Oh what a night! The White House Correspondents Dinner included guests like Kim Kardashian, Rosario Dawson, Lindsay Lohan, Ginnifer Goodwin, Zooey Deschanel just to name a few. This was definitely a who's who of DC. I attended the after party hosted by Claire Danes and Capitol File Magazine held at the DC Newseum located on 555 Pennsylvania Ave.  It was definitely a night that people will talk about for a while I am sure. We couldn't help but notice the fashion and beauty statements made by our lovely female celebrity guests. Seemed as though red lips and creme colored gowns were the number one picks of the evening. We received requests over the past few days asking for our GET THE LOOK breakdown on beauty.  

Well make-up fans, get your brushes and cosmetics ready!  You will be surprised how carefree this look is.

GET THE LOOK using INK Cosmetics

1. Start with a clean face, moisturize and apply Face Primer.
2. Dab on a little Shadow Primer on the lid.
3. Using Bambi Shadow Trio add the lightest color all over the lid. Then smoke out the outer  
    corners with the medium shade. Line the eyes for a subtle look with a small smudge brush and use the 
    darker brown tone from the trio. Add the color in the outer corner and sweep up towards the crease.
4. Clean any fallen shadow under the eye with a make-up removing pad.
5. Now apply your concealer and foundation. We use our Concealer Duo and Foundation 
    Stick. Trick is to keep it light.  Cover only where you need it.
6. Set foundation with Oil Control Powder.
7. Line outer lips with Bright Eyes Pencil to keep the lip line crisp.
8. Line you lips with Burgundy Lip Liner. Make sure the pencil is sharp for perfect line.
9. Apply Classic Red Lipstick with a lip brush.
10. Finish look with Jet Black Mascara and peachy blush like Captive Glow.
