Quick Answer
Use the Taylor-Made Dramatique Lip & Eye Kit to create a bold, coordinated look by layering eye color first, then finishing with the lip products for a polished, high-impact finish.
Why a Coordinated Kit Makes Application Easier
A coordinated kit like this one takes the guesswork out of pairing shades. Because the eye and lip products are designed to work together, you can build a look that feels intentional without having to mix and match from separate collections.
The kit's intense color payoff means a little goes a long way. Start with light layers and build up to your desired drama—this gives you control and prevents over-application, which is especially important for bold looks.
Trade-Off: Bold vs. Wearable
If you're new to dramatic makeup, the high-impact shades can feel intimidating. The trade-off is that you can easily tone down the look by sheering out the color or focusing on one feature at a time. For a more wearable version, apply the eye shades softly and keep the lip color as the statement.
Conversely, if you want full drama, don't be afraid to layer the products. The formulas are designed to deliver intense color, so layering will give you that editorial finish without looking patchy.
Step-by-Step Application
- Prep the eyes: Start with a clean, moisturized eye area. Apply a thin layer of eye primer or concealer to create a smooth base for the eye products. Skipping primer can lead to creasing and less vibrant color.
- Build the eye look: Using the eye products from the kit, apply a medium shade to the lid and blend outward. Then deepen the outer corner with a darker shade for dimension. Build intensity gradually. Blend well to avoid harsh lines—use a soft, fluffy brush.
- Define the lash line: Use a liner or dark shadow from the kit to define the upper lash line. Keep it close to the lashes for a natural yet dramatic effect. Don't pull the skin taut while applying; this can cause uneven lines.
- Finish with lips: Apply the lip product from the kit to complete the look. For precision, use a lip liner first, then fill in with the lipstick or gloss. Blot and reapply for longer wear. Exfoliate lips beforehand to ensure smooth, even application.
- Set and check: Set the look with a setting spray or powder if needed. Check the overall balance—if the eyes are bold, keep the lips slightly softer, or vice versa, to avoid competing features. Use a mirror in natural light to ensure the colors look harmonious.
