11 Unique Ways on How to Change Up Your Makeup for Different Needs: A Blog About Different Makeup Looks

Makeup is nothing but art.

You draw what you envision on the plain canvas that is your face. And then, you do some touch-ups to suit what you think will take the painting up a notch.

This blog is no painting class aka makeup tutorial. However, it will teach you some pro moves that are sure to take your face painting up a notch.

The purpose of this blog is to explain how one can change their makeup look for different needs. No matter what time of the day it is, we have some tricks up our sleeves to make the makeup ideal for the occasion.

The best part? Even a beginner in makeup can implement these ideas into their routine. The changes aren’t massive that overwhelm you – however, they make a significant difference in the overall look.

So, how about we make some head turn, girls?

Occasion: Brunch With BFFs

If you’re scheduled to meet your girls for breakfast, lunch, or brunch – there is no reason you should shy away from some trendy makeup looks! After all, who can compliment us better than our girlfriends, no?

Makeup Looks:

1. Radiant Skin

Nothing compliments the mid-day sun more than healthy-looking, radiant skin!

When you plan on a day outing or dining, keep your base makeup as light and breathable as you can. Hydrated and dewy skin should be the end goal.

To achieve that, apply a tinted moisturizer for a light layer of coverage, and spot-conceal with a concealer where need be. Douse your skin with a makeup mist before you apply powder products, and in the end, after you are done with the makeup.

Pro-tip: Apply an illuminating primer to fake the ‘glow-from-within’ highlight.

2. Nude or Bright Lips

Flaunt your natural pout by enhancing them with a nude or bright lip color – whichever you prefer more.

Both these colors elevate the look beautifully. Nude lip color will make you look subtle yet chic. In contrast, the bright color is more apt for a fun-loving and cheerful personality.

3. Pop of Color

Here comes the highlight of a daytime look – the pop of color on the eyes!

Applying a bright color like pink, blue, purple, red, yellow, etc on the eye instantly transforms the whole look. It makes you look confident with an artistic edge.

There are many ways to incorporate a bright color into your eye makeup. Some of them include:

• Graphic eyeliner
• Inner corner highlight
• Monotone shadow all over the lid
• Colored Mascaras

Occasion: Dinner Date

Intimate moments with your loved ones turn all the more special when you put effort into them. The effort to dress up, spritz his favourite cologne, and look cute for him. Of course, that isn’t the benchmark, but it sure makes a positive impression.

However, we believe less is more in the reign of makeup for dinner dates. Therefore, we have compiled some tips that will enhance your natural beauty in no time!

4. Individual Lashes

The eyes are the most beautiful feature of your face. To make them even prettier and more expressive, we’ve got just the right trick for you.

Ditch the traditional false eyelashes if you don’t wish to look overdressed.

For a beautiful, natural doll-eye effect, apply individual lashes on the outer corner of your eyes.

5. Blush the Apples

For a younger and youthful look, apply a soft rosy-pink blusher only on the apples of your cheeks. This will grab attention towards the centre of your face. It will also keep all eyes (read: his eyes) stuck onto you!

6. Soft Brown Eyes

Another chic way to enhance your eyes is to use brown eyeliner. Let me describe how.

Apply a brown eye pencil close to the lash line, and then smudge it with a brush. Use the same technique to create a wing if you wish to. You may keep the lids bare, or you can apply a lighter shade of brown all over the lids for more depth.

Finish off the look with a generous coat of mascara on curled lashes (that is if you haven’t applied the individual lashes.)

7. Lip Gloss

Lip gloss, paired with the blush technique above, is a deadly combination. Try it for yourself.

First, line and fill your lips with the color of your choice. Then top it off with a clear or light-colored gloss to create the most beautiful pout. This technique ensures both longevity and adorability.

Occasion: Night Out

Night-outs are all about fun and adventure. The same shall be depicted in your makeup too!

Be bold and go all out with some of these fun ways to amp up your whole look.

8. Glittery Eyes

Whatever eye look you have in mind for the night, make sure you end it with a magical sprinkle of glitter. Glittery eyes look extra glam at night, and there’s no reason you should shy away from this experience.

9. Smokey eyes

Alternatively, go for a smokey-eye look if you don’t care for glitters.

Now, by smokey eyes, we do not mean the traditional black eye makeup. The beauty world has evolved into smokey eyes of all colors – black, brown, purple, pink, blue, and whatnot. Use the color you feel comfortable in.

The whole idea is to intensify the look by packing on the color on the outer edge of your eye while keeping the inner corner highlighted with the shimmer of the same color family.

10. Bold Lips

You bet we’re going all-in at night-outs.

You may skip on extravagant eye looks on a night out, but do not sleep on a bold lip. It immediately boosts your whole persona. Perhaps, a classy red lip at the end of the week is the answer to all your self-inflicted doubts.

11. Holographic Highlighter

A holographic highlighter looks super cool in dim lights with its duo-chrome reflectivity. But no worries if you do not own one, a regular highlight looks equally juicy on the skin!
