How do you transform a makeup look from light to bold?
There are many ways to go from light to bold, and you can do just one—or all of them!
The simplest way to go from day to night, or from light to bold, is to add another layer of mascara on top of what you’re already wearing; it will instantly give you a completely different look. Get lift by curling your lashes and adding the mascara mainly to the top lashes.
The second easy way to transform your makeup look is to add a dark colour to your day makeup. That could be an eyeshadow, liquid eyeshadow, or a pencil liner. Add the dark colour to the roots of your eyelashes, then smudge it with your fingers, and you can easily have a smoky eye look in 20 seconds. And if you’re already wearing eyeshadow, you can layer on more. That will give you drama!
Another tip is to take a metallic eye colour and put it in the centre of the eyelid or on the inside corner of the eye. This will give you an instant metallic evening look.
One of my last tips is to use a bright or glittery colour to your eye look. Adding a touch on the inner corner of the eye or the browbone will give you immediate contrast for a beautiful, bold eye look.
