Recently, my husband and I attended a last minute event and a quick and simple look was required. For this Date Night Look, time was of the essence, so I decided to play up my lips rather than waste time creating an elaborate eye look. Truth be told, I did not alter my daytime makeup in the least, but simply changed the lip combo. Adding an extra necklace or two also helps to dress up any outfit. I hope you find this helpful and can use some ideas for your next date night 🙂

THE VERDICT: If makeup could talk what would it say?
Makeup would tell you this “no-fuss” makeup look held up very well all evening. Date Night was quite a success, but I must admit, as lovely as it is going out for the evening, it is even more enjoyable returning home. What can I say….I’m a homebody at heart. Be well and stay safe.
