I had so much fun modeling for Makeup.com a couple of weeks ago! I’m a super basic makeup girl. It’s a good day when I remember to do all the steps. (Confession: if someone tells me “steps” of how to do makeup… I stick to that for, well, ever.)
I love makeup, but it’s not my forte for sure. So I was super excited when Makeup.com asked to collaborate. We all decided that it would be fun to go from my normal everyday look to a bolder nighttime look.
I’ll be honest: those red lips and eyeliner made me nervous… But it’s such a different look and I love it!
Thank you Ashley for the makeup lesson, Rebecca for the photos, and Jessica for the writeup– had so much fun playing dress up in my apartment!
What are your makeup tips for going from day to night?

PS I’m obsessed with the cat eye look now…
You look so pretty! It sounds like a blast!

I absolutely love the red lip & top lid eyeliner! That's almost always my go-to.

So beautiful, I wish I was daring enough to try bold red lipstick… I don't think I could pull it off as well as you did!

OH SO GLAM. I'm so terrible at makeup that I don't even know how to get to the "girly" in the first place!
Your Friend, Jess
This is so exciting!

WOW you look gorgeous! Beautiful on the "before" also, but the glam sure pops out, and it's great to have a different look to go out. And I like this one specially because in the end of the day it's super easy, because you can do the top knot even if you don't have time to wash and style your hair and the make up is simple, the lipstick stands up but it take a minute to apply.
Great look!
Carly you look GREAT! I'm super nervous to try out a red lip (like won't even do it for Halloween nervous) but it looks so great on you that I'll give it a second thought! The top knot is a great idea for making the work look more glam- I wouldn't have thought of that.

Everyone can pull off a red lip, you just have to be careful of the undertones of it.
You look absolutely amazing, I adore how glam you look with only 4 simple steps or changes if you will.

I don't think I'm daring enough for the red lipstick trend, but it looks great on you! It's always fun to experiment and shake things up a bit (though I never do..)

you look fantastic!!
I love it!!! I don't always know how to go from my every day look to going somewhere at night, but adding brighter lipstick and eyeliner totally works (and the bun of course)!
I'm obsessed with your day look.
