Day to Night Makeup Tutorial with 2 Lip Options

Hello Again,

The other day I was thinking about how difficult it can be to go from a day look to a night look. I decided to create this look and show you how easy it can be to do just that in a few simple steps. 

If you would like to see how I transform my makeup from day to night...Keep on scrollin' 

~Day Look~

I chose a primer that holds up nicely throughout the day. This one by elf is amazing, I actually have already purchased a back up and it should be arriving any day now. If you have a new primer that you are dying to try out, now is NOT the time to test it! You want to use something that you are familiar with and know will last all day.

I concealed like I usually do with my corrective and brightening shade.

I know this looks like a ton of concealer and on a normal day I only put a stripe of Fit Me down the side of my nose, but because we are going out later I wanted a more highlighted effect. I mean, what night out doesn't involve selfies and group pics with the girls, right?

I blended them in with a damp sponge.

Set with an HD Powder. Again, use a powder that you know won't settle into your fine lines throughout the day.

I don't switch up foundations day to night. I usually wear this one unless I am going to be photographed (at a wedding, special event, etc.)

Priming my lids is something I never skip! If you don't usually prime your lids then you might be able to get by without this but this is a must for me.

You can't go wrong with a matte eye, in my opinion. You don't have to worry about shimmer falling all over your face or fading as time goes on and I think it is a classic and clean look. Something to think about: if you are going out straight from work and won't have a chance to go home, pick a palette that you can easily throw in your makeup bag. This palette is the perfect size for that and it has a great variety of shadows in it.

I took "Heaven" all over the lid with a flat shadow brush. This gave me a nice bright base that will help keep my eye looking awake during the day.

I applied the shade "Nudie" to my crease for a bit of definition. Making sure that I took my time to blend the color so there were no harsh lines.

Then called in my standard lash team.

I finished off the face with this nice rosey blush for a natural flush look.

I applied a Butter Gloss for a few reasons: They are easy to apply, they're comfortable, and this shade is perfect for light makeup days.

Here is the completed Day Look. Not too over done, just enough to look fresh and pretty.

I love how the lashes stand out with this minimal eyeshadow!

~Night Look~

Now I will walk you through some simple steps to really amp up the look and get you ready for your night out.

First, I want to add more definition to the eye. I did this by taking the shade "Risque" on a pencil brush and darkening the outer corner.

Using the same brush and the shade "Sexpresso", I added even more darkness to the outer corner. You might notice that I don't do "The outer V" technique because I have a more rounded eye shape and I feel like the "V" can look a bit too heavy at times. I apply my darker shadows in the natural curve of my eye socket because I think it is more flattering on me. Especially if I am wearing falsies, which you will see in a minute!

I blended the shadows out with a fluffy brush.

I decided I needed a little bit of warmth above the shadows so I went in with "Honey Butter" on an angled shadow brush. 

I applied a bit more of "Heaven" to the brow bone.

I smudged "Risque" under the lower lash line with my favorite smudge brush. I got this when Morphe was on Hautelook and it has turned out to be my favorite!

I added dark brown liner because I was going to be putting on falsies and I wanted to conceal the band. Which didn't work because I was not pleased with the lash band AT ALL! More about that later.

I applied a it more of mascara to the upper and lower lashes.

I added on the falsies. These were pretty but I was not happy with the way the band shines once the lash is on your eye. It probably wouldn't be noticed by anyone else but I noticed it and that was all I kept looking at when I was taking pictures.

I countered and bronzed my face with this It Cosmetics compact.

I applied the blush from the palette as well. This is a gorgeous shimmery shade and I love the way it reflects in the light.

I use any excuse to put on a highlight. So I swept this all over the high points of my face.

~Lip Option #1~

I lined and filled in my lips with Eastend Snob and then went over the top with Chocolaque.

Here are some pictures of the final look with this lip option.

and one more!

~Lip Option #2~

For the second lip option, I chose something dark and vampy. I lined and filled in my lips with Plush Plum lip liner and went over the top with Blissful Berry. Wait until you see this lip combo!

Isn't it gorgeous?! I did not want to take this off! and look at how different it made the eyes look! I didn't do anything extra to the eyes but that lip color makes those shadows pop!

and one more!
