6 Easy Ways To Take Your Make-Up From Day To Night
Start Light
If I know I’m going out in the evening, I’ll typically opt for less make-up during the day. This way, come evening, I can build on a minimal base. For example, applying liner over liner isn't a great look so just a hint of mascara in the day allows me to add liner and shadow later for evening without having to fix or remove anything. This is especially important if you know you may be short on time.
Add Colour Later
Using neutral colours in the daytime means you can add pops of colour later. Lipstick is one product that can change the feel of your look in minimal time. If you’ve only got time for one step, make it this one – a bold lip is one of my own go-tos.
Rehydrate Your Skin
Keep a hydrating face mist in your handbag. A spritz of this means you can take your look from day to night without needing to remove your base make-up. Not only will it add moisture and refresh your make-up, it’ll allow you to touch up your base products without them looking flat or dull – if you add a little extra powder, say.
Opt For Lashes
I’m a lover of strip lashes in the evenings. Applying them over your everyday make-up can add drama without having to layer mascara on top of mascara. Strip lashes also make it easier to remove your make-up at the end of the evening, as you can simply just whip them off without spending ages trying to break down layers of mascara.
Top Up Your Concealer
Concealer can not only brighten up under-eye areas which may look a little tired after a day of work. It can also hide the fact product might have slipped away. Skin dries out throughout the day and is therefore most dehydrated in the evening, so opt for a creamy, nourishing concealer formula to help with this when topping up.
Don't Forget The Brows
Finally, brush up those brows! The best way to do this is to use a brow gel to give them a slightly more defined look and to give maximum lift to the eye area. This will also make your make-up look fresher and your eyes more awake.
