Hey guys! So I have a banquet for the theatre department for my school since our spring production just ended, and it's a dinner and an award ceremony, very formal. I'm wearing a peach dress and tan heels, what jewelry/makeup/hair should I have? I have blonde hair with blue eyes.

That dress is coming off red from my phone screen, but I would pair it with a classic red lip and a very simple eye. A nude beige or nude peachy eyelid with a soft brown in the crease - very very soft look. Regular black liner, wing it if you like. To add a pop you can add a peachy-golden or golden shimmer to your inner corner (tearduct) of your eye. I would be soft on the blush and contouring if you choose to contour. And even if you don't contour, you can highlight your cheek bones and down your nose with a little shimmer that will compliment your skins undertone. As far as jewelry, I would keep it simple. Either crystal studs or chandelier earrings that are crystal and not too colorful. I'm sure you can find some at Clair's. You can do a gold watch or chain link bracelet, just something simple and elegant. For necklace I would do a gold piece, or a piece that looks crystal. Basically - something simple in color lol. Maybe a teardrop necklace that is even plated in silver wouldn't look bad. you can wear some simple ring candy or none at all. Just nothing bulky. The focus would be your gorgeous blue eyes and the red lip for your face, and the pieces would accent your dress perfectly without taking away your dress or shoes' shine. :)
