How to Do Décolletage Makeup: A Guide to a Flawless, Radiant Look

by Alix Avien on Apr 10 2026
Before we get into décolletage makeup, let's explain exactly which areas the décolletage covers: the lower neck, the upper chest, the area between the breasts, and the collarbones. Décolletage makeup can help these areas look healthy and youthful. Décolletage makeup, or body makeup, shouldn't shout "look at me"; it should give a "no-makeup" feel while making the skin look flawless and radiant. But how? Décolletage makeup actually has a very simple formula: Even out the skin tone with the makeup products you use, Play with light and shadow using contour, Use illuminating products to create a healthy glow on the skin. What Is Décolletage Makeup and Why Do It? Décolletage makeup is makeup that makes the décolletage look smoother and more polished, while also covering imperfections in this area. There are several reasons to apply makeup to the décolletage. Here they are: Your skin may get sunburned, redness may appear, or you may have uneven skin tone for any reason. You can even out your skin tone for a smooth-looking décolletage. Décolletage makeup makes your collarbones more defined and your neck look slimmer. If your skin is dry, makeup gives it a dewy look. It makes the body look more toned and your dress look more elegant. It reduces the signs of aging on the skin. How Should You Prep Your Skin Before Décolletage Makeup? Let's list what you need to do to prep the décolletage for makeup: The décolletage is an area exposed to outside factors. Sweat, dust, and perfume residue build up throughout the day. That's why you need to cleanse this area. Exfoliate gently. Use a rich moisturizer. After applying the moisturizer, wait 3-5 minutes for your skin to absorb it. Finally, you can move on to the collarbones, upper chest, and neck makeup. How Do You Apply Foundation and Concealer to the Décolletage? Even tone on the décolletage comes from foundation, and imperfections are hidden with concealer. Choosing a décolletage foundation is a very important decision. The foundation you use on your face may not give the same effect on your décolletage; your décolletage calls for a more fluid, lightweight foundation. Your décolletage is also usually lighter than your face. To even out the tone, you can go with a shade that's half a shade or one shade warmer. When it comes to applying foundation: Instead of applying lots of foundation, use a little at a time, in a controlled way. Using too much product will create an artificial look on your skin. When applying the product, you can use a damp makeup sponge or a makeup brush with a wide head. This way, the product will spread evenly. Once you have finished applying the product, you can use a makeup setter. When it comes to concealer, you shouldn't apply it to your entire décolletage. We recommend applying it only to specific spots, especially on marks, redness, or imperfections. Alix Avien BB Cream: A long-lasting, hydrating BB cream that gives the skin a natural radiance. Alix Avien Kabuki Brush: A makeup brush used to evenly distribute powder and cream makeup products. Alix Avien Cover Care Concealer: A long-lasting concealer that fights dark spots, repairs cells, and hydrates the skin. Alix Avien Makeup Setting Spray: A makeup setting spray with panthenol that doesn't weigh the skin down, lasts long, and gives a radiant, fresh makeup look. How Do You Contour and Highlight the Décolletage? Contouring and highlighting the décolletage adds dimension to the skin. Let's start with contour: We recommend using a cream contour one or two shades deeper than your skin tone. Draw a contour line under your collarbones. Draw two arched lines between your breasts. You can even extend these lines toward the upper part of your chest. Draw lines on the sides of your neck to create a shadow effect. For highlighter: Apply liquid highlighter in a line along the tops of your collarbones. Apply it between your breasts without overdoing it. If you're wearing an off-the-shoulder outfit, you can also apply it to the tops of your shoulders. Alix Avien Liquid Contour: An anti-aging, hydrating contour with vitamin E. Alix Avien Liquid Highlighter: A fluid, lightweight, quick-drying, hydrating liquid highlighter with coconut oil and geranium oil. Should Décolletage Makeup Be Different for Summer and Special Occasions? Décolletage makeup should be different for summer and special occasions. So how do you do neck and décolletage makeup on these days? Before you start, lightness should be your priority when choosing products. Summer is also ideal for glowy body makeup, because while venues and the weather are sparkling, why shouldn't you? In the summer months, sunburn redness in particular can show up whether you like it or not. Décolletage cover makeup can be applied to even out the difference in tone between the face and body. On special occasions, it's important to even out your skin tone flawlessly, because tone differences shouldn't show in photos. We recommend adding more glow and using a setter at the end of your makeup.
