One makeup look for two different outfits?

Hi y'all, I'm currently having a bit of a dilemma.

So next weekend, my boyfriend and I have two events to attend. One is a football game (our home teams are playing each other, and it's a tradition that we attend and confuse everyone with the fact that we're dating). The other is a party on a yacht.

The problem is that these two events are on the same day. The football game is at 1 pm, and football games normally last 4 hours or so. That means it will be over around 5. The yacht party is at 8.

Normally a 3 hour difference wouldn't be that big of a deal, but the football stadium is far away from where I live (and the traffic trying to get out of said stadium is utter hell, it takes like 45 minutes to get home when all is said and done) and then there's the time to actually get to the yacht.

So, I think that's something like an hour and some of getting ready time, maximum. I know that most people are probably fine with an hour + of getting ready time, but I tend not to be.

Not sure if I'm being crazy here, but oh well.

My question is: is there a possible makeup look that I could wear with both a football jersey and a gold and pink dress? I'll see if I can post a picture of the dress in just a moment. I'd like to not be super neutral or light, but I'm sort of failing to find a look that would work with both outfits. I think they may actually be polar opposites. Oh well. Help please?

You ladies are the best =)

This is the dress I swear it's actually really pretty on and super flattering.

I would keep it natural as possible since the dress is on the statement side:)

Natural makeup is honestly just not me. If I were just wearing this dress, I would probably end up with something brown and smokey, potentially with a pink lower lash line. I just don't know how to do makeup for two outfits without taking off all of my makeup and then reapplying it in different colors. thank you though!

Oh, well now that you say that I think that would work really well:) I can totally understand since sometimes natural is just not enough. Your idea works really well.

Can I ask what are the team colors?

Thank you, but that won't match the first outfit that I have to wear that day, and I don't really have time to take everything off and then put something else on. That's why I'm asking how to make one look work for both outfits! =)

How about a dark smokey eye and nude lips? That goes with a jersey and a pink dress.

Ah okay, my football team is purple =) I'll be wearing a purple jersey, jean shorts and a pair of cowboy boots probably.

I'm probably spazzing for no reason but I never get to dress up so I'm excited.

What if you did a brown smokey Ish eye, with a pop of color on the bottom lash line? You could do one of the teams colors for the game, then pretty quickly wipe off just your lower lash line and switch it up to something that matches the dress. It'd be quicker than doing the whole eye and would just involve blending. And since I know you don't wear much face makeup it won't mess any up :)
