My male friend is diguising himself as a girl for a Halloween prank. He is half East Indian, with dark hair and eyes and somewhat dark skin, but the wig he found for the costume is a kind of medium blonde with a slightly reddish/orange hue about it. The goal is to make him look as much like a girl as possible -- he's trying to fool some friends -- so the makeup shouldn't look too clumsy. You may have guessed that I have been put in charge of the makeup for him.
So, what colors of lipstick/eye shadow/blush would someone with such coloring use?
An East Indian with Blond hair should wear what shades of makeup?
Lipstick -- dark peach
Eye shadow -- dusty dark peach with accents of a light beige shiny eyeshadow
Blush -- Blush -- stick with just several shades of foundation, followed by dusting with a translucent powder to "set" the look
or you could try...
Lipstick -- ruby
Eye shadow -- shiny metallic brown fading to lighter metallic rose
Blush -- Blush -- stick with just several shades of foundation, followed by dusting with a translucent powder to "set" the look
or you could try...
Lipstick -- mocha
Eye shadow -- coffee fading to mocha
Blush -- stick with just several shades of foundation, followed by dusting with a translucent powder to "set" the look
What will really make the difference is using some brown eyeliner for the lipliner (ever so lightly). Feather it in to make it look completely natural and 3-D...It will make his lips much more professional.
Stay away from pink blush because Indians tend to have yellowish undertones in their skin...
