Hi, I'm Daniela Rowson. I'm a makeup artist, and I'm going to show you how to do makeup for a night out. So, the products that we will use are dark eye shadows, a nude lipstick, more mascara and the brushes we will use are a crease blending brush, a placement brush and a pencil smudging brush. Since we already have our day makeup on we're going to go from day to night and we're just going to start off by putting this darker color which is almost like a black charcoaly color and we're going to start right on the crease but almost really close to the lid. We want to do that really pretty smoky eye everybody wants. Your smoky eye you have to be careful too, you have to make sure that you blend it, otherwise it's going to look unfinished and then we're going to get our smudging brush which is this little guy right here and we're going to do that smudging with that dark color right on the lash line. And this will give you that really sultry eye and now we're going to grab this fun purple right here. And purples are really great for honey skin because it's on the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to color so it's going to make your eyes pop. And then we're going to take that same smudging brush and we're going to grab that dark color again. So our next step will be the mascara. Since we have darker eyes we want to make the mascara more dramatic so that our eyelashes will pop and we're just going to add an extra layer to what we already had and just wiggle it and pull it outwards. If you have really long lashes it helps too if you do the bottom first, that way when you look up you don't get it on the top of your eye. And our last step will be our nude lip. You want to keep it more simple on the lip when you have a really dramatic eye so pick one or the other, either a really bright lip and a nude eye or a nude eye and a bright lip. So make sure when you do your night out look that you pick one area. So either do dark on the eyes and nude on the lips or a bright lip and a very nude eye. My name is Daniela Rowson. Thanks for watching.
