Beauty Hacks For Quick Day-To-Night Transformations
Luckily, we’ve got you covered. From tips on how to quickly refresh your makeup, to the best products to use (that are also easy to carry), here's a quick guide on how to take your daytime look to an evening one.
Step 1: Refresh your Complexion
This a good time to touch up your base with some concealer or a foundation, and finish it with a setting powder. If your makeup has a tendency to disappear as the day goes on, an all-in-one palette like the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked - Lotus Flower, £90.00 is idea. Easy to transport with you, it allows you to redo your blusher, bronzer and highlighter without numerous (and cumbersome) products.
Finish off the look with a setting spray and you’ve taken your makeup from day-to-night in minutes. One of our all-time favourites is the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, £20.00 which guarantees your makeup will last all night and you don’t have to worry about touch-ups.
Step 2: Eyes
We know that eye makeup isn't for everyone, but we love that there are now products that are easy-to-use that can really transform your makeup look, and can make it as natural or dramatic as you’d like. Eyeshadow sticks like Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Matte, £28.00 are some of best products to have on hand as they can quickly add some colour and shimmer to your eye look - you don't even need a mirror to apply them. We recommend going for formulas that are creamy as they glide across your eyelids easily and comfortably. To finish it off, add a coat (or two) of your favourite mascara - the new Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-eyes Volume Mascara, £16.00 is our latest must-have for the dreamiest lashes.
Step 3: Lips
When it comes it taking your makeup from day to night, your lips and the lip colour you choose are the star of the show. Start off with a lip balm like Glossier Balm Dotcom Lip Balm, £16.00 to make sure your lips are as hydrated and smooth as can be. And then choose the lip combo that makes you feel your best and most confident - we always like to start with a lip liner like Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner, £21.00 to define the shape and follow up with your favourite lipstick. We’ve been loving the texture of Lisa Eldridge Lucent Lip Colour (MUK200048921) and if you like a shiny finish, you can take it a step further with a lip oil or gloss, like the Glossier Glassy High-Shine Lip Gloss, £18.00.
Step 4: Hair
If your hair is in need of a little refresh, we love to spritz a little bit of dry shampoo or use the Hair by Sam McKnight Lazy Girl Biodegradable Hair Cleanse Cloths, £17.00. It’s great to remove any excess oil and to give your hair a little zhuzh after a long day, bringing it back to life. Finish off with a few drops of your favourite hair oil to give a shiny finish and get rid of flyaways and you’re all good to go.
Step 5: Don't forget your perfume
There's something about about spraying your favourite perfume that immediately boosts your mood, and we think it's the perfect finishing touch before you head out. Whether you like a musky or a gourmand smell, it will immediately make you feel 'put together' and ready for mingling. And, if you're looking for a new signature scent this season, why not opt for something peppery like Glossier You Eau de Parfum, £32.00 or we've been also been loving cosy scents like Maison Margiela By The Fireplace Eau de Toilette, £62.00 that are warm and comforting.
