College is nonstop, and it’s not uncommon to spend a long day on campus only to have to quickly transition to night out with friends. While altering your classroom look into something more glamorous for nighttime may seem like a struggle, it’s actually easy as long as you carry a few essentials with you. Read on for three simple steps that will make changing your look effortless.
1. Upgrade your lipstick
It’s time to put the neutral shades away––exciting nights out are when bold lips come out to play! With such a busy calendar, carrying a few staple lipsticks in your purse means you’ll be ready to rally any time. We recommend L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints in shades Violet Twist, Taupeless, or Fearless Fuschia to complete the transition. These high-impact, full-coverage colors can be quickly painted on before a sorority social, last-minute movie date with bae, or your weekly girls’ night out. Use these to add vibrancy to your look for a seamless day-to-night update.
2. Quickly contour
Though you may be tired from a full day of classes and exams, touching up with dramatic, chiseled cheekbones will bring a flush of life to your look. Find a palette that can multitask––meaning one that has your blush, contour and highlight all in one place––to maximize storage space while carrying around makeup, and whip it out when you have to upgrade your look on the go. We love the Glow Nude Highlighter Palette because it quickly awakens and defines complexion. Say hello to night-worthy makeup instantly!
3. Refresh your hair
Take your hair down from that workday ponytail, shake out the stress, and get ready the fun night you deserve. Lively, healthy hair is key for achieving a perky evening look, so spicing up your locks with Colorista 1-Day Spray is essential. The temporary color spray is manageable enough to keep in your school bag, and the vivid color is kind to your hair while still adding huge amounts of glam. Spray on some quick color before you leave campus and feel the boldness set in instantly. Have we mentioned how much we’re obsessed with the rose gold and pastel lavender shades?
With a show-stopping lipstick, versatile contour kit and temporary color spray, making the day-to-night makeup transition just got SO much easier. Good luck with your mini-makeover ladies!
