In this image shown on the left, I applied black floral lace to the side of the model’s face.

As the lace was such a focal point, my next job was to complete the look by balancing the lace with the colors used in my makeup application.

Dark eye makeup weighed out the color and fullness of the lace while red glossy lips gave the image a boost of color and energy. As a makeup artist, it’s always fun to experiment with different textures and colors.
