Quickie Day-to-Evening Transformation

Hey all!  Just thought I'd show you how I to do a 5-minute, quickie day-to-evening makeup transformation.  Nothing too dramatic, I figured it's something that every girl should learn in case an impromptu after school or after work event pops up.  Case in point, hubby called me on his way home from work last night and asked me to attend a friend's deejaying gig at a chic hotel and lounge in San Francisco.  I was busy running errands at the moment and would only have minutes from the time I got back to our apartment to freshen up before going out.  I decided to keep things simple, yet sparkly and shimmery.  Here's what I came up with on the fly:

Before and after.

I have to be in class no later than 8:30 am on the weekdays and my university is about a 30-45 minute drive depending on traffic.  So lately, I've only been doing brows, cheeks, eyeliner, and tinted balm.  There's really no time for much else unless I want to wake up at 5:00 am and, trust me, I'm not a morning person AT ALL!  To spruce up, I focused mostly on my eyes:

Before: simple winged eyeliner

I re-defined my eyeliner, applied Sephora Glitter eyeliner in Gold along my winged line, applied mascara, added my Daiso glitter eyelashes, and highlighted my brow arch with Josie Maran Argan Illuminator.  Small changes, big difference!

After: glitter, eyelashes, shimmery brow arch highlight

I also touched up the color on my cheeks by applying ELF Studio Blush in Twinkle Pink (a nice peachy-pink with golden micro-glitter particles, a comparable dupe for NARS Super Orgasm) and slicked some Stila Lip Glaze in Vanilla on my lips to complete my all over golden glittery glow.

Slip on some jewelry and a cute outfit and I'm ready to go!  Unfortunately, we didn't quite make it to the party.  Husband decided he was too tired when he got home so we had a quiet, casual dinner date at a local italian restaurant instead.  Oh well, lol!  I hope he enjoyed gazing at my glittery face across the table while eating.

Anyways, hope you all enjoyed this post and found it useful.  Have a great night! :D

Hugs,
