When you work in an office setting, chances are that you wear your makeup very light when working around coworkers, managers and clients. Day makeup should always be lighter because office lights and bright sunlight outside can give darker makeup looks a not-so-favorable appearance. However, many women who work in an office might not go straight home after their workday is over. Whether you're planning a night out with the girls or are going out on a date after work, it's always a good idea to transition your look.
Why Transition from Day to Night Makeup
As stated before, daytime makeup should always be lighter, with a lighter eye shadow color, less dramatic lip color and softer liner on the lids and underneath the eyes. When it comes to night-time, a more dramatic makeup look is always the best thing for most women. The reason for this is due to the fact that you're going to be in very low lighting. Lighter makeup, when worn at night, can actually make you look pale and sickly, so a darker shade of makeup on eyes and lips can definitely improve your overall appearance and give you a more sultry look.
How to Make the Transition from Day to Night Makeup
The best thing for you to do is to focus all of your makeup on your eyes and lips. Let's say that you don't wear eye shadow to the office and just have mascara on. You'll want to add some beautiful, shimmery eye shadow to the lids of your eyes and the brow bone. Try to go for a smokey eye because this gives a beautiful dramatic effect which looks great in nighttime lighting. You'll also want to line your eyes. You can either line your eyes on the lid or on the waterline, whichever look you prefer for yourself.
Also, take your skin color into consideration when choosing colors to use on the eyes. If you have very pale skin, a black liner and black eye shadow is going to make you look quite unnatural. Instead, go for a more golden color eye shadow and a brown liner to better complement your skin color. Don't be afraid to experiment with colors before you go out for the evening. Makeup can always be washed off and redone, so it's alright to try different looks until you find the one that you like.
When it comes to your lips, try to choose a color that complements your eyes well. In general, if you go with a very dark eye, you'll want to tone things down a bit by choosing a very neutral lip color. Again, don't be afraid to experiment with colors and try them on for yourself. The purpose of going out at night with the girls to party is to have fun and just let loose. A great nighttime makeup might seem a little too dark for your usual daytime tastes, but it can really give you a sultrier look that you've never tried before.
