Do you have any suggestions on how to take your day makeup into night?

The best way to transform day makeup into night makeup is to dramatise either the lips or the eyes.
 
Lips
Red is always a great colour to spruce up any day time look. If you are feeling daring, try a dark plum for a dramatic look, or bright pink for a fun girly look.
  1. Lightly dab a small amount of concealer around the lip line so you can give them shape more easily.
  2. Fill your lips in with a lip liner that is similar to the lip shade you wish to apply.
  3. Apply a thin layer of lipstick on top of this.
  4. Avoid applying gloss. For a dramatic night time lip, it is better to stick to matte and velvety textures.
 
Eyes
Smokey eyes are a great look for the evening time, and an easy way to dress up any day time look.
  1. Following the colour palette of your day time eye make-up, choose a darker colour and blend it into your existing eye makeup starting at the outer corner of your eye.
  2. Line your eyes with a black pencil eye liner or, for a more intense look, opt for liquid liner.
  3. Apply two coats of black mascara on both upper and lower lashes to finish the look.
