I know that in an ideal world we would all have the time to go homeafter a hard day, take a nice soothing bath and start afresh withdazzling make-up ready to dance the night away. Unfortunately not manypeople 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 sparklingnight make-up without going right back to square one.The FaceYou need a clean canvas before you can paint any kind of professionalpicture – and if you want your make-up to stand the test of time andlook as fresh and fabulous as it did when you applied it then payspecial attention to the skin. Your foundation is not going to be greatafter 8 hours work so it is going to need a bit of touching up to saythe least but – you can’t apply fresh foundation to oily skin becausethat will affect the color of the foundation (which you have naturallytaken great care to match to your complexion). If you carry a littleblotting paper with you to blot any excess oil from your skin it willmake a heap of difference. Foundation sticks are great for applying yourmake-up on the go because they can double up as foundation andconcealer. Pat in the places you need to pat (particularly beneath theeyes) and then seal it with another clean piece of blotting paper for asmooth, silky finish.The EyesThis is one area which can make an enormous difference when you aretransforming your subtle day look into a dazzling night time beauty. Onefabulous idea is to start off the day with a light, smoky make-up forthe office and simply darken it up a bit for the night time. You can usealmost any color for this so have a play and go with whatever suits youthe best. Darken up the smoky color then place the highlighter in thecenter of the eyelid and blend it gently towards the corners to create alayered look which draws light and shimmer to the eyes.It’s also a great idea to thicken up your eye liner or even transformyour daytime line to a dramatic cats eye – sweeping slightly upwards atthe outer corners. This not only makes you look fabulous but also moreawake.The LipsThe lips are the other important features which need to be transformedfrom day to night. Whatever colour you choose be sure to apply gentlyduring the daytime and blot it for a subtle effect but as soon as youare in the mood to party saturate the lips with your chosen colour beforeblotting. It’s all about depth of colour really – the more lipstick youapply the deeper your colour will be.In order to prevent this saturated lipstick from bleeding around theedges of the lips, always use a lip liner to seal the edges and neverapply the lipstick straight from the stick – use a lip brush (there areof the lips before drawing out towards the edges. This will help yourlipstick to stay bright and bold for the night ahead.perfect to carry around in your makeup bag for when you are ready tomake the transformation.*This is a sponsored blog post for The Salon Outlet*
