Wedding Guest Makeup Tutorial

One of my friends is getting married this weekend.  Although this day is going to be filled with plenty of fun and exciting moments, it poses a problem for me: how do I transform my daytime makeup into nighttime makeup without completely redo

ing it all?

I have my typical daytime look, as well as my nighttime look, but I don’t have a good “in between” look that can carry me from day to night.  But, for this wedding, I need a look that will need to do double duty  So, I will attempt to take my daytime makeup to nighttime without adding too much.

To start off,

I used a very light gold shadow over my lid.  For this look, I am using shadows from Lorac’s Bejeweled Eye Shadow Collection.  I am using the Topaz Bronze shades.  I primed my eyelid with NYX’s Eye Shadow Base in Skin Tone.

The top left is the base color used; the bottom left is the highlight color used on the brow bone; the lower right is the color used with the Cream Shaper.

Tutorial: One eyeshadow tutorial featuring MAC Club

Tutorial: One eyeshadow tutorial featuring MAC Club

If you read our most used products of 2011 post, you will know that Club by MAC was my most used eyeshadow.  In fact I’d definitely say it’s in my top three favourite eyeshadows from MAC.  What I love about it is that, because it’s a duo chrome, it looks different depending on the light.  Sometimes it looks green, sometimes it looks a gorgeous reddy brown colour.  It also creates a gorgeously easy smoky eye because it turns a slightly different colour when blended.  If you want to learn a quick and easy way to use Club, keep on reading.
