Whether you’re headed to a board meeting, going out with friends or heading to the gym, having your look together can make all the difference. And this is especially true if you’re making a quick transition from day-to-night. Here are our top tips for doing just that:
Foundation
To ensure a seamless transition from day to night, it’s important to apply foundation. This can be done with a brush or sponge and will help even out your skin tone so that you look more polished.
To start, apply the foundation to the center of your face (your nose, forehead and chin). Then move outward in small circular motions until all areas are covered by an even layer of product. Next comes neck and jawline: Using either fingers or a makeup sponge/brush in light strokes from ear to ear across jawline will ensure there are no uneven spots on either side of this area! Finally add some extra coverage under ears for added confidence that nobody will notice those pesky dark circles after hours spent studying late into the night!
Concealer
Concealer is a must if you have dark circles or blemishes. Use a concealer that matches your skin tone, and apply it before foundation.
If you want to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, use a liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer instead of heavier creams or powders. These formulas are thin enough not to settle into fine lines but still provide coverage.
If possible, skip powder altogether; it can make skin look flaky and dry out over time as well as set off breakouts by clogging pores (especially around the nose). If you must use powder for touchups throughout the day, opt for mineral-based products such as pressed powder foundations instead–they’re less likely than traditional ones made from talc or other fillers because they tend not to be as thickly applied at one time!
Powder and Bronzer
Once you’ve applied foundation, use a powder with a light hand to set it. This will ensure that your make-up doesn’t budge throughout the day and night. Next, add bronzer if desired (it’s optional). Bronzer can be used as contour or warmth depending on how much you apply: if you’re looking for more definition in your face, go heavy with bronzer; if not then skip this step altogether!
Eyeliner/Mascara
- Use a waterproof liner.
- Pencils are easier to sharpen than liquid eyeliners, and they give you more control over your application.
- If using an angled brush (like this one), hold it at a 45-degree angle so that the tip touches your lashline and then pull upward in one smooth motion; this will help avoid getting any on the lid or under eye area, where it can look unsightly when smudged by tears later in the day!
- For mascara: apply two coats of mascara from root to tip before curling lashes with an eyelash curler (this step is optional). Then use small brushes to apply additional coats of mascara only where needed–on lower lashes only if necessary–to finish off your look!
You can change your make-up as easily as slipping on a new top.
- Use the right products.
- Blend well.
- Prime your face and neck, then apply foundation to create an even canvas for your makeup.
- Conceal any blemishes or redness with a creamy concealer that’s one shade lighter than your natural skin tone (but no lighter). If you want to hide dark circles under your eyes, use a yellow-tinted product on top of the greenish/blue tinted primer above it–it’ll counteract any darkness there! Don’t forget to blend! You don’t want people staring at those weird lines where you’ve applied concealer because they look like they belong on an alien face instead of yours!
- Powder down any shine with setting powder so that no one sees those little glistening globules clinging onto their faces after applying moisturizer earlier this morning before leaving home…or maybe just now when getting ready before going out tonight! Either way works fine as long as everything gets covered up nicely so nothing shines through except maybe some glittery eyeshadow overtop which would probably look pretty cool anyway if done right 🙂
Conclusion
When it comes to your face, less is more. Keep it simple and use products that are easy to apply and blend in seamlessly. The best way to get a beautiful look is by starting with a good foundation and concealer, then adding highlights with bronzer and blush.
