*Sponsored Post - How to Transform your Day Make-Up into Night Make-Up*

I know that in an ideal world we would all have the time to go home 

after a hard day, take a nice soothing bath and start afresh with 

dazzling make-up ready to dance the night away. Unfortunately not many 

people actually live in the ideal world, well, not many that I know anyhow.




Here are a few tips to transform your subtle day make-up into sparkling 

night make-up without going right back to square one.




The Face




You need a clean canvas before you can paint any kind of professional 

picture – and if you want your make-up to stand the test of time and 

look as fresh and fabulous as it did when you applied it then pay 

special attention to the skin. Your foundation is not going to be great 

after 8 hours work so it is going to need a bit of touching up to say 

the least but – you can’t apply fresh foundation to oily skin because 

that will affect the color of the foundation (which you have naturally 

taken great care to match to your complexion). If you carry a little 

blotting paper with you to blot any excess oil from your skin it will 

make a heap of difference. Foundation sticks are great for applying your 

make-up on the go because they can double up as foundation and 

concealer. Pat in the places you need to pat (particularly beneath the 

eyes) and then seal it with another clean piece of blotting paper for a 

smooth, silky finish.








The Eyes




This is one area which can make an enormous difference when you are 

transforming your subtle day look into a dazzling night time beauty. One 

fabulous idea is to start off the day with a light, smoky make-up for 

the office and simply darken it up a bit for the night time. You can use 

almost any color for this so have a play and go with whatever suits you 

the best. Darken up the smoky color then place the highlighter in the 

center of the eyelid and blend it gently towards the corners to create a 

layered look which draws light and shimmer to the eyes.




It’s also a great idea to thicken up your eye liner or even transform 

your daytime line to a dramatic cats eye – sweeping slightly upwards at 

the outer corners. This not only makes you look fabulous but also more 

awake.








The Lips




The lips are the other important features which need to be transformed 

from day to night. Whatever colour you choose be sure to apply gently 

during the daytime and blot it for a subtle effect but as soon as you 

are in the mood to party saturate the lips with your chosen colour before 

blotting. It’s all about depth of colour really – the more lipstick you 

apply the deeper your colour will be.




In order to prevent this saturated lipstick from bleeding around the 

edges of the lips, always use a lip liner to seal the edges and never 

apply the lipstick straight from the stick – use a lip brush (there are 

plenty of which will do just fine) and dab the colour into the centre 

of the lips before drawing out towards the edges. This will help your 

lipstick to stay bright and bold for the night ahead.











There’s a good selection of makeup brushes available at http://thesalonoutlet.com which are 

perfect to carry around in your makeup bag for when you are ready to 

make the transformation.
