What's Your Beauty Regime for a night out?

Candycrush

Recently while I've been out at the weekend I have noticed how much effort some people go to and how great they look, with their fake lashes etc and it got me wondering what all your regimes for a night out are? Want to pick up some tips & advice

I start with my tan when I'm straight out of the shower - I've been using He-Shi recently and find it really good. Its instant and you get a nice glow while putting it on. I know it says on the bottle to leave it for 8hrs or that and then shower, but I never do.

I usually then decide how I will do my hair, 90% of the time its down and straight. I get straight to drying.

When my hair is dry & outfit picked I start applying my makeup.
Cleanse, Tone & moist and then its primer.

My makeup always is:
Foundation
Blush
Eye Shadow
Eye liner
Mascara
Lip Stick

I try and pick my outfit first, or at least have a few things that I wanna wear out so I can mull them over!

After my shower I'll put mousse or leave in conditioner in my hair, dry it a little with the hair dryer and pop it up in a bun. If I've not washed my hair, I'll put hot rollers in. Then full body moisturising, including face. I wash my face in the shower.


Make up wise:
Primer
Foundation
Concealer
Powder
Blush
Highlighter
Eyebrows
Eyeshadow
Eyeliner
Mascara
Lips

Finish off hair, it's often down in my natural curls or in a top knot. Rollers come out if I've used them, then just hairspray and go! Oh, I do get dressed at some stage too!

I must add a highlighter to my wish list and I also see that brows are another ritual that you ladies do.

Sorry if this is a silly question but what do you mean by face & eye contour??

I wear the same make up going out as I do during the day

Primer (sometimes)
Foundation
MAC blot powder
Blusher (the odd time)
Eyeshadow
Mascara
Lip gloss/lipstick.

I do my hair after I've done my make up as I usually just straighten it, and when my hair/make up is done, I get dressed.

I've only worn eyeliner once going out and that was to an event last weekend and I got the beautician to do it as I can never get eyeliner right. I've tried countless times and just can't get the knack of it

Have you tried gel liner? I find it easy enough to put on, and of course practice makes perfect! The looks I get from it I could never achieve with a pencil liner.

Yup. I've tried pencil, gel, liquid, felt-tip eyeliner pens etc. and no luck.

I wear glasses and without them I am pretty much blind, but I've tried it when wearing contacts and still can't get the hang of it. I just cannot get that straight line.

Last week I went to an event and had the beautician do liner on me and honestly, without sounding self-absorbed, I looked much nicer than I have without it. I had a proper smokey eye look for the first time and had that crisp lined eye.

I would absolutely love to be able to even do pencil liner, but I just cannot get the hang of it no matter much I practice

I usually moisturise and get dressed before I do my make up and hair. I usually follow the same regime for going out as I do every other day, maybe an extra step or two. Mine goes:

Moisturise
SPF powder
Primer
Foundation
Blusher
Powder
Eyebrows
Eyeliner
Mascara
Lipstick

For a night out sometimes I add highlighter in there at some point, and the odd time I wear fake eyelashes, they'll go on after my eyeliner. Don't bother with fake tan, I'm happy enough being pale haha

Mine is pretty much same as Twee's. I choose my outfit, set my hair in rollers, do my mu (again pretty much same as Twee's list above), undo rollers (If I haven't used rollers, I'd do my hair at this stage. I like to use curlers. I sometimes do a fancy dressed up pony tail), get dressed and voila!

Shower.

After shower, moisturiser on my face.

Then straighten my hair.

After that I apply -

Eyeshadow
Eyeliner
Mascara
Lipstick or lipgloss.
Perfume.

If I break out, I'll slap on some concealer and foundation but in general I don't need either, I have great skin thankfully.

Takes me 20 minutes tops to get ready for a night out, less if I've showered earlier in the afternoon.

I take hours to get ready! I'll usually start my tan the night before.

I shower, then dry my hair and put in heated rollers.Having exfoliated in the shower I moisturise my whole body and then paint both sets of nails. I apply another layer of tan.

