Special occasion makeup tips

When it comes to transforming from day to evening makeup many people do not have time to start over so here are some tips on Special occasion makeup that will be a bit quicker.

As light is often softer in the evening than the daytime, your makeup can be a bit more dramatic.

• Start by touching up any concealer and foundation as needed, to even skin tone and cover any blemishes.
• Use a brighter blusher than you have done for daytime.
• Use some bronzer on your neck and chest if these are on show to give a nice glow.
• Apply a bit of shimmer to either your lips, eyes or cheeks but not all of these areas at the same time as this will give you an overdone look, so just choose one area to concentrate on.
• To add more drama to your evening look, use a darker shade of lip colour or a sheer shade if your going for darker eye makeup.
• If your not going for the darker lip colour then try a more dramatic eye colour instead but do not use both at the same time as again this will be overload.  A smoky eye is great for the evening.
• If you do decide to go for dramatic lips over eyes then maybe try red lips with pink cheeks and keep the eye makeup to a minimum.
• You could try pairing shimmery bronzed cheeks with smoky brown eyes and copper lips, adding shimmer to either the lips or eyes.
• Another fun look to try is using bright pink or orange on your lips with a pale pink or apricot blush and soft eye makeup, finish this look with black mascara or even add some false lashes.

So you don't always need to start over when applying your Special occasion makeup, just use these handy tips.
