Day vs Evening look

Lighting is the decisive factor that distinguishes between day and evening makeup. If you want to bring out the best features, you should pay close attention to different lighting environments. A simple rule in deciding the right makeup is the more light you are exposed to, the less makeup you should wear. If you are exposed to bright lights like outdoors in the day, you should opt for subtle makeup while events in the evening call for a little more jazz!
Although you make use of the same makeup items for day and evening makeup, the color and intensity of the look makes all the difference. Depending on the lighting, different makeup colors can lend a unique texture and tint to your skin, making it imperative for you to make the right choice.

• What constitutes Day Makeup?

Needless to say, day time is the brightest part of the day with ample sunlight adding a golden sparkle to all environments. During the day, it is best to stick to subtle and natural makeup. As the bright sunlight is already highlighting the features of your face, your makeup should do little in exaggerating the same features. Day makeup is most commonly worn to the workplace or when carrying out everyday tasks. Neutral shades best define day makeup as they enhance your features without overdoing the overall look.
Neutral makeup helps define your facial features and you can use it to draw attention to specific parts by adding a bit of bold color. Day makeup is essentially balanced and subtle, bringing a light glow to your face.
Stick to browns and grays and add a light touch of blush and mascara to enhance your features. If you are planning on wearing eye makeup, a light touch of black eyeliner with a subtle lipstick or lip gloss completes your day look. It is important to stay away from using prominent makeup like thick eyeliners as natural sunlight and fluorescent lights can make your eyes look artificial and unnecessarily thick. While the choice of makeup is unique to your tastes, it is always a good idea to avoid exaggerating it or looking overdressed.

• What is Evening Makeup?

Unlike day time, evenings are comparatively dimmer, relying mainly on artificial lighting. Owing to the lack of bright light to enhance your features, you makeup needs to be a little more dramatic and glamorous. If you are attending a party at a dimly lit venue, bold makeup is the way to go. If you are waiting to try out a new brand or color of makeup, then is the best time to experiment. To master evening makeup, you should zero in on your best features and highlight them with bold colors. To shine the spotlight on your eyes, use more mascara and eyeliner. You can even use kohl to make your eyes appear sultry and seductive. If lips are your best feature, don’t be afraid to accentuate them with bold colors.
