Last week, I had the pleasure of GLAAMing one of my newest GLAAM Girls, transforming her simple day look into a stunning evening glaam using just a few key products. With GLAAM Cosmetics Foundation in Amber and our long-lasting, transfer-proof Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick in Aphrodite, she rocked a soft and subtle daytime look. But when it was time for her evening event, a quick switch to Sassy Red instantly elevated her glam—same face, same base, just a different lipstick!
The power of makeup transformation is real, and you don’t need a full face redo to go from fresh-faced to fierce. With just a few key steps, you can effortlessly transition from a natural daytime glow to a bold, statement evening look. Here’s how to achieve it with GLAAM Cosmetics!
Step 1: Create Your Soft Daytime Look
A daytime look should be lightweight, fresh, and effortless while still enhancing your natural beauty.
1. Flawless Base with GLAAM Foundation
Start with GLAAM Cosmetics Hydrating Foundation in Amber (or your perfect shade) for a skin-like finish that provides full coverage without feeling heavy. This formula keeps your skin hydrated while lasting all day—perfect for women on the go and women of restoration.
2. Softly Defined Brows
Keep your brows natural yet polished by filling them in lightly with a brow pencil or powder. Use soft strokes to mimic natural hairs for a fresh look.
3. Natural Eyes with a Hint of Glow
For daytime, stick to neutral, matte, or soft shimmer shades. Apply a warm brown or champagne shadow on the lid to brighten the eyes. A touch of mascara completes the look.
4. Velvet Matte Lips in Aphrodite
For an understated yet polished look, go for our transfer-proof Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick in Aphrodite—a soft, pinkish-nude shade that complements all skin tones. This shade gives you that “your lips but better” effect, perfect for everyday wear.
5. A Touch of Color
Finish with a natural blush and a light dusting of setting powder to keep everything in place. A soft highlighter on the high points of the face adds a subtle glow.
🔹 Day Look Complete: Fresh, polished, and perfect for work, brunch, or casual outings!
Step 2: Transition to a Bold Nighttime Glam
Time to turn up the GLAAM! With just a few tweaks, you can transform your look into something bold, sultry, and evening-ready in minutes.
1. Intensify the Eyes
- Deepen the crease with a darker brown or plum shade for more definition.
- Add a shimmery or metallic shadow to the center of the lid for extra drama.
- Line the eyes with a black or brown eyeliner and slightly smudge it for a sultry effect.
- Finish with an extra coat of mascara or false lashes for a more dramatic effect.
2. Add a Bold Lip: Sassy Red Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick
This is where the magic happens! Swap out your soft Aphrodite lipstick for the fiery, head-turning Sassy Red Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick. This shade instantly transforms your look from subtle to striking, adding confidence and power to your vibe.
3. Amp Up the Glow
Enhance your highlight for a more radiant evening look. Apply a golden or champagne highlighter on the cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of the nose.
4. Lock It In with Setting Spray
A long night out calls for a budge-proof finish! Mist your face with a hydrating setting spray to keep everything in place while maintaining that flawless glow.
🔹 Night Look Complete: Bold, glamorous, and perfect for date night, parties, or special events!
Final Thoughts: The Power of a Lipstick Change
Never underestimate the power of a lipstick switch! By simply changing your lip color and adding a few extra touches, you can completely transform your look from daytime chic to nighttime glam—without redoing your entire face.
With GLAAM Cosmetics, you don’t need a full glam squad to create a stunning transformation. Our hydrating foundation, long-wear lipsticks, and high-impact makeup essentials make it easy to stay flawless from day to night.
