of your face that fall below the eyes. You want this part of your face to look absolutely flawless. Eye Liner: I want more emphasis on the lashes for this look, so I would apply a very thin line smudged into the lash line. All we want to do is make the lashes look fuller. Use a lengthening mascara or perhaps even false lashes might be something to consider. And if you can find false lashes that have a sparkle line, even better.

Eye Brows: You obviously won't want anyone in the room with better brows than you, so do whatever maintenance is necessary. Remember, often they will need only snipping of long hairs. Plucking isn't always necessary.

Eye Shadow: Everyone has a favorite color of shadow... now is the time to use it. Dampen your shadow brush and then pick up a small amount of shadow. The dampness will help to keep the shadow in place while intensifying the color. Personally, because of my dark coloring, I would choose a silver shadow, but again, use the color that really makes the color of your eyes stand out.

Blush: I'm going to try a different placement this time. With your fingers, touch the very outside corners of your cheekbones. This is where you are going to apply color. As for the color... I would choose something a bit more intense than you would normally. Tonight there is nothing quiet and demure about you.

Lipstick: Start with a blood red shade and then mix in a small amount of blue to darken the color even more. At this time of year, you should have no difficulty finding unusual shades of lipstick on the market.
