Makeup Steps to Create Your Sexy Face
After you’ve completed your basic face, a favorite look of mine, especially for a photo session is an understated sexy look.
Think Victoria’s Secret model!
Eyes
For the eyes, I chose a soft, classic shadow look with a light lid, smoky crease, and light brow bone. You can create depth by using a soft beige throughout the crease in a sweeping motion, next add a deeper cool brown in the deepest part of the crease, concentrating on the outer corner. Add a light shimmer shadow to the eye lid, brow bone, and inner corner of the eye.
Line just under the lower lash line with a creamy liner, starting at the outer corner and tapering about mid way across. Do NOT line the inside waterline. This makes your eyes look small! Instead, choose a color that compliments your eye color. Since my eyes are green, I chose a brown with a purple undertone. If your eyes are blue or brown, a copper color will be more flattering.
Next, apply liquid liner to the top lash line. A wing may not work for all eye shapes, but for me, I like to extend my lash line to a sharp point.
Follow that with 2-3 coats of a black, thickening mascara.

Lips
To add some volume to your lips, choose a lip liner that is a few shades darker than your natural lip color. I chose one with a brown undertone. Line around the outside and fill the outer corners. I added a sheer pink lip plumper. This enhances the natural pink in the lips and gives a pouty appearance. (Don’t forget to check out the post about your Everyday Lip too!)
