Keys to getting the perfect night makeup

Hollywood’s most chic show off the night makeup trends of the season. Think you’ll try any of them?

If there’s a point in the day when it’s appropriate to go all out and wear more intense, elegant and glamorous makeup, it’s at night. Almost anything goes. The more subtle and the bold, let your imagination soar and dare to bare red lips, or make your eyes pop.

The celebrities as experts in makeup have shown us that the hottest night trends of the season are along these lines. Smoky eyes are undeniably back as the protagonists. This time in oh-so-familiar black, brown and earthy tones. Earthy tones are a must this season, applied as eye shadow or even as blush.

Smoky eyes share the spotlight with ultra long eyelashes. They go just as well with intense makeup, as with natural makeup.

Expressive nude and red lips and eyes with long eyelashes, the essentials of this season’s night makeup

Moving along from the eyes to the lips: the always exuberant red hasn’t lost its place among the hottest trends. But there are other tones that are close competitors: nude, for example. Add a touch of gloss to enhance the natural shine, essential for all looks.

Bronzing powders play a bigger part now than in the previous seasons, and of course, illuminators are a must as well for the warm spring nights.

But there will always be celebrities like Jessica Hart, who go for colors like bright blue for eyeshadow, and others who opt for snow white like Alexa Chung.
