By simply adding black eye shadow, you can transform any daytime look to an evening one.

One of the best time savers when it comes to getting ready to go out for the evening is transforming your daytime makeup into a glamourous, evening look.

While some people make a whole event of getting ready for a night out, there are a bunch of tips and tricks to quickly switch over your look you were wearing during the day, to something you can wear in the evening.

One of the easiest ways to transform your look is by altering your eye makeup. If you are already wearing black eyeliner, take some black eye shadow and start to “smoke out” your liner. Then continue to blend out the black eye shadow to the outer corner of your eye and into your daytime shadows. This will instantly create a smokey eye, perfect for going out.

If you don’t like to wear a lot of eye shadow during the day, you can transform your eye makeup by applying a pair of false lashes and darkening up your eyeliner. This will immediately create a simple yet sultry look, appropriate for a night out.

For those who like to have a higher coverage foundation when going out but only wear a light foundation during the day, there are ways to increase the coverage. Cushion foundations are the absolute best for this as they are buildable and are lightweight. Simply start to dab on the cushion foundations to the center of the face and blend outwards. You can keep layering until you reach your desired coverage, then set your foundation with a loose, translucent powder.

If you are happy with how your foundation looks during the day, you can add some depth and dimension to make it suitable for an evening out. Refresh your foundation by misting some setting spray or priming water to your face. Smashbox makes for an excellent choice. Then you can apply some powder contour, blush, bronzer and highlight to make a flawless complexion within a matter of minutes.

The last thing to alter in your makeup would be your lips. While this is much easier to just take off your current lip colour and apply a new one, there are ways to alter the colour without any removal process. Take a complimentary (darker) lip liner colour, and apply to the outer corner of your lips and blend both sides inwards. This will create a beautiful ombre effect. An easier alternative would be to take a dark coloured lip gloss and apply on top of your day lip colour.

If time is not something you have excess of, these tips and tricks will help save you tons of time while turning your day time look into a perfect evening look. All it could take is adding one product and you will have a sultry makeup suitable for a night out.
