1. Get Ready to Make a Day to Night Transformation
Are you ready to transform your look from day to night? Get ready to explore the wonderful options available and become the showstopper at any event. Here’s how to make sure you put your best face forward for a night on the town.
- Start With the Basics: Transitioning your look requires a great canvas to work with. Wash your face with the right cleanser, tone, and moisturize. Add foundation in a matching shade for a natural look.
- Go for Glowy Skin: Apply highlighter to your cheekbones, nose, and chin for a healthy, luminous glow. Use the same foundation to perfect the features of your face with a light touch. Blush and a nude lip can make any face look fresh.
- Smoke Out the Eyes: Give your eyes a smoky, seriously sexy shape with shades of greys, pinks, or purples. Blend with a brush for a perfect fade. Frame the look with some lashes and kohl rimmed eyes.
- Find the Right Shade: Use shades of wine, magenta, or vivid maroon, on your lips. Complete the look with a matte finish in the same shade as your blush to get the perfect mix of classic and trendy.
- Embrace the Drama: Make your outfit for the night as glamorous as your look. Add some drama with beading, embroidery, or a touch of sparkle. Put your best foot forward and be the talk of the night!
Now, you are ready for your night out! The key to creating a day-to-night look is to focus on nuances. With the right makeup, you can create looks that are both simple and striking. Make sure you keep practice makes perfect in mind so you can look your glamorous best every single time.
2. Makeup Essentials for Creating a Fresh, Nighttime Look
Creating a classic, timeless nighttime look that you can wear for any occasion is without a doubt a challenge. However, with a few select makeup products, you can easily recreate this look. Here are the must-have make-up essentials for creating a fresh nighttime look.
Foundation – A lightweight foundation will help give your skin a dewy, natural look. Choose one that is oil-free and contains SPF to not only give your skin a smooth finish but to also protect it from the sun.
Concealer – Concealers are not essential to creating a fresh look, but they are essential if you want to hide any flaws on your skin and give it an even look. Choose one that will blend perfectly with your skin’s natural tone.
Eyes – To give your eyelashes a lengthy look and a subtle hint of colour, apply a coating of mascara. For added glamour, you can also use a liquid eyeliner. Taking the time to prep the eyes will ensure they are the main feature of your face.
Blush – Blush is a great way to give your complexion a natural glow and to enhance other makeup such as mascara and eye shadows. Choose a blush in a medium shade that can be blended easily onto your skin for a warm, natural finish.
- Bronzer
- Highlighter
- Lip Colour
Last but not least, add a hint of colour to your lips with a lip colour that is close to your natural lip tone. You can choose a matte or glossy finish, depending on what you’re looking for. Don’t forget to use a lip liner to give your lips an even look.
3. Turning up Your Look with Simple Tricks
Some people are great at making an effortless and stylish fashion statement. But if you are still struggling to step up your game, you don’t have to feel disheartened. Here are some easy tricks to get you on the right track.
Playing with Textures:
Choosing the right textures is key when it comes to fashion statements. You can opt for lightweight textiles like fine cotton, silk or organza, or for more rough materials, such as tweed, corduroy and velvet. Different combinations are possible like a velvet dress with poker work shoes and a bomber jacket. Play around with different textures, sizes and colors for a fresh, yet sophisticated look.
Layering Outfits:
Another great way to step up your outfit game is layering. Tie a silk scarf around your neck over a crisp white shirt and pair it with a blazer to add more dimension to your outfit. You can also try cascading layers in a single color palette or contrasting textures and hues.
A Touch of Accessories:
Accessorizing your outfit is a great way to bring out your personality and define your look. A wide-brimmed hat, oversized glasses, statement jewelry pieces or a designer belt can all help turn up your look. Make sure to tune in the trend with whatever piece you decide to complement your look, and don’t be afraid to add a shockingly-colored accessory that will fit your overall ensemble.
Shoes:
Finally, don’t forget about shoes; they can be a show-stopper or a total disaster for your look. Investing in a good pair of shoes can go a long way. Don’t just go for the season’s latest pair. Also have some outfit staples in your closet such as timeless ankle boots, pointed-toe flats or high heels that can be easily mixed and matched for different looks.
