Hey everyone. As I’ve done some makeup posts and a natural everyday look, I thought I would share you guys my evening go to look. I usually go for the same look when going out, depending on the outfit I’m wearing I will change the eyeshadow, enjoy:)
I will show you the products I use and steps I go by for my go to evening look! its pretty much the same as my all time makeup but obviously I wear more makeup and darker eyeshadow and lipstick! So here goes
Firstly, start with a fresh face. Take off any old makeup and cleanse your face before applying any new makeup, if you apply new makeup and don’t cleanse your face, you are just adding to clogged pores and creating more dirt.
As always, I start off with a primer to set the makeup. I usually use smash box photo finish primer during the day, but at night I mostly wear my more expensive primer; Becca ever matte perfector as I feel this is good for keeping my makeup at bay. When I have it, I also use hourglass oil free makeup which I absolutely love, but because of its price I don’t always buy it, but it is perfect for an evening makeup look.
For my go to evening foundation, I will always use Nars sheer glow foundation. I swear by this foundation, it has the perfect coverage for me whilst providing me with a dewy look but not too dewy. Use this after primer with your favourite makeup brush! Mine Sigma Kabuki F80!
Straight after foundation, I then of course apply my Laura mercier transculent loose setting powder, which is my favourite powder ever! I have not looked back ever since wearing this. I wear translucent, but they offer powders with a coloured pigment too if you prefer more of a colour to your face! This powder keeps my oily T-zone away for my night out!
Following powder, I use my creamy taste concealer. I use this in the day time as well, but I love the consistency of this concealer, hence I always use it. I apply this after powder so it give a more dewy look under my eyes, giving them a brighter effect. But I usually go in with my egg sponge with a little dab of power so my mascara doesn’t smudge under my eyes.
I almost always use Nars bronzing powder in shade laguna with my Mac bronzing brush for evening outs, applying it to the apple of the cheeks until I can see a nice golden glow! I also sometime use Benefit Hoola caramel which I love, you don’t need to much of this on your cheeks to give you a glow! I love this bronzer, but Nars is always a winner for me.
After bronzer, I apply my Becca shimmering skin perfector pressed highlighter to the cheek bones just to create a glow to my cheeks. I have this on in both pictures above. It creates a golden glow, you don’t need to much either so it lasts forever. I love this highlighter. This is my go to evening wear highlighter!
After I have done my primer, foundation, powder, concealer, bronzer and highlighter I have a quick spritz of my Mario Badescu facial spritz, which gives my skin a refresh of aloe vera, chamomile and lavender. This keeps my makeup looking fresh and hydrated whilst applying my makeup.
Next I apply my eyeshadow. For an evening look I always turn to my smokey shadow palette: Urban Decay Naked 2. For a more glamorous look I turn to my Huda Beauty warm brown obsessions palette. The picture at the top on the left I am wearing a smokey look from Naked palette 2. I love urban decay palettes, the eyeshadow stays on all night and the shadow itself has deep pigments. It also offers some glittery shadows with brown. Browns and smokey are my go to for an evening look.
The huda beauty warm obsessions palette has even deeper pigmented shadow pictured on myself on the right. The deep orangey brownies create this look, you can add the cream under the brows for more definition and a touch of glitter round the eyes.
I then move onto mascara after eyeshadow, I use Lauder sumptuous Black Mascara. This mascara gives my lashes full effect, perfect for an evening look.
I do my eyebrows last. I usually have my brows tinted so I don’t have to apply any colour. So I usually just apply a brow gel. The picture on the right at the beginnig have my brows tinted, so I just use the brow gel to shape them into place. I use collection 2000 mascara gel however, as it works the same and it is cheap and leaves the hairs in place all day. On the left, I have been using Anastasia Dipbrow promenade, I apply the brow gel first, brushing where I want the hairs to be placed, then I apply the brown promenade with a brush onto my hand, then dipping the brush into the colour on my hand and gently across my brows.
I then finish off with another spritz to keep the makeup refreshed and hydrated and thats my evening look!
The lipstick colours I am wearing above are Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in ‘Crush’ and Mac liquid lipstick in ‘lady be good’. I love liquid lipstick as I feel they last all night and Mac and Anastasia have the best colours.
