Date Night Makeup


Slay of the Day- Date Night makeup
If you are getting ready for a night on the town this is where you can pull off a dramatic look. Moving away from the neutral tones of day time makeup up, night wear is all about shimmery or smokey eyes to sultry lips, the overall smoldering look. Lash extensions or strips can be used for added flare as well as bronzed contouring.

The Basics

Of course we need to start with the basics of face prepping. Always cleanse before makeup application to clear the face of dead skin cells, dirt and build up, and follow with toner, moisturizer and face primer. For those persons with dry skin try using a toner without alcohol like Clarins Extra Comfort Toning lotion or Mario Badescu’s Aloe Vera Toner to avoid over drying, tightness or redness of skin. And as you know this step gives you flawless application of your foundation.



Foundation to Finish

After you’ve prepped your other steps are to apply your foundation, concealer and set with powder. For tips on these steps check out my previous blog on Day Time makeup.

All about the eyes

As the saying goes ‘the eyes are the windows to the soul’ and for me night time looks are all about the eyes. Whether it be shimmery, glittered, smokey, cut crease or winged, the sky is the limit to this dramatic look, with winged eyeliner and voluminous lash strips to make your eyes pop! Here are a few sultry eyes you can try out for date night.




Luscious Lips

A smoked out or glittered eyes requires a neutral colour lip, unless it’s the reverse where you have ‘hello boy’ lips you go with nude tones on your eyes.


Now you’re ready for clubbing with the girls or a dinner date with bae!

Choosing the Right Concealer

Slay of the Day- Choosing the Right Concealer Using the right concealer can give you a beautifully flawless look when applying your makeup. If the correct one is chosen it can cover blemishes, conceal dark circles or spots, or give the look of evenly toned skin. The wrong one can been seen through your foundation and attract attention to your problem areas, show up your blemishes, or show up as a white cast around your eyes. You need to find one that's best for your skin type. For dry skin it is not wise to use a liquid concealer that leaves you with a matte finish, instead try a stick concealer which is usually creamy and pigmented, which can be dotted on the area to be covered or swiped on. After which you blend it with your beauty blender or concealer brush. Coverage ranges from medium to full. For oily skin try a liquid concealer that leaves a matte finish. This type of concealer is great as you can build up on the desired coverage you want from light to full...

Weird Makeup Trends For every great makeup trend created there's a weird, crazy one to match, not all are a hit. Here are some weird makeup trends that had me wondering if the creators were on some sort of substance. The Braided Brow As I mentioned in my post on brows I love seeing perfect brows, so imagine my astonishment at seeing these brow trends. As much as it looks perfectly sculpted and you have to be really talented to get it to look like a braid, it is beyond my comprehension why someone would want to rock braided brows. The Feathered Brow If the braided brow wasn't bad they came up with the feathered brow. Like why, are you going to fly away? The Squiggly Brow Then they thought of the squiggly or wavy eyebrow.  The Squiggly Lips To match the squiggly brows the squiggly lips were created that had me screaming whyyyyyyy??? Nose Hairs Who would purposely want hair sticking out of their nose, especially and female??? ...

Deciding on your makeup look can be a task, especially when the options are endless, and you want to look your best. It can even more challenging if you decide to tackle the look yourself. Today I will take you through some steps to achieve this grad glam. Apply an eye shadow primer or concealer and let it dry. Next apply a neutral base eye shadow all over your eyelid  Taking your blending brush, touch the tip  into a matte, dark brow eye shadow and apply it to the outer corner of the eye in a “V” shape and blend into the crease.
