Hey gorgeous! Every girl needs to know how to style some basic outfits, and a black dress or top are such types of clothes. Wanna know how to accessorize a black dress for a formal event?
Well actually, they’re also some of the easiest to accessorize. Black and white both provide a blank canvas on which both metallic as well as colored accessories work great. And, you can even go for multicolored accessories. However, if you wanna keep it safe and simple, add a classic touch with a pearl necklace, black box clutch, black pumps and you’ll never go wrong.

Makeup for Black Dress for a Formal Party
With a classic look, it’s best to keep your makeup glam yet subtle for a formal party. Go for a coral lipstick, light red, or pink shades. Add winged eyeliner over a smooth base and minimal blush. For a sexy party look, you can add glitter eyeshadow. However, for making it glam yet wearable, you can add just highlighter on your cheekbones, and go for shimmery metallic eyeshadow in gold or copper tones. You can also wear a black and pale gold smokey eye.
