<\/p>\nVery recently, chat buddy from over the oceans LeGeeque asked if I had any tips for day to night makeup, because she had an evening event to go to after work. My answer to her then was imbecilic at best because I don’t usually do these day to night transitions \ud83d\ude1b I think I might have mentioned touching up the base, making the eye colour stronger and perhaps a bright lipstick, because that’s how I’d have done it. Actually I’d have only changed my lipstick to something brighter \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not long after that, I received some tips for day to night makeup from Lisa Yap, Chief Makeup Artist at Shu Uemura Malaysia so I thought it a good time to share it, so hopefully it helps someone else too \ud83d\ude00 If its not obvious, the eye on your left sports darker night\/evening makeup while the one on your right sports a lighter day look.<\/p>\n
Here are some quick tips you can take away and practice with \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Shu Uemura Colour Atelier Urban Chic eyeshadow palette : ME996 (charcoal black), ME471 (metallic grey-green), ME935 (metallic silver), ME 906 (metallic white)<\/em><\/p>\n The products used here are from Shu Uemura but you can easily modify with whatever you have at your disposal. What you need for the eyes is a palette with a good combination of light and dark shades. The palette featured here is a grey-black palette to create an Urban Chic eye look, as Shu Uemura calls it.<\/p>\n You do not need a gradational palette, but gradational colours help because they are easier to transition from day to night, and they are also easier to work with from my personal experience. I’ll premise the tips based on the palette above but you can transpose it onto any palette you currently own. I have tried it myself at home, and it works very nicely with almost any palette on hand \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n For the day, the colours used were the light ME935 and medium ME471 shades.<\/p>\n It was surprisingly quick. Brows, a light peach-pink blush and a rosy pink lipstick completed the look.<\/p>\n To transition the day look to the evening or night, you whip out the same palette and this time, concentrate on the medium ME471 and dark ME996 shades. You don’t have to clean off your earlier makeup. Treat it as your base \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n As you’re working on a base colour already, some color from the day will naturally be blended in. It does create a complex sort of look that isn’t displeasing really.<\/p>\n Finish off by touching up your blush and applying a deeper shade of lip colour.<\/p>\n And here’s one we made earlier \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n The left is the first day look, which you can see is light with defined yet not overly strong eyes. A bright rosy pink lipstick brightens up the complexion as does a light peach-pink blush. A perfect little “off to the office” sort of look.<\/p>\n The picture on the right is after the day look was transitioned to night. The eyes are darker and more defined and the lip colour is a deeper berry shade. The cheeks had been touched up but aren’t bright so you don’t have eyes, lips and cheeks clashing with each other.<\/p>\n Shu Uemura – Passport to Beauty<\/strong><\/p>\n Incidentally, if all this totally confused you, you might be pleased to know that you can actually make an appointment with a Shu Uemura makeup artist to teach you just what I taught you here! No purchase necessary, although you do have to call up the counter or store for an appointment first. If you’ve always wanted to learn some aspect of makeup – how to apply foundation, how to do a smokey eye, where do you apply blush – now you can and I do think its a very useful service indeed \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And finally, some pictures of the Color Atelier eyeshadows which have been recently reformulated by Shu Uemura.<\/p>\n They now come in smaller pans and do not need to be glued into the palettes as the palettes now employ a slide-in mechanism. Each long slim palette (RM50) fits 4 eyeshadows or 2 eyeshadows and 1 blush or 2 blushes so you can mix and match to your hearts content.<\/p>\n I hope you found the tips useful \ud83d\ude42 This was my first time checking out the new Color Atelier eyeshadows properly. They do feel quite different from the previous formula and for someone who still has the formula from 2 reformulations ago, I will say its even more different from that one. The one plus point I can pick out is that I’m not allergic to this new formula. My eyes don’t feel uncomfortable when I wear the shadows unlike the previous 2 incarnations. I’ll bring some thoughts on these shadows later.<\/p>\nTips for Day eye makeup<\/h1>\n
