Beauty Masterclass: 5 tips to take your daytime make-up look from desk to drinks

Take your make-up look from day to night with these surprisingly simple beauty tips.

Your understated daytime make-up may be spot-on for the office, but a bolder look is called for to help your features stand out at night. If you’re going directly from work to an evening event, use these clever beauty tweaks that will really make an impact.

1. Start off with a hydrating face mist

A rejuvenating and hydrating face mist will breathe new life into a tired, end-of-the-day complexion. Look out for formulas containing ingredients that energise your skin and give it an attractive glow.

2. Dust cheekbones with a highlighter

Highlighter acts like an espresso shot for your skin, perking it up in a flash. Apply it to the highest points of your cheekbones in a ‘C’ shape to add a glamorous touch to your overall look.

3. Try a metallic eye shadow

Swipe a layer of metallic eye shadow onto your lids for a striking, shimmering effect. We love this deep golden-bronzed hue, as it adds major definition, making eyes pop beautifully.

4. Apply mascara to your top lashes

Never underestimate the power of mascara to enhance your eyes. Coating your lashes with an extra layer or two will add fullness and drama in minutes. Use formulas with bigger wands for maximum volume and curl.

5. Complete the look with bold lipstick

The finishing touch is also the one that adds the most impact – a slick of bright lipstick. Opt for a matte formula with staying power for colour that lasts all night.
