How to Take Your Makeup from Work to Play

You may be dressed for business, but your makeup can speak another language once you leave the office. All you will need are 5 things, in 3 easy steps, to transform your day look into a night on the town. If you always keep these in your makeup bag, you will be ready at a moment’s notice to touch-up and go meet the girls for a cocktail, or your honey for dinner.

1. A gray or dark purple eyeliner (looks great on everyone)

2. 2 Q-tips (to smudge liner on top and clean up on bottom)

3. Lip liner in a shade darker than your natural bare lip color

4. Lip gloss

5. Blotting sheets (oil absorbing papers)

STEP 1: Line your upper lids with eyeliner and use a Q-tip to smudge and soften the line for a sultry smokey look. Clean up any transfer or mascara flakes on the bottom with 2nd Q-Tip.

STEP 2: Line and fill in your lips with the lip pencil and apply gloss liberally.

STEP 3: Use the blotting sheets to absorb any oil you accumulated throughout the day.
