Here's a look that does double duty. It's a great change-up to your daily look, and transitions beautifully into evening. It works no matter what your coloring. Try it next time you have a special evening planned directly after work or school.

FACE |
|
|
| Foundation /
Concealer
|
After moisturizing, use a matte foundation in a shade as close to your natural skin tone as possible and apply to any areas of the face that need evening out. Blend well.
Then, apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes and underneath to cover dark circles. Apply a small amount of concealer to the eyelid as a shadow base.
|
| Blush |
Use a powder formula blush in a delicate pink, or peach depending upon which compliments your skin tone better. You should apply your blush in the style that best suits your face. Round faces look better with blush applied to the apple of the cheek, while narrower faces can take blush on the cheekbone. Apply blush one light layer at a time, blending well, until you just have a slight glow.
Dust your entire face at this stage with a matte pressed powder in a shade that matches your foundation. Use a puff or sponge to press the powder into the upper and lower eyelids. This will do wonders for preventing eyeliner and shadow slippage over the course of an evening of dancing, laughing, kissing, etc. |
| EYES |
|
|
| Eyelid |
Apply a matte beige or cream shade on the entire lid, all the way from lashline to brow. |
| Crease |
Apply a matte tan or khaki shadow in the crease from corner to corner. Blend very well.
|
| Hilite |
Apply a light layer of matte cream or ivory shadow just below the brow, from underneath the arch to the outer corner. |
| Eyeliner |
This look uses no eye liner. But if you feel your eyes disappear without some definition, try lining your eyes with an angled brush using the eye shadow shade you used for the crease of the eye. Line very close to the lashes and apply just enough to make your eyes pop a little.
|
Brows |
Use a brow pencil or powder to shape and fill in brows. Start by defining the arch and then fill in the rest as necessary.
|
Lashes |
Curl lashes and coat two or three times with a black, thickening mascara.
For evening, you might want to apply some individual false lashes to add more drama and more closely replicate the look shown here. If you haven't used false lashes before, be sure to practice ahead of time when you're not due to head out the door. Individual false lashes are most easily applied using tweezers.
|
LIPS |
|
|
|
To get glass-smooth lips, brush them very gently with an old, soft toothbrush. Then apply petroleum jelly and allow it to soak in for 30 or more minutes. You can do this first and let it sit while you apply the rest of your makeup.
Choose a lipstick in a rich shade that works with your skin tone, like wine, garnet, plum--any shade that is medium in hue (not too dark, not too light) and pigment-rich. Look for names with fruit, wine or jewel-inspired titles. Apply one coat of the lipstick and blot with tissue, then apply a second coat, blot again, and apply one more coat for lasting power.
If you line your lips, line them now with a matching liner.
For extra staying power, you can gently blot the skin around your lips with pressed powder, using a cosmetic sponge.
