Clean up
The first step in going from day
makeup to night makeup is erasing the damage to your look you've done throughout
the day. Use a good Blot paper to remove any oils that may
have built up over the day.
Pay special attention to your T-zone, as these are the areas
that tend to build up shine. Wipe away any eye makeup that may have smeared, and
touch up your foundation and concealer if it's needed.
Eyes
For a sultry nighttime look, use a darker shade of your
daytime eye shadow to enhance your eyes. Add some to the creases above your
eyes, then use the same shade around the outside corners and under your bottom
lashes.
Apply eyeliner to your top lash, and use liquid eyeliner if
you want to add a little more to the look. Avoid adding more mascara, since
adding new mascara on top of old usually results in clumps.
Skin
You don't need as much blush at night as you do during the
day. Since you've been up and at it for hours, your blood is probably pumping
well and doing a good job of giving you a rosy complexion. If you do touch up
your blush, don't add much more than you started with.
Your nighttime look needs a little bit of sparkle. Use a
shimmer powder to highlight your cheekbones, chin, forehead and neck. If you're
showing skin around your shoulders, collar bone or cleavage area, add some
there, too.
Lips
To take your pout from day to night, apply a lip color that's
a few shades darker than your natural lip color. Top it off with a high-shine
lip gloss to add that extra something you need at night.
Since you're going heavy on the eyes, be careful not to
overdo it on your lips. If you want to use an especially dark or bright lip
color to help your nighttime look pack a punch, add less eye shadow. Trying to
highlight both will leave you looking less like a hot mama, and more like a
circus clown.
