Changing “day” makeup to “night” makeup within minutes

Most of us do not wear black shadow and thick black liner to work, but maybe if you’re going out with friends at night you could rock the smokey eyes. If you already have make up on it’s easy to change your day makeup to night makeup within a few minutes. First, if you had mascara and liner on during the day and it has run down a bit, simply take some face/hand lotion and some kleenax and using the lotion as a makeup remover clean up all the makeup around your eyes. Work gently around your eyes because this area is very sensitive but using lotion will help moisturize that area while removing unwanted makeup.

Once the area has been cleaned up reapply foundation/concealer as you normally would. If you have a white eyeliner pencil, highlight your brow area and blend. Then line your top lash line with black eyeliner pencil- it has to be pencil eyeliner not liquid because liquid does not blend very well. Once lined- blend blend blend! Blend with your finger tip or some pencils have a blending tool on the end of the pencil. Don’t blend too far up your eye lids, the dark color should be concentrated around your lash line. Once the top has been blended then line the water line as well as the lash line on the bottom then blend with finger for a softer, more smudged look.  Reapply mascara for a fresher look and fill in eye brows if you feel the need to do that- remember don’t fill in eye brows using black pencil- go for a dark brown or a more natural tone of brown.

Once the eyes are complete simply apply your blush/bronzer and a darker shade of lipstick such as a burgundy or red and voila! Transformation from simple day makeup to a dazzling night look complete!
