What your answers mean:
If you chose mainly a’s: You’re the girl next door type. You prefer to stay away from the spotlight and stick to the things you are most comfortable with. Your Quinceañera makeup style should be natural. Ask your makeup artist and/or stylist to use neutral and earthy tones that enhance your beautiful natural features and don’t wash them out, and with sheer or light-colored lip glosses.
If you think mainly of b: You are a sassy diva. You are usually the life of the party and you like to make sure you always look your best. Your Quinceanera makeup style should be dramatic to match your dress and personality. Ask your makeup artist to feel free to experiment with the latest makeup trends like shimmery eye shadows and bold lipstick colors.
If you think mainly of c: you are a classic beauty. Although you prefer things simple/natural, you don’t mind experimenting with current trends from time to time. Your makeup look should be classic. Ask your makeup artist or stylist to use neutral shades that enhance your features, but pair that look with a “bold yet classic” lipstick color, like deep reds, browns, and earthy pinks.
Whatever your style, the basic rules with makeup applications for your quince are:
- A great makeup job starts with a great canvas. To ensure that your face and skin are in their best shape for a makeup application, be sure to eat right, wash your face every day, get plenty of rest and exercise, and follow the beauty tips found in other articles at www.quinceanera.com .
- Don’t wear too much or too heavy makeup. Remember that the trick is to enhance your best features, not to reshape or contour them.
- Always have the makeup artist do a test application before your Quinceanera to make sure you like their work.
