LIFESTYLE INSPIRATION

I created this look to capture an allure that exudes confidence and power!  I also wanted the look to be versatile so that a woman who wears it can transition easily from business to an evening outing.

SKINCARE

For pre-makeup skin prep I used 3Lab M Cream for the perfect non-greasy foundation, and Natura Bissé Diamond Extreme Eye for intense moisturization of the eye region.

DAYTIME COLOR PALETTE

I set the complexion to look polished and realistic with warmth added to areas where it would naturally be. The eyes are delicately lined and enhanced with a light sweep of metallic topaz and matte heather grey, and the lips are supple and nude with the perfect amount of depth to balance out the eyes.

NIGHTTIME COLOR ENHANCEMENTS

For night, I added drama to the eyes!  Intense eyeliner, celestial shimmer shadow, eye contour and faux mink lashes make the eyes alluring. I added more highlight to the heights of the cheekbones and I balanced it with a stronger contour and soft mauve blush application. The intense eye shares the stage with a beautiful bold velvet matte shade of Cabernet for the lips!

COMPLETE THE LOOK

For a couture ensemble, the Velvet Rope look pairs well with a tailored black business suit and heels during the day.  For evening, an Hervé Leger long-sleeve Bandage Dress complements the confidence of this striking look!
