When you’re heading out for a night of partying at the best hip hop clubs in San Diego, you want your look to reflect how you feel—confident, gorgeous, and ready to show off your swagger on the dance floor. You’ve been waiting all week for the chance to rock that cute new outfit, and you need to finish off your look with the perfect makeup. If your situation needs a little inspiration, take your makeup routine to the next level with these tips.
If you’re not in the mood to deal with the hassle of putting on false lashes, give your own lashes some lusciousness that will last throughout the night and into the wee hours. It’ll be worth it to spend a little extra for high-quality mascara that’s both volumizing and waterproof. Holding the brush horizontally, start at the base of your lashes, apply a small amount of the mascara (you don’t want clumping), and sweep the brush upward with a smooth, gentle motion. If you want to add even more volume to your lashes, hold the brush vertically and make another gentle swipe.
Add a bit of shimmer to your usual smoky eye by using gold eyeshadow instead of the same old gray and black palette you’re used to. Gold will pop like crazy if you’re wearing a dark color, especially your go-to little black dress.
Start by creating the smoky effect. Use black eyeliner to accent your upper lash line, and give it a gentle smudge. Use the tip of a small sponge to spread the line up toward the crease of your eyelid to make the effect more subtle.
Now it’s time to glam it up with gold by following these simple steps:
If you want a darker look, use a brush that’s a little bit stiffer to apply several layers of color to your lids. For a more intense pop of color, wet the shadow before you apply it. A fluffier brush will create a more sheer look, and if you’re going for an extra dose of drama, use a champagne color in the inside corners of your eyes and a bronze shade in the crease. Blend all the colors with a soft brush to erase any lines, and you’re ready to go!
Try ditching your everyday foundation for the evening and use one with a shiny texture for an extra bit of glow. Apply it with a circular motion, and take the time to smooth it out by buffing it carefully. The major thing to remember with any type of foundation is to blend it in well. You can do this with a sponge, your fingers, or a stippling brush, which keeps you from putting on too much. Don’t forget to include your neck when you blend the foundation, since your face is usually darker than your neck, and you want to avoid any lines that are noticeable.
Red never goes out of style, but if you’re up for trying something a little more fun on your lips, shake things up and get out of your comfort zone with a beautiful burgundy, an audacious orange, a popping peach, or a fiery fuchsia. Outline your lips with the applicator and then fill in the color to create a luscious look that’s irresistibly kissable!
