How to Turn Daytime Makeup Into

Nighttime Makeup

Difficulty: Easy

Dimmed lights and shadowy rooms add allure and mystique to your favorite nighttime
haunts. Enhance your daytime makeup to stand out in the relative obscurity.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Use a clean cotton swab to remove any flakes of eye makeup, remedy
running eyeliner or bleeding lipstick, and blend away any creased concealer or
foundation. Use facial tissue to rub off any remaining lip color.
• STEP 2: Absorb any excess oil by pressing a blotting paper onto shiny skin.
• STEP 3: Check the areas you concealed or applied foundation to. Touch up
obvious under-eye circles and blemishes with a very small dab of concealer.
Apply additional foundation to your skin where you notice fading or unevenness.
• STEP 4: Set your makeup with pressed powder. Sweep blush from the apple of
your cheek to your hairline. Go slightly darker than your daytime blush so that the
contour of your cheek stands out even more.
• STEP 5: Add drama to end-of-the-day eyes with additional eye shadow and
eyeliner. Retrace your shadow, darkening the crease and upper corner of the
eyelid. Or line your eyes with a dark line that traces the upper lid, and smudge it
for a smoky look.
• STEP 6: Add a touch of mascara to the tips of your lashes.
• STEP 7: Consider adding a touch of shimmery powder or glitter to the outside
corner of your eyes, cheekbones or décolletage. Use it sparingly for a subtle effect
that's sure to catch the attention of an admirer.
• STEP 8: Apply a small amount of lip balm for moisture. Line your lips and then
fill them in with matching lip color. Finish with a gloss for additional glamour.

Tips & Warnings

• Dramatize your eyes or lips, but not both. Balance more prominent eye makeup
with a nude or more neutral lipstick. Match delicate eye makeup with darker,
more defined lips.
• Substitute expensive blotting papers with the end papers hairstylists use for
perms. They're available at most beauty supply stores.
• Remember that your nighttime makeup might look a little bold under bright
bathroom or office lighting. Trust that it will suit the dimmer lights of your after-
dark destination.
