Date Night Makeup Ideas
Published Jul 6, 2011

Choosing an outfit to wear for a night out can prove difficult enough, but working out how to do your makeup? Well that can be even harder. With so many different options out there it can be hard to find inspiration or decide what is appropriate for the occasion. We've put together 3 fail-safe options to save you from those "I don't know what to wear!" moments.
1 Dancing Queen
Go all out and make an impact with sparkly silver eyeshadow and matching silver nail polish for a night out at a club. Avoid makeup meltdown with a matte foundation and a non-sticky nude gloss. Nothing else will sparkle on the dancefloor quite like you.

2 Romantic Dinner Date
A romantic dinner with a new beau (or an existing one!) calls for a look that makes you feel your most beautiful and confident, with just a touch of seduction. A traditional smoky eye is our recommendation, with a thin sweep of eyeliner on the lower lashes and plenty of mascara. Keep it simple a hint of blush on your cheeks and a soft pink or nude lipstick. Choose soft and subtle colors so that you look your best in candlelight.

3 Movie Night!
An evening at the cinema calls for natural look that seems like you haven't even tried. Dewy skin, a light sweep of blush on the apples of your cheeks and a sheer pink lip gloss are all you need to look pretty and fresh. To define your eyes (without looking like you're wearing obvious eye makeup) add a soft brown eyeshadow, blending well into the crease.
