GIVENCHY MAGIC KHOL EYELINEr PENCIL A flawless complexion with an accent of black liner, mascara and a neutral lip can quickly transition to night by swapping out your lip gloss for a more saturated tone. You also can’t go wrong with natural eyes and cheeks. A little well-placed highlighter and bronzer ensures all the right parts of your features pop—no matter the setting. Lots of lashes are one thing that won’t raise eyebrows at the office, so play up your lashes with multiple coats of volumizing and lengthening mascara or rather add up false lashes to make eyes subtly stand out all day and night long. Add drama to eyes with a swipe of liner. Pencil generally works better than liquid for on-the-go application since you can get away with smudging out an imperfect line. Line both top and bottom lashes, making the line a bit thicker at the outer corners.
2. Use your morning makeup routine as a base for night.
The most important factor in a successful after-work transformation is setting the stage with a solid base in the morning that you can build on later. Use a primer under your foundation to make sure that the colour holds true. Look for a formula with a mattifying effect to keep shine at bay throughout the day. Think about the eye look you want to create later. Starting with a simple taupe or neutral shadow gives you lots of room to play with adding more drama or smoking it out for night time.
3 Add a little ‘oomph’ to get ready for the party.
One of the easiest and fastest ways to take your look from MIMI ONALAJA day to night is to apply a lip colour that is a few shades darker than your natural lip colour. A classic red adds instant glamour, or you can opt for one of this season’s popular hues. As for your complexion, skin tends to get ruddy as circulation picks up and the day goes on. You probably won’t need to add a lot more colour, but you can bring out cheekbones and create a gorgeous party-ready glow by dusting a highlighter just above your cheekbones.
