Graduation day is a significant milestone in any student’s life, marking the culmination of years of hard work and the beginning of a new chapter. As you step forward to receive your diploma, you’ll want to look and feel your best. Emily Kitchener Make-Up specialises in creating natural, elegant makeup looks that enhance your features and ensure you look perfect in your graduation photos and beyond. This detailed guide explores how to achieve a flawless yet understated look for your graduation ceremony.
The Essence of Natural Elegance
Natural and elegant makeup focuses on enhancing your natural beauty rather than transforming it. Emily Kitchener believes that graduation makeup should feel comfortable and reflect your true self, allowing your genuine happiness and achievement to shine through.
Skin Perfection: Achieving a flawless base is the foundation of any great makeup look. Emily starts with a light moisturiser and a primer suited to your skin type to create a smooth canvas. She then applies a lightweight foundation or BB cream that offers enough coverage to even out the skin tone without masking it. The goal is to look radiant and fresh-faced, as if you’re not wearing any makeup at all.
Subtle Contouring and Highlighting: To give the face a more defined structure without appearing overdone, Emily uses subtle contouring techniques along the cheekbones, jawline, and temples. She opts for a natural matte bronzer that complements your skin tone. Highlighting is kept to a soft glow, focusing on the high points of the face like the cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of the nose to enhance your features under the graduation cap and in the light.
Soft, Defined Eyes: For the eyes, the key is to look awake and bright. Emily prefers neutral shades that slightly deepen your natural eye colour. A touch of mascara and a thin liner enhance the lash line, making the eyes appear larger and more expressive without the starkness of a heavy makeup look. Eyebrows are filled in softly to frame the face gracefully.
Lip Colour for a Lasting Impression
The perfect lip colour completes the graduation makeup. Emily recommends choosing a shade that is one or two tones deeper than your natural lip colour. This approach adds a touch of elegance without overwhelming the rest of the makeup. She often opts for long-lasting lip stains or hydrating matte lipsticks that will stay put through speeches, smiles, and celebrations.
