Step-by-step Nighttime Makeup Application
When you have a hectic schedule it is sometimes difficult to fit in
time for a social life. However, you can cut down on the time that
it takes you to get ready for a night on the town by following a few
easy steps. These steps will help you transition your day makeup to
night makeup in no time at all.
Step #1 Prepare for the Transition from Day to Night
If you will need to change your makeup at work then you will want to
pack a small makeup kit to take with you. In this kit you will need,
makeup remover wipes, mascara, and eye shadow trio or quad, powder,
concealer, and lip gloss.
Step #2 Wipe Off the Stress of the Day
The first step is to clean up the smudges on your face where your
liner, eye color, and lip color have run. Use your makeup remover
wipes to clean up your face and refresh your skin. If your eyes are
feeling tired and dry, you might want to apply a dab of moisturizer
to the lids of your eyes.
Step #3 Conceal It
If you have dark circles under your eyes then you will want to use a
yellow based concealer stick to camouflage the discoloration. Blend
the concealer to make it less noticeable. Dont over apply your
concealer.
Step #4 Foundation
Next you will want to take a close look at your face. If you have
shiny spots then you will want to use your foundation compact to
blot away the shine. If it is a hot day or night, then you may want
to use a powder foundation instead of an oil based foundation.
Step #5 Eyes
To create a dramatic eye you will need a black eye liner. First of
all create a dark line to the upper lash line. Use your finger or a
Q-tip to smudge the liner and create a smoky look. Next line your
bottom eye lid with a thin line. Use your powder to set these lines.
Next apply your eye shadow. Because it is night and you are trying
for a dramatic look then you will want to use darker shades of
shadow then you would normally use during the day. Finally apply
your mascara.
Step #6 Cheeks
Take out your eye shadow trio or quad. If this quad has a color that
will work for your cheeks then use it. Apply a good sweep of color
to the area that is located slightly below your cheekbone ridges.
Step #7 Lips
The final step is to color your lips. Since you created a dramatic
eye for your evening look then you dont want to over do your lips.
Instead use a neutral tinted lip gloss to add class and style to
your lips and to finish your look.
