When dashing from a long day in the office to dinner or cocktails, we need simple makeup tricks that can transform our look from worn in to bright and fabulous. To discover how you can take your everyday look to date-night ready, watch this five-step tutorial…
Michael Brown’s five simple steps for desk to date beauty:
- Apply a BB Cream, such as Estée Lauder Double Wear All-Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup, focusing on problem areas such as the lower forehead, nose, and chin.
MB Pro Tip: When you’re uplifting a makeup look, it’s not necessary to redo the entire face. It might look a little bit too overly made up, as you are reapplying over an existing look. - Use a highlighter to add brightness to your look, choosing a shade a little bit lighter than that of your BB. Focus on the centre of the nose, cupid’s bow, chin, and under the eyes were dark circles linger.
- Apply blush to the apple of the cheek, adding a rosy glow to your look without starting your makeup from scratch.
There’s no need to go over the entire blush area, because you already have some on from this morning, just a little bit on the apple is all you’ll need! - Amp up your look with a little gold shadow applied to the centre of your eyelids. This will on-trend shade will brighten your makeup without looking too overdone, and suits all eye colours.
- Finish by applying lipstick, dabbing colour on using the end of your finger rather than applying directly from the stick.
MB Pro Tip: I press it in with my finger because I want the lip to look like it’s been there for all day. I want that lipstick stain that is so on trend at the moment.
