Iltameikki

Iltameikki, often translated as evening makeup or party makeup, refers to makeup looks designed for nighttime events, parties, or formal occasions. Unlike everyday makeup, iltimeikki typically involves bolder colors, more dramatic techniques, and a focus on creating a striking appearance that stands out in lower lighting conditions.

Key elements of iltimeikki often include darker or more intense eyeshadow shades, such as deep blues, purples, greens, or metallics. Smoky eye techniques, where eyeshadow is blended to create a gradient of color from light to dark, are particularly popular for evening looks. Eyeliner is frequently used to define the eyes, with winged liner or heavier application being common. Mascara is applied generously to enhance lash volume and length, and false eyelashes are also a popular choice for added drama.

Lip color for iltimeikki can range from deep reds and berries to vibrant fuchsias or even darker, unconventional shades. A matte or satin finish is often preferred for lipstick, though glossy lips can also be incorporated. For the complexion, iltimeikki may involve more coverage with foundation and concealer, along with contouring and highlighting to sculpt the face and give it a luminous glow. The overall aim is to create a glamorous and memorable look that is suitable for celebrations and special events.
