Makeup Tips For A Blue Dress
We’ve all worn the iconic red, white, and black dresses to special occasions. But the blues have a certain quality which other colours can seldom match. So, what happens when we want to wear our favourite sky-coloured dress to a prom, a wedding, or literally any party, but are unsure of our makeup for a blue dress? You may think that a basic eye makeup for blue dress may suffice. But why stick to a plain old look that you have worn everywhere when you can create a striking and elegant makeup for a blue dress?
It's not all that tough to create a lovely look with the Maybelline products and we are here to help you with the same. Here’s what you can implement to make your features pop and exude class through your makeup for a blue dress.
Base makeup
If you want your makeup for blue dress to stand out, start off with a flawless base makeup to support it. Begin your face makeup by using a primer to create a smooth canvas for the rest of your makeup. Follow this step by applying an airy, weightless foundation and create an even complexion with a natural finish. Then, use a brightening concealer to highlight certain parts of your face such as your eye contours and the top of your cheekbones. You can find your perfect concealer shade match by using the Maybelline Foundation Finder tool and go for a shade or two lighter. Lastly, seal the base by using powder. If base makeup and blending gets a lot for you, jump into a skin tint right after your primer to get the same effect with lighter products.

Blush & Highlighter
The cheeks should not draw all the focus while you do your makeup for blue dress. Blue is a cool colour and so, a warm blush such as coral or peach would work well as it keeps you from looking washed out and unhealthy. However, if you wish to go for a dramatic look and make your cheeks look all red and rosy, opt for a wine blush. Take your makeup for a blue dress up a notch, apply a highlighter on your cheekbones in an upward motion, and then, apply it to the bridge and tip of your nose and on your cupid’s bow.
Our picks:
• Blush - Maybelline Fit Me Mono Blush
• Highlighter - Maybelline Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter
Eyes
Your eyes should speak volumes with an alluring blue dress. You must remember that good eye makeup for a blue dress can do wonders to your look. Feminine eyes work well with a powerful and neutral colour like blue. Start your eye makeup for a blue dress by shaping your brows. Remember, metallic, smokey eyes with wingtips or cut crease eyes are some of the classic eye makeup for a blue dress that works up magic. When wearing navy blue, the metallic component in your eyes could be gold and shimmery. However, if you plan to wear a cool blue gown, add a coloured eyeshadow and a coloured eyeliner to your eyes. Give your eyelashes two coats of mascara for the perfect finish to your eye makeup for a blue dress.

• Eyeliner - Maybelline Colossal Bold Liner OR Maybelline Tattoo Studio Gel Eyeliner Pencil

Lipstick
If you have created dramatic eye makeup for blue dress, even a tinted lip balm can suffice. But if you wish to make your lip makeup the focal point of your look? Go for the bold, red lipstick for blue dress. If you wish to play with contrasting colours and add a quotient of glam, you can opt for the fuchsia lipstick for blue dress. Feel free to paint on a tinge of lip gloss to add a bit of fun and shine to your lipstick for blue dress.