Then make up:
-Primer
-Concealer
-Foundation (Mac SF in NW30, with SF NW20 on my eyes, nose and under my eyes to help create a contour effect)
-More Concealer
-Powder (again darker round the edges, paler on my nose/eyes)
-Bronzer
-Contouring
-Highlighting
-Eyeshadow Primer
-Eyeshadow
-Eyeliner
-Liquid Eyeliner
-Mascara Primer
-Mascara (x4)
-False Lashes
-Fill in Eyebrows
-Eye Brow Gel
-Blusher
-Lip Primer
-Lip Liner
-Lipstick
-Lipgloss
-Lip Seal
-Setting Spray

I take out the heated rollers and backcomb my whole head of hair. Then I lightly curl my 2 sets of extensions and put them in. Lots of hairspray, then a shine conditioning spray.

Get dressed and I'm good to go

WhiteRoses do you mind me asking what lip seal you use?
I've tried a Rimmel one before but didn't find it so good. Its a pain having to continuously top up lippie.

Hey Molly, it's a Bare Minerals one. SPF 30. Comes in a white twist up container that dispenses the powder through the attached brush. I find it good because liquid SPF is very heavy and greasy I find. However there's a couple of things I don't like about it:

1. The smell of it reminds me of matches, but I can't smell it anymore. Must have gotten used to it! :pac:
2. The powder clogged up and stopped coming through. I finished up unscrewing the bottom and emptying the powder into an old pressed powder container!

sibby

Firstly shower and then dry my hair
Moisturise
Straighten my hair
Eyeprimer
Eyeshadow
eyeliner (white and brown)
Gel eyeliner
Prime face
Concealer
Foundation
Powder
Contour
Highlight
Blush
Touch up eyes
Mascara
lipliner
Lipstick
Backcomb hair and hairpray

und Voila!!!

Takes me 90 minutes from time of getting into the shower to walking out the door. If I don't need to shower/wash my hair, I'd be ready to go in half an hour.

Tan the night before.
Shower, wash hair.
Moisturise face, decide what I'm wearing
Make-up (before I dry my hair so I can pin my fringe out of the way)
Foundation
Powder
Fill in eyebrows
Light dust of bronzer
Eyeshadow - base, dark socket, highlighter in inner corner & under brow
Eyeliner - colour on top & bottom, black or blue on inner bottom (depending on colour of shadow I've gone for)
Mascara - 3 layers


Blow dry hair
Get dressed
See if I need a bit more bronzer
Blush
Lipgloss

Out the door. I absolutely HATE hanging around the house once I'm ready.

Same! I'd even rather be rushing to get ready than sit around after I'm done.

What highlighter do you use?

Benefit High Beam is gorgeous.

For more subtle day-time highlight, I use a powder one that came with an Urban Decay palette. Also very pretty!

Lia_lia

Generally these days when I go out I just go out in my normal day-time clothes and might put on a bit more make-up. But if it's a "big night out" and I have time to get ready..

I have a shower if I have time/need one.

Then get dressed. (which sometimes involves throwing on and off several different items of clothing before I decide what to wear!)

Put on make-up. Moisturiser, primer, foundation, powder, blusher, eyeshadow, eyebrow pencil, liquid eyeliner, lipstick and mascara. Don't wear tan, eugh.

Dry my hair. Sometimes straighten it. Rarely curl it because I can't be arsed. Does looks nice curly though!

Takes me about 40 mins to get ready if I have a shower and 15-20 mins if I don't. Most of that time is trying on different clothes

For highlighter I love lustre drops (pink rebel) from mac and high beam from benefit. Moonbeam is quite nice too.

Thanks so much , I must look into this

Sunshineboo

Shower
Moisturise
Primer
Foundation
Concealer
Highlighter- Highbeam usually
Shimmer Brick- its by 17 and gives me a nice pinky subtle glow, I use it around my cheekbones, browbones
Eye shadow
Liquid eyeliner
Mascara
Sally Hansen usually for legs and some other instant tan for everywhere else. Sometimes I will have used one of those gradual tans during the week like Nivea or Garnier, not fussed about tan but like to add a little colour to my very pale skin!
Hair- I use human hair clip in extensions quite a bit and I usually curl them!
