Effortless Day to Night Makeup Tips: Elevate Your Everyday Look
Posted by Skye Fagan
Transitioning your makeup from day to night doesn't have to be complicated. With a few simple steps, you can effortlessly elevate your everyday or work makeup into a glamorous evening look. In this blog post, I'll share easy-to-follow tips that will help you spice up your makeup routine and take your look from day to night seamlessly.
Touch Up Your Base:
The key to a flawless day-to-night transition is refreshing your base. If you find your skin has produced excess oil throughout the day, you can blot any excess using a simple tissue or blotting paper. This will help remove shine and prevent your makeup from looking cakey. Once you've blotted, apply a light layer of setting powder to mattify your skin.
Retouch Your Foundation, Contour, and Blush:
After touching up your base, it's time to refresh your foundation, contour and blush. Use your choice of Mineral Goddess loose or cream foundation to even out your skin tone. Blend your foundation seamlessly into your skin using a luxury long-handle kabuki brush #1 or #3 for a natural finish. Then, apply a touch of contour with the angle brush #4 to add some depth under your cheekbones, and blush to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy flush of color to your complexion.
Add a Little Something Extra to the Eyes:
To amp up your daytime eye makeup for a night out, focus on adding some depth and dimension to your eyes. You can do this by deepening the crease of your eye with a slightly darker shade to create definition. Personally, I love to use the ‘spice’ pressed bronzer on my eyes; you could also use ‘bark’ loose eyeshadow or ‘cacao’ pressed eyeshadow. To add a wow factor, apply a shimmer or colorful eyeshadow to the center of the lid to catch the light and make your eyes pop. You can also deepen your lash line with a pencil eyeliner in Tigers Eye or Night and finish off the look with a few coats of Mineral Goddess mascara to lengthen and define your lashes.
Highlight and Define Brows:
Highlighter is the secret weapon for achieving a radiant, glowing complexion in the right places. Apply our luminous cream or loose highlighter to the high points of your face, including the tops of your cheekbones, brow bone, and your cupid's bow. This will instantly brighten your complexion and give you a youthful, dewy glow. Additionally, don't forget to rebrush any messy hairs and define your brows using the #13 angle brush and loose stone or pressed taupe powder to frame your eyes and complete your look.
Apply Your Favorite Lipstick:
No day-to-night makeup look is complete without the perfect lipstick. Choose something bold or your favorite statement-making shade that complements your skin tone and adds a pop of color to your lips. With multiple Mineral Goddess lipstick shades to choose from, you're not short of choice here. Whether you prefer a classic red, a sultry rosy, pretty in pink, or a fruity splash, applying lipstick is the final step to elevating your makeup look and making a lasting impression. Don't forget to reline your lips first with the Mineral Goddess Pencil Liners, available in two universal shades, Enchant or Earthy.
With these easy-to-follow tips, you can effortlessly transition your makeup from day to night and spice up your everyday or work makeup routine. Whether you're heading to a dinner date, a night out with friends, or a special event, these simple steps will help you look and feel your best no matter the occasion. I encourage you to experiment with different looks and have fun expressing your personal style through makeup!
