How to Apply Makeup for an All-Nighter

If you have to be awake all night, for whatever reason, it is always best to not wear any make-up. However, if you will be pulling your all-nighter with others, you may wish to look nice. Remember to keep things simple and to remove your makeup as soon as possible. Follow these steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lip color
• Foundation
• Blush
• Waterproof Mascara
• Brow pencil
• Brushes and sponges
• Concealer
• Powder
• Eye shadow

1. Even out your skin tone using a foundation that matches your natural color. You may need to apply concealer to cover blemishes missed by the foundation.

2. Use a blush the color of your natural flushed color and apply it using a large brush and a sweeping motion on the apples of your cheeks.

3. Use powder to set the makeup on your face, since it will have to last all night.

4. Skip most of the eye makeup if possible. Simply use a single color on your eyelids to complement the natural color of your eyes.

5. Apply waterproof mascara that will not smudge when worn all night.

6. Use a sheer color on your lips that is one or two shades darker than your natural lip color.

7. Apply gloss to make your lips shine.
