While the little black dress has remained an icon throughout the history of fashion, we’ve seen more makeup trends come and go, and return again through the years, giving us pause to stop and ask ourselves, “When it comes to dressing up, what makeup looks should we really be wearing?”
- Eye color combination
Emphasizing eyes and lips while wearing a black dress brings balance and versatility to your makeup look, due to the fact you can choose any color palette you want. The options truly are endless. The soft mauve eyeshadow colors on the eyes and lips here are an excellent example of how wearing color can elevate any look instantly.

3. Red lips
Bold red lips paired with minimal eye makeup show that the smallest bit of color is a powerful tool that takes your look to the next level while wearing a black dress. These red lips seriously set the tone for all the right kinds of drama.
4. Silver Linings
Metallic eyes and matte lips show how textures and finishes in makeup can pop more than ever when worn with a black dress. The glistening silver shadow and peachy lipstick shown here are a modern classic, and we truly love it.
5. Smoldering Eyes, Bold Brows
Bold brows, smoldering eyes, and bright lips—this classic makeup look is a total win to pair with a black dress, and the reasons why are endless. Make the eyes as dressy as you like—the more dramatic, the better.
6. Glossy
Glossy lips is a quick and easy way to put a makeup look together to wear with a black dress—and cost-efficient, too, as they are usually items you already have in your makeup bag.
