How to Transition Your Holiday Makeup From Day to Night

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pitt chapter.

The holidays are a fun and busy time for everyone, and sometimes we have no time for ourselves.  Between family and friends, we’re always at family gatherings, ugly Christmas sweater pot lucks, and fun parties.  We’re constantly on the go and sometimes there’s no time between family and friends to switch between grandma appropriate and ready to have fun!  With the help of Rimmel London makeup products, it’s easy to make a few makeup transitions from day time family gatherings to night time festive fun. 

For daytime family gatherings, you can keep your makeup simple and neat.  Starting with Rimmel’s Volume Flash Scandaleyes Mascara, your lashes will look long and full, instantly transforming your face.  Next, add a bit of their natural bronzer in the shade Sun Bronze to brighten up your face and keep you looking fresh!  The extra bit of glow does wonders during the winter time when you’re not getting a ton of sun.  To finishing it off, swipe on a coat of Rimmel’s Provocalips 16 Hour Kiss Proof Lip Colour in the shade Make Your Move.  The shade is more neutral and subtle, helping to create a clean daytime look that isn’t too bold or dramatic. 

Once the family fun is over and you’re ready to go out and party, there’s no need redo your makeup, but you can still transform your look into something more fun and festive! Start by touching up your bronzer and mascara to make your lashes fuller and more striking.  Then use Rimmel’s Scandaleyes Waterproof Eyeliner to make your eyes bolder.  To finish everything off, switch out your neutral lip for something a little more wild.  Rimmel’s Provocalips 16 Hour Kiss Proof Lip Colour in the shade Play With Fire is a sexy bright red that transforms any look.  You’ll be holiday ready and make every head turn with this bold new look. 

While it may be hard to keep track of your holiday schedule, or how many Christmas cookies you’ve eaten this month, your makeup will always look chic with Rimmel London’s fabulous products at hand.  Their Scandaleyes products will make your eyes sparkle and the Provocalips lip products are kiss proof, just in time for any moments you spend under the mistletoe!
