Combination of Gold and Red on make up and further matching with clothing and hair

Hey everyone !!

I am Irina and this article is requested by a friend that she finally inspired me to make this blog and i thank her a lot for this motivation  :) !

To begin with , the request was about how to combine gold and red colours on make up in a way to look sexy but keep it on looking fresh and appropriate for a girl on her early 20's . After that the question is how to match this make up in a girlie way of clothing and hairstyling in order to avoid it looking '' too formal '' . 


MAKE UP
To get started be sure that your skin is totally clear ( face soaps in gelly format work better on me ) and that you have applied the cream you usually do. After it will have been absorbed by your skin, it will be ready for the make up process ! Note : this make up should be avoided if your skip is not clear of 'red signs' or black areas under your eyes because the 'trick' to keep this make up young and fresh is to avoid the high coverage of the skin !!

So , put on some concealler ONLY on the areas that you notice colour contrast ( TIP : conceallers with green base 'hide' the red signs and those with yellow base can hide the black signs as well ) and then put on just a little foundation ( i prefer liquid format because on my skin -mixed/oily- it gives more natural view ) and be sure you will apply it everywhere ! It's really important to AVOID the 'thick' coverage view ! Your skin must look fresh and young .

As long as the red lipstick is really bold and attracts the eye ,it would be better to choose a light and soft gold eye shadow ( try to avoid glitter ones if you go out in the daylight ) which you will apply in the whole area . I usually apply a little white glitter eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eyes and also to the bones next to the eyes. Then use an eye liner ( i used black liquid one with thin brush ) and make a line on the 1/2 outter line just on the line of your eyelashes ( it will look so natural and give you a bold eye view ) and then finish with a little black mascara .

For the lips , be sure you apply a lip balm and let it be absorbed so your lips won't be dry and have annoying skin parts coming out. Then use a lip pensil to draw your lip's shape ( TIP : make a bolder like in the edges of each lip and i will make your lips look well shaped. ) . Next it's the turn of the lipstick and to complete your make up add some lip gloss to make your lips look juicy and mention that you are still young ! Especially in the summer glossy effect on lips looks really nice !

To avoid making the make up effect look too heavy i didn't put any rouge matterial on my face but if you feel you really need it just apply A LITTLE , so it will be barely visible. The effect of make up tricks that are barely seen is very charming ,classy and appropriate for all the hours of the day !

CLOTHING

You'd better choose clothing with simple colours such black and white that will balance the high contrast between gold and red. My choise was a nice black and white dress without special cuts or shapes that even though it has many patterns still smooths the colour variety and matches nice with the make up colours. All in all keep it simple. Avoid the heavy earings or bracelets. My choise was small earings and just a small simple necklace . 




HAIRSTYLING

According to hairstyling it's really important to keep it simple too . The make up is too bold and it needs simple stuff to look balanced and young. So my choice for your hair is either to make a pony tail , or you can catch them on the top of your head but not in a strict way. Leaving some sections of hair free gives you the sense of '' childish'' youth . I also add a red bow around of them but it's up to my style so if you don't like it you can avoid it ! 

So that's all for now , hope my advices will be useful and i will be glad if you visit again my blog!
Till the next time,take care :D
