Quick Makeup Fixes For Date Night Prep

These date night prep tips will go along way for your skin!

It's usually a given that we all take a little extra time to get ready on a date night. We need the perfect outfit, the perfect hair and of course, the perfect skin. And for most women, the skin goal tends to be radiant, with a just-enough-makeup look.

Some days we run out of precious time and need to get our beauty routine done quickly. For those nights when you have to get ready and look breathtaking in a short amount of time, here are some of our best date night prep tips. 

Tip #1

The top beauty secret that experts won't share with you is that great looking makeup actually starts with an excellent skincare routine. If you don’t have time or inclination to do the Korean 10-step beauty routine every day, we recommend the new GENIUS Collagen Calming Relief by Algenist, a treatment that will help reduce redness in only 10 days.

Tip #2

Use a primer. If you're aiming for smooth-looking makeup, a good primer will be your best friend. We recommend that you try Pure Canvas Primer-Illuminating by Laura Mercier. The product is breathable, protects the skin from the foundation and it’s translucent - perfect to wear by itself with mascara and lipstick for natural, radiant skin.

Tip #3

No time in between work and your date night? We got you! Refresh your skin with Beauty Elixir by Caudalie, the secret beauty product of every celebrity makeup artist. This product sets your makeup and gives radiance to the skin.

Tip #4

If your skin is oily, make a quick stop in the bathroom just before your date and use Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder from Becca. It comes in 2 tones and is the perfect quick solution to oily skin. If you don’t have this makeup product, don’t worry - you can always use a piece of the waxy toilet seat cover to blot oily skin.

Tip #5

Follow any of these date night prep tips or fall back on the tried-and-true:

1 - mascara;

for a light, quick re-touch.
