How To Transition a Day To Night Outfit

Transitioning a day to night outfit can save you some time!

Some of the best things in life come from last-minute plans! That includes "happy hour" with your co-workers, a last-minute girls' night, or an unexpected date! In today’s day in age, everyone is busy with a million things, always on-the-go, and that’s why it’s so important to be prepared so you can fully take advantage of those exciting nights out with a day to night outfit!

Makeup

The quickest way to take your look from day to night is through makeup. Simply dramatizing and adding to your daytime look will help you feel fresh and ready to take on the night.

Start by freshening up your skin. Use blotting paper to soak up any excess oil on your skin that you may have accumulated from the day, and then apply a thin layer of your favorite powder to mattify and create a base. Next, top-up on your contour, blush, bronzer, and highlight.

The most obvious way to transform your beauty look from day to night is to accentuate your eyes or lips. Apply a couple of extra coats of mascara for more dramatic lashes and/or add some darker eyeshadow to create a smokey eye. If you’re in a pinch, the quickest and most convenient way to really amp up your look is to always have a bold lipstick on hand! A quick application of your favorite bright red lipstick will have you ready in seconds for a last-minute event.

Outfit

The key to creating the perfect nighttime outfit from your daytime attire is all in the accessories. Switch out your regular shoes for your favorite pair of heels, take your favorite bold bag for a night out on the town, and throwing on a leather jacket is always a good idea.

Other accessories that can really amp up your daytime look are jewelry and hair accessories, all of which can be added to your look in no time at all. If you're prepared with a few of these items ahead of time, switching from a day to night outfit look can be effortless.
