Date Night: Quick Tips to Freshen Up Your Makeup From Day to Night
Switching from day to night makeup can be difficult for some people since they may take the change a little bit too far. The key to switching from day to night makeup is to make the night makeup look just a bit darker and more sultry than your day makeup. By working with what you already know, you will create a look that is more effortless and natural.
Remove Your Makeup
When going from day to night, the first thing you should do is remove your makeup and start afresh. If your eye makeup has become smeared during the day, you will need to wipe it away.
Switch Out Your Glasses for Contacts
Some people have glasses for daily use and contact lenses for evening use. If you are one of these people, wearing your contacts for a night out will allow people to more easily see expressions created by the eyes.
If you don’t have contact lenses, you can easily visit NextDayLenses to find something that will best suit your needs. However, just remember to be extra careful when applying makeup while wearing contacts to avoid doing any damage.
Apply Makeup in Well-Lit Areas
Many people tend to reapply makeup while on the go. However, for best results, it is wise to do your makeup at home. It is important to do your makeup in a well-lit area where you don’t feel rushed since you could accidentally apply more makeup than you intended to.
Brush on a Darker Shade of Eyeshadow
When it comes to your eyeshadow, all you need to do is wear a darker shade of the same colour you use for your day look. By adding a darker colour to the outside corners and creases, your eyes will better stand out.
Depending on the occasion, some people may also add a bit of shine to their eyes by using a shiny or glittery eyeshadow. However, just like with anything else, it is important not to overdo the shine or you may not create the impression you want.
Add More Eyeliner
If you want to make your eyes pop, using liquid eyeliner can really make them stand out. If you want to be a bit bold, you can use other colours instead of black, such as brown or blue. You should only add eyeliner to your top lash since putting it on your bottom lash as well can actually make your eyes look smaller.
Use Mascara for Fuller Lashes
Applying mascara to your lashes can create a much fuller and enticing look. However, if you already have mascara on from your daytime makeup routine, you should remove it first and start afresh. Unfortunately, if you try to apply new mascara over an existing layer, you will likely only get clumps.
As you can see, switching from your daytime makeup routine to a nighttime routine does not have to be difficult. With these tips, you can attract more attention once the sun goes down.
