PICTURE: PEXELS/ DAY VS NIGHT MAKEUP ROUTINE
One size does not fit all when it comes to makeup, particularly when you’re changing from day to night.
This makes sense because while the goal of day makeup is to keep things natural, light, and fresh, night makeup takes things to the next level with dramatic, bold additions.
It is whether you’re heading out for a night out in town in whichever city you find yourself in, running errands, or working, knowing how to easily change your look depending on the time of day will elevate your beauty game and guarantee that you’re always “insta snap perfect.”
The colours, purpose, and intensity of makeup differ from day to night. Night makeup concentrates on perfect, sculpted skin, while day makeup offers light to medium coverage with a natural or dewy look.
According to Breanna Beauty, “Creating a beautiful daytime makeup look centers around simplicity and the enhancement of natural features using minimal products to achieve a fresh, polished appearance.”
The above beauty source states that items that allow for quick touch-ups and adaptable looks throughout the day, catering to different events and demands, should be included in a basic makeup bag. Essentials like a travel-sized mascara, a compact powder, and a multipurpose palette for the lips and eyes can greatly improve your capacity to keep up your appearance.
FW Beauty highlights that for a more natural-looking appearance during the day, start with a light-textured foundation or BB cream. If you’re more of a minimalist, you can forego foundation in favor of a tinted moisturizer that evens out your complexion while hydrating your face and adding light coverage.
For nighttime, rather use a medium to full-coverage foundation to offer a little extra coverage to your evening appearance. For a perfect finish, use a concealer to mask redness, dark circles, or imperfections. To make sure everything stays in place, don’t forget to set your base with a light-textured setting powder, the above website mentions.
