Day to Dinner Makeup Tips

You will be amazed at what a little bit of makeup can do for your transformation.  By adding only a few items to your purse, you can be ready to go out in just moments.

• Cover up blemishes with a concealer.
• To get rid of the shine from oil, blot your face with toilet paper.
• For a quick, fresh look, apply powder foundation.
• Apply liquid eyeliner in dark blue or black above your eyelashes.  This will create an instant dramatic look.  If you do not like eyeliner, put on some mascara.  You can add both to add depth.  Curl your lashes before applying mascara.
• Add eye shadow for dazzle.  Apply a color that you always use on your lower lid.  Then apply a slightly darker shade in the same color in the crease and far corners of your eyes.  Smudge and finish with a light shade.  Dab it in the center of your lid.  For simpler storage, purchase a palette that has 3 shades of one color.
• After your long day at work or running errands, you may start to look tired.  A quick and easy way to instantly look alive again is to simply dab the lightest shade just under your lower lashes.  The best color to use for this is white.
• Brush on some powder blush for an instant fresh and glamorous look.
• Lip color should compliment your makeup.  If your eyes have more intense color, then use a lighter or nude shade for your lips.  If you have chosen a softer look for your eyes, then you can use a deeper color on your lips. Apply lip gloss for shine.
• If you have a few extra minutes, paint your nails a bolder color, like red or dark blue.  The fastest way to apply a deep color is to apply two thin coats.  Then apply a clear fast drying topcoat.  Never glop on a thick coat thinking it is faster.  This will only lead to disappointing smudges.

The next time you are in a pinch for time and you have to look glamorous in minutes, try the day to dinner makeup tips above.
