STEP 1 : Apply the Aqua Cream #14 (Satin Brown) with the 5N Brush to your entire eyelid, blending up into the crease of the eye and towards the outer corner. Continue applying/blending along the lower lashline.

STEP 2 : Blend the Aqua Cream #27 (Mat Black) with the 5N Brush along the upper and lower lashlines, and continue blending outwards and up into the crease of the eye forming a banana. 

Using the 8S Brush, perfect the blend between the two colors and soften the edges, by applying some Eyeshadow #04 (Black) over the black Aqua Cream and some Eyeshadow #122 (Metallic Copper) over the Brown Aqua Cream.

STEP 3 : Now add some light to your browbone and inner corner of the eye with some Star Powder #947 (Iridescent Pale Peach) using the 10S Brush.

STEP 4 : This is the exciting step! Apply the Aqua Liner #01 (Gold) to the lower and upper inner corner of the eye. 

Add some intensity with the Kohl Pencil #09 (Matte Mocha Brown) along your lower and upper waterlines.

STEP 5 : Finish off by applying a few coats of Black Smoky Lash to your lashes. You can always add some False Lashes for more eccentricity.

STEP 6 : For your lips, fill in your entire lips with the Aqua Lip Liner #2C (Rosewood) and to unify the texture and add some shine, cover with a transparent gloss like the Glossy Full, a vinyl effect pluming lip gloss.

FINAL RESULT

Don’t forget to define your eyebrows with some Aqua Brow before starting your eye makeup, here we used #03.

As for you complexion, once you have done your foundation and powder, we recommend you sculpt your cheekbones with the Sculpting Blush #18 (Satin light peach), followed by the Compact Shine On powder #3 (Flesh) on your cheeks and up towards your temples. And there you go, all ready for your Christmas party.

BLACK TANGO - Fall 2012

 TANGO SHOW

It was during a trip to Argentina last year that Dany Sanz reconnected with an old friend, Jean-Luc Don Vito,  make-up artist specialized in the world of Tango. This reunion would serve as her inspiration for the MAKE UP FOR EVER Fall 2012 Collection dedicated to this impassioned waltz, a world dear to Dany, who, with her South American roots, used to dance the tango herself. Dany’s ongoing contact with these artists has enabled her to better understand the demands of their stage performances. She took her inspiration from their needs and has created easy-to-use and incredibly long-lasting products that are perfectly tailored to these extreme conditions.


MAKE UP FOR EVER presents its new BLACK TANGO collection, showcasing confidence and sophisticated femininity. Artistic elegance, colors that draw their tones from black lace and the Latin spirit of seduction are in the spotlight.The result is four new AQUA CREAMs offered in a limited edition palette, three matching nail polishes and a lipstick with an incredible, glamorous shine. For creating a precise and passionate Tango look.
