DAY TO NIGHT HAIR & MAKEUP: A STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL

Step 1: Morning Cleanse & Prep

A flawless office to evening makeup and hair look always starts with morning prep. A little intention early on means less fuss later. Your plan: create a beautiful canvas that can handle touch-ups and add-ons.

Hair Prep

Begin in the shower with our RevitaLash® Cosmetics Thickening Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner. These formulas deliver scalp therapy benefits while giving your hair body that lasts through work, dinner, and everything between.

Follow with our Volume Enhancing Foam to add lift and enhance fine, thinning hair without weight. Blow dry as needed, focusing at the crown for lift. The goal is to create a full-bodied foundation you can easily refresh at night.

Lash, Brow & Complexion Prep

Your eye area sets the stage for your entire makeup look. Start with a clean canvas: Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser like our RevitaLash® Cosmetics Micellar Water Lash Wash to sweep away residue, oil, or leftover mascara.

Once your eyes are fully dry, apply your lash and brow serums. Enhancing your lashes with RevitaLash® Advanced and your brows with RevitaBrow® Advanced improves the payoff of everything you apply later. When your lashes and brows are beautiful and healthy, your mascara looks better, your brows make a stronger statement, and your overall look reads more youthful and awake.

Next, move to complexion: Apply a primer and long-wear foundation that will last throughout the day. A lightweight, long-wear base provides coverage without looking heavy, and primer keeps everything smooth. Pro tip: Use a setting spray to lock in your makeup and prevent midday fading.

Finally, groom your brows with a clear or tinted gel, depending on how much structure you prefer. Our Hi-Def Brow Gel comes in clear as well as two universally flattering tints. Plus, it features peptides and oat beta glucan to strengthen brows while you wear.

A brushed-up brow instantly lifts the face and creates a polished look that’s ideal for both day and night.

Step 3: Transition to Night

Here’s where your look shifts from subtle to dramatic. Your makeup’s evolution starts with the eyes. They’re your easiest features to intensify quickly without needing to remove everything you applied earlier.

Add Depth & Drama

Grab a shimmer or smoky eyeshadow — something in bronze, espresso, plum, or metallic taupe. Add depth to your crease or sweep shimmer across the lid for instant glam. This creates a defined, elevated effect with minimal effort.

Add bold eyeliner to deepen the drama. You can wing your liner, tightline your lashes, or smudge your liner for a smoky effect. Each version transforms your daytime eye into a full day to night makeup moment.

Use Micellar Water Lash Wash on a pointed cotton swab to clean up shadow fall or sharpen your wing. This trick keeps your look crisp without removing your whole base.

Add a coat of volumising mascara to the single coat you applied in the morning for added nighttime impact.

Brow Upgrade

Nighttime calls for more definition. Use our RevitaLash® Cosmetics Hi-Def Brow Pencil to fill in sparse areas, define arches, or elongate the tail. Finish with another layer of brow gel to lock in shape and hold. Brows are architectural; they frame the eyes and anchor your evening look with confidence and polish.

Step 4: Evening Hair Update

Your hair transformation doesn’t need heat or restyling — just strategic refreshers and a few smart moves.

Instant Volume

Apply dry shampoo or volumising spray to reactivate morning lift. Massage your roots or tease hair gently at the crown to create height.

Bun/Braid Reveal

Undo your bun or braids and shake out your strands. Your daytime style will have created soft waves or added texture. Enhance it with a texturising spray for effortless movement and volume.

Add a Touch of Glam

Accessorise. A minimalist clip, jewelled barrette, or chic pin takes your hair from casual to polished in seconds. Consider this your hairstyling shortcut to sophistication.
