Let's talk about your Day & Nightmakeup look
Lighting is the main factor between the day & night makeup look. Makeup can look different at the daytime and at night time. Day makeup is more about skincare then actual makeup you need your skin to shine naturally in the daylight. If you want a flawless look at the daytime start with a strong skin care regime cleansing, exfoliating, toner, serum, moisturizer, face oils, sunscreen and then you are all good to go for your day makeup look. But the makeup varies according to the occasion. If you are going on a vacation you can go for a lighter look or just even out your skin tone with a concealer to get that perfect natural look. Also, you can use a cheek tint or any light color lipstick to give your cheeks some colour that looks naturally blushed. You can also add a shimmer to your eyes and it will make your eyes pop up and will give a little flamboyance to match your outfit and the whole vibe for the day look. Although the Night/ Party look calls for a professional makeup, for that you can book our Swagmee salon at home services for achieving radiant & breathtaking look.
