“Beauty is power, and makeup is something that enhances that; it’s a woman’s secret.” —
Charlotte Tilbury
“I believe all women are pretty without makeup— but with the right makeup can be pretty powerful” — Bobbi Brown
We’ve all dabbled in it, since the time we secretly played with our mom’s makeup. Playing with different colors, we may have looked very cute to our moms (or maybe not, if we ruined her expensive makeup!)
Just wearing lipstick certainly gives me a boost of confidence and makes me feel like I’m ready to face the world. Makeup is such a pick-me-up!
Most of us have a good understanding of different color palettes and makeup products and can achieve a decent makeup look. Yet, sometimes we struggle to balance day and night makeup. So how do you go from daytime diva to nighttime goddess? Well, I’ve got your back, ladies!
Grab your brushes and makeup kits and get ready to slay from sunrise to sunset.
Now we all know that a major difference between day and night makeup is the consideration of the different lighting and colors that are used. So, let’s take a closer look and explore other differences.
Makeup looks are kept subtle because the natural light of the sun makes heavy makeup jobs more apparent. The use of makeup products is usually less heavy-handed, as the look needs to be fresh and natural.
If you want a more intense and glamorous look, nighttime makeup is the way to go. The use of darker colors and heavier makeup products makes a bold and dramatic statement.
How many times has a salesperson convinced us to buy a product we didn’t need? Sometimes our favorite celeb endorsing a new concealer suddenly becomes a must-have. But do we need to splurge on a lot of unnecessary stuff? Well, let’s dive in and find out what basic products you will need in your arsenal to conquer the world!
Start with a medium-coverage foundation or tinted moisturizer that matches your skin tone and type perfectly. Think of it as the base for the rest of your makeup, giving you a natural and flawless canvas for both daytime elegance and evening allure.
Whether cream or liquid, a concealer is your go-to for covering imperfections, dark spots, dark circles, and color-correcting.
A contouring product is suitable for nighttime makeup, giving it a sculpted, snatched look for extra definition. A bronzer is warmer and a bit more subtle, giving you that soft natural sun-kissed look.
This is often paired with a contouring product. Where contouring creates shadows, adding dimension to the face, a highlighter enhances the shadows. Generally not used during the day, adding a touch of highlighter at night reflects light to help brighten your features.
Depending on your skin type, a cream, liquid, or powder blush can add a healthy flush of color to your cheeks. Lighter colors work best during the day, while bolder shades will glam up your look at night.
A thin eyeliner in a black or brown shade, along with soft neutral eyeshadow colors like tan, caramel, or ivory, can make your eyes pop during the day without being too overpowering. Transitioning to a dramatic evening look can be achieved with thicker eyeliner and eyeshadow shades such as deep plums, rich browns, or sultry blacks.
A good quality waterproof mascara for daily use is a safe bet for minimal-day makeup. For a night out, use a couple of coats of volumizing mascara and let your eyes do the talking!
Well-groomed brows are important to frame your face. Mostly dark brown and black shades are used to shape and define the brows.
A nude or soft pink lip color flatters most complexions, giving a fresh and natural daytime look. However, to turn heads as you step into the night, go for bold, vibrant shades like red, deep plum, or seductive berry!
It is crucial to ensure your makeup lasts all day, regardless of when you apply it. So, opt for a setting spray or powder that will lock in your makeup, keeping it fresh and in place.
Final Word Of Advice: Removing makeup at the end of the day is an essential step in maintaining healthy and radiant skin. Our skin should be able to breathe and rejuvenate overnight. Ladies, promise yourselves this: embrace the art of day-to-night makeup transformation and let your beauty shine
