Hi, my name is Yessica Andrea, and I'm a professional makeup artist. And today, I'm going to show you how to apply fancy dress makeup for caramel skin. First thing you want to do is you want to start out with a clean face. Once you have a clean face, you then want to apply some moisturizer. Once you've done that, you then want to go ahead and highlight and prime certain areas to cover any dark circles or any blotches, or marks on your skin. Okay. Make sure you get it everywhere so you have a nice even coverage. Once you've done that you want to then go ahead apply some powder with a powdered brush and make sure you get that all throughout your face nice and even. Remove some of that shine from the moisturizer. After you've done that you then want to go ahead into your eye shadow. I'm going to get a nice shadow brush it's a real big one. So, I'm then going to go ahead and put some of the light shadow on the inner part of my eye, and I'm going to blend. I'm going to do that on the second eye. My second color is going to be a very light pink. And I'm going to put this in the middle part of my eye. And this color is nice and light so I'm also going to do it on my brow bone. So the next thing you want to do is you want to go ahead and get a very small shadow brush and I'm going to use some of my black liquid makeup. And I'm going to make a nice little V shape right over here. Kind of bring it out give it a nice little cat eye look. So do that on the other eye. And bring it up. Next thing I want to do is I want to blend my black liquid makeup and I'm blending it in the crease of my eyes, the outer corners of my eyes. And a little bit on my brow bone. Okay. Do the same on the other eye. Now, I am going to add another color on top. It's kind of like a forest green. This looks really good on caramel skin. And I'm going to put this one right on top of my black shadow. Okay so this still gives it a dark look but not so dark. Not too much like black. Looks really good. Normally people with caramel skin look good with earth tone colors. Finally, I'm going to apply some more powder underneath my eyes. And some mascara to complete the look. And there you have it nice fancy makeup for people with caramel skin. I'm Yessica Andrea, and thank you for watching.
