How do I apply my make-up if I'm wearing a navy blue dress and have a light-medium skin tone?

It is for my 8th grade promotion ceremony. Could you give me both a day and night look?How do I apply my make-up if I'm wearing a navy blue dress and have a light-medium skin tone?
I'm in 8th too...


For the day:


Wear your hair up in any style as long as its not a pony tail. [Go to any salon and they will do it for you or explain to you how to do it yourself]...


First: dust your face all over with bareminerals warmth bronzer but make sure not to put a lot on and use a big brush.

Next: try wearing black eyeliner..this kind is great in black: http://www.bourjoisusa.com/eyes/liner/12


and you can usually buy it at any walgreens or make-up store in your area. Line the inside of the bottom of your eye until you get the desired thickness. Then use some mascara http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Eye/Mascara/volum-express-turbo-boost-washable-mascara.htm works great...go over your lashes a few times and whike they are wet try using an eyelash crimper to make them more defined or just use your fingers a little. Then use some lipgloss..any brand in a shimmery pink will do great. For day..don't go over board.





At night..


Do all the same things on your face, and add different shades of blue for your eyeshadow. Any brand will do it but buy a turquoise, a navy, and something in between. Then apply the medium one on your eyelids, the dark one in the crease, and the lightest one buy your eyebrow. This should work great..and make sure to wear your hair down.








Hope this helps.How do I apply my make-up if I'm wearing a navy blue dress and have a light-medium skin tone?
Day: foundation and use a light pink blush with nude lip color..for your eyes use a nude tone and brown/black volumizing mascara www.physiciansformula.com is my favorite line





Night: use foundation as needed..go light pink blush again..and a nude lip color...eyes this time use a nude tone with a bit of glitter. apply navy liner pencil (NYC) to your top lash line only..but make sure its dark and to both ends..then use the mascara again (two coats) and curl your lashes..:)
night i would suggest a beige shimmer /matte cheek highlighter for the cheek bones, which you can find at any drugstore makeup company, this along with a nude lip colour, and the navy colour eyeshadow not too much though and then with the usual mascara, eyeliner





day: i suggest something just as subtle maybe using a gloss on the lips and no shimmer for the cheek bones, i would suggest a light powder, a natural colour rosy pink perhaps or a tan colour might work better, if you hose tan light eye make up with the a tan colour, or a powder blue,





i hope that helps
