DailyBuzz Style 9x9: Day to Night Look

So I’ve been selected for this month’s Dailybuzz Style 9x9 challenge! The challenge is to create an easy and simple day to night look. I have the perfect eyeshadow palette for this, and the perfect color scheme — lilac. I’ve been so inspired by lilacs and lavenders. For my daytime look, I wanted to add some color to the face to give it some life — otherwise, I’ll look sleepy.

To start, I prepped my face. This means putting on my foundation, eyeshadow primer and lip conditioner. I used…

• Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden
• Lioele Triple the Solution BB Cream
• Jouer Lip Enhancer

I swear by these products! They are easy to fit in your makeup bag for touchups and pack a punch. If your lips are chapped or dry, put some of the Jouer lip conditioner on and when you are ready for your lipstick, your lips will feel super SOFT.

Now to add some pretty color to the eyes! Purple tones really complement brown eyes. I am using the Wet n Wild Color Icon in Petal Pusher. I love how versatile this product is. You can go from natural to dramatic in minutes. First I highlight my browbone to define the arch and brush on the eyeshadow all over.

Now for the mascara and blush. For the mascara, I am using M.A.C.’s Haute and Naughty, which is great for situations like this. It splits into two wands — one for basic application and one for a more dramatic look. Use the pink side for day and the purple glittery side for nighttime drama. The blush below is my everyday favorite. It is just the right amount of pink for my skintone to make it look rosy. I am using Sue Devitt Silky Blush in Vanuatu.

My favorite part is lipstick! I opted for a cheerful pink color that isn’t overbearing. I am using Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Pink (6).

So when your day is done, and it’s time to let loose. Simply add drama to the eyes and it makes the world of a difference! First, I defined my eyes with my Youngblood Gel Liner in Black Orchid. I’m keeping all my eye makeup in the purple to lavender category. Taking the same palette as earlier, shade in the crease area with the darker purple shadow on really make your eyes pop. If you want, you can shade in your eyebrow to frame your face better. Don’t forget to line your bottom lash line!

There you have it! A flirty day look that can be easier transformed into a sexy night look using the same palette and some of your regular makeup.
