Day to Night MAKEUP TRANSITION

You can keep the eye makeup as it is, but adding a little bit of shimmer and highlighter will take this matte-neutral look from daytime appropriate to nighttime glam!

DZ To start, use a black or brown pencil liner and line the outer half of the lower waterline. Stop in the middle. We do not want to cover the whole lash line here. [picture 1]

DZ Smudge this liner by taking a little bit of the blush shade. [picture 2]

DZ Always start by preparing the skin with proper moisturizer and/or primer. If your skin doesn’t need any extra coverage, you can skip the foundation or CC cream and use a little bit of concealer under the eyes and around the mouth. If you want a little more coverage, use your favorite face product (foundation or BB/CC cream) with a damp sponge.

DZ Use the setting powder to set the concealer and the oily parts of your face.

DZ Use the blush shade to bring some color back to your cheeks.

DZ Set the face with a setting spray and let it sit for a couple of minutes.

Take the lipstick you like to use every day, regardless of the color. Gently dab it on lips and blend it with your clean finger to give a stain effect. Voila! Daytime makeup is done.

DZ Take your highlighter (or a sparkly liquid/cream shadow), and add it to the middle part of the upper lid. [pictures 3 and 4]

DZ Add the same highlighter to the inner corner as well. [picture 5]

DZ You can also add some mascara to bring out the lashes, and the eye makeup is pretty much done! [picture 6]

We are not going to wipe o and start the face makeup, rather we will just take o the oil and sweat and refresh the makeup.

DZ To tackle the greasiness, use tissue paper, fold it on your fingers and gently pat it around your nose, face, forehead and mouth. [picture 1]

DZ Take your setting powder and gently press it around the center of the face or any area that needs to get refreshed. You can use a brush or a cushion puff. [picture 2]

DZ Take a little bit of the highlighter and use it only on the top part of your cheekbones. It will bring the glow back to your face without making it look greasy. [picture 3]

This is a neat trick I came across online: Add one shade darker lip liner (darker than your lipstick) to line your lips. Smudge the liner to give it a softer blended look. Fill in the lips with your nude/pink lipstick. This trick will make your pouts fuller and more luscious.

See how easy it was? If you practice the steps a couple of times, you will get the hang of it, and the process will take less and less time eventually.
