Changing your makeup from a simple daytime look to a glamorous evening style doesn’t have to take long. With a few easy steps, you can make your makeup perfect for any special event. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Freshen Up Your Base
After a busy day, your foundation or concealer might need a little touch-up. Start by blotting away any oil with a tissue or blotting paper. Then, add a bit more foundation or concealer to smooth out any faded spots. For extra glow, apply a bit of highlighter to your cheekbones, nose, and brow bone.
Step 2: Make Your Eyes Pop
Your eyes can take center stage in the evening. Add darker eyeshadow shades, like brown, plum, or gray, to the outer corners of your eyes to create a smoky look. If you used neutral colors during the day, you can add shimmer or metallic shadows for a bold look.
Next, update your eyeliner. Make the line thicker or add a dramatic wing. Finish by applying more mascara or putting on false lashes for extra drama.
Step 3: Bolden Your Lips
Changing your lip color is one of the easiest ways to switch to an evening look. If you wore a neutral lip during the day, wipe it off and apply a bold shade like red, berry, or plum. Use a lip liner to define your lips and keep the color in place.
Step 4: Add Shape and Glow
Contouring and highlighting can elevate your look. Use a matte bronzer to define your cheekbones, jawline, and forehead. Add a little blush to your cheeks for warmth. Finish with a highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones and your Cupid’s bow to create a radiant glow.
Step 5: Lock It In
Finally, spray your face with a setting spray to make your makeup last all night. It also helps refresh your look and gives your makeup a smooth finish.
By following these simple steps, you can easily transition your day makeup into a stunning evening look and be ready to shine at your special event!
