Skincare for Spanish Look – Prom Makeup Look
Before we slap on any makeup, we need a hydrated, canvas. I have started using this Vitamin C Serum as my primer. It hydrate my skin and also gives me that dewy, radiant base that screams healthy glow.
Here’s how I do it:
- Cleanse your face (I use a gentle cleanser due to my problem acne skin).
- Apply a few drops of Vitamin C Serum all over your face, focusing on dry areas.
- Massage it in with your fingers for that extra oomph of hydration
- Let it sink in for a minute while you relax
Trust me, this step makes your foundation glide on like a dream. 😍
Flawless Base – Prom Makeup Tutorial for beginners
As I have made this Spanish Makeup Tutorial on Brown Skin double as a Prom Makeup Tutorial for beginners I have tried to make it as simple and impactful as I can.
For the base, I have decided to use one of my favorite Foundation from Sapphire Cosmetics, which is a total dupe for Giorgio Armani’s luminous silk foundation but way more budget-friendly. This stuff melts into my skin, giving a natural, second-skin finish that’s perfect for prom.
How to apply foundation on face
- Grab a damp beauty blender
- Pump out a small amount of foundation and dot it across your face—forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
- Blend, blend, blend!
This foundation is buildable, so you can go as light or full-coverage as you want. For prom makeup, I like a medium coverage that lets my skin shine through. 💖
PS: Unfortunately this brand is discontinued – IDKW
To keep everything in place (because nobody wants a Melted messy prom pics), I reached for the Laura Mercier Setting Powder. This powder is a game-changer for setting makeup without looking cakey.
How to set foundation with powder
Dip a fluffy powder brush into the powder and tap off the excess.
Lightly dust it over your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and anywhere else you get oily.
How to bake makeup
For extra slay apply a generous amount of powder on the same beauty blender through which you used the foundation
- Use it carefully under the eyes
- And alongside your cheek bones
- Let it sit for 5 minutes, then dust it off with a clean brush.
This keeps your face matte but still radiant—perfect for dancing all night!
Spanish Eye makeup – Spanish Makeup Tutorial on Brown Skin
In Spanish Makeup Tutorial on Brown Skin – eyes are where we bring that Spanish fire! We’re going for a warm, sultry look with pops of shimmer.
Here’s the breakdown:
1- Base with MAC Red Brick Eye Shadow ( and as a blush multitasking queen!).
This warm, reddish-orange shade is chef’s kiss on brown skin.
How to use :
With a flat shader brush, pack Red Brick all over your lids, blending slightly into the crease. Use a fluffy blending brush to soften the edges for a seamless look.
2- Shimmer with Note Beauty Highlighter
To make those eyes sparkle, I used very little Note Beauty Highlighter in TerraCotta.
How to use :
- Use your fingers on top of the base for the golden-bronze look for maximum impact.
- Apply a bit to the lower lash line and inner corners of your eyes to make them pop.
3- Define with Essence Teddy Kajal Pencil
For that sultry, bigger-eye effect, I grabbed the Essence Teddy Kajal Pencil. This creamy brown pencil is perfect for beginners.
- Line your waterline to define your eyes.
- Smudge a bit along the lower lash line and blend it out with a small brush for a soft, smoky effect.
4- Wing It with Maybelline Hyper Ink Eyeliner
No Spanish-inspired look is complete without a fierce wing! The Maybelline Hyper Ink Eyeliner makes it easy, even for newbies.
Start with a thin line along your upper lash line, following your eye’s natural shape. Flick it upward at the outer corner to create a wing.
(Pro tip: Use a piece of tape as a guide if you’re nervous!)
Clean up any mistakes with a Q-tip dipped in micellar water.
5- Lashes for Days with Maybelline Colossal Mascara
Finish the eyes with Maybelline Colossal Mascara. This gives crazy volume and length without clumping.Add a second coat to the upper lashes if you want extra drama and we have the perfect eyes for the Spanish Makeup Tutorial on Brown Skin.

Back to MAC Red Brick—this time as a blush! This shade gives a natural, flushed look that screams Spanish sunset.
