The first thing you should keep in mind when choosing makeup is that it is your big special day and you should look spectacular. A natural look is everything that goes into perfecting the skin, hiding imperfections and highlighting the best features of your face. Regardless of the color of your dress, your makeup should be as natural as possible. If your dress is elegant but simple, colorful makeup is not the best choice. If the dress is a bright color, your makeup should still be with soft and light tones, but in both cases making your eyes stand out.
Moisturize your skin
The tone of the foundation before makeup is according to your skin tone, there are two main things that you should keep in mind: the foundation should not be lighter or darker than your skin tone, and it should be matte, with A matte base will prevent shine on your face, you will have a radiant and perfect face all night. To achieve better effects, spread the foundation evenly also on the neck and décolleté. All this without forgetting the concealers before the base, seal with the translucent powder and a large brush to prevent the makeup from running when dancing at the party.
The choice of colors
The tones should be neutral or pale, well blended. In such cases, the most recommended colors for a quinceañera’s makeup are light brown, beige, light pink, gold or gray, always blended or with a smoky appearance. They are colors that work on all skin tones, they can be modified according to the quinceañera’s preference and they look better in the camera lens. Keep a blush color so soft that it almost looks natural and complete that makeup with a neutral-toned lipstick, a single coat of mascara, and if you choose to use false eyelashes, try not to make them too exaggerated.
Combine colors and techniques
To obtain an appropriate effect you must apply makeup making sure to use enough color on the lips and cheeks but not too much, all colors and effects must be just right. Ideally, the person who does your makeup has knowledge about makeup for quinceañeras; you don’t want to end up with unprofessional makeup full of strong and fluorescent colors, and that also isn’t the result you wanted from your photos and memories of your big day.
Final touches
To ensure that your makeup stays intact for longer, make sure to have a sealing spray applied. If you sweat a lot or it is summer; Use professional makeup wipes to dry sweat without rubbing.

It is advisable to do the hairstyle three hours before, if it is done early in the morning it is more likely that when it is time to show it it will no longer be the same.
Day makeup

Your eyes should be made up depending on the color of your quinceanera dress, the tone of the shadows looks best when it is dark but accompanied by a highlighter to add color and impact to the look.
