Date Night Make Up and Outfit Tutorial | New Woman Magazine
So, while we got you all set for a Lunch date in our previous post, it's time to glam up and get set for the ultimate date night. Ditch those typical LBDs and gowns for something more elegant this year. But hey, who said you have to let go of bling? In this post, we decode the make up and look book in a step-by-step tutorial, as featured in our special editorial for the New Woman Magazine (February Issue). Get set to look glamorous and achieve that perfect look for a special date night, this valentine's day.
Step One: Set the base as per your preference (you can follow the steps mentioned in our Day Date Look).
Step One: Set the base as per your preference (you can follow the steps mentioned in our Day Date Look).
Step Two: Since we are creating a look for an evening / night date, I have added a hint of bling with darker hues on the eyes. Start with a light base colour and spread it well all over the eye area. I chose the 'Pure white' shade from the Sleek Matte Eyeshadow Palette. Next, I chose the shade 'Maple' (from the same palette) and blended it well with multiple strokes on the crease. The idea is to get a darker hue of the shade. Apply a hint of the 'Pure white' shade on the inner corner of your eyes.
Step Three: To add some drama, use a metallic eye shadow on the lid and blend it well. I have used the Kiko stick eye shadow in Golden Beige. Blend the maple and gold hues at the fold of your eyelid.
Step Three: Use a liquid eyeliner on the top lash line. Create a thin line using the Lakmé Absolute Gloss Artist (Black) and create inner inverted edges towards the end.
Step Four: To make your lashes look voluminous, add a swipe of the MAC Haute and Naughty Mascara. Use the large oriface to add volume for a dramatic look.
Step Five: To highlight your cheeks and get the perfect flushed cheeks, I used the Honey Bronze Highlighter by The Body Shop, which can be used both as a highlighter and a cream blush (use at least 3-4 layers for the colour to be visible). Start near the apple of your cheeks (image 1). Use it in the upwards direction (apple of the cheek to the temples). Start by blending with your fingers and then, use a blending brush for the finishing touches.
Step Six: Create an outline with your lip-liner. I have used the Kiko Lip Pencil in classic red. Fill in with a retro matt red lipstick like MAC Ruby Woo. For those who need a touch of gloss, you can choose the Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict in Red Delight.
For the Hair: Use an anti-frizz serum to ensure your hair stays in place. Make two tiny braids on both sides and pack them at the centre behind using pins. Spray some hairspray for better hold. You can also choose to curl the ends. Add some fancy hair accessories at the centre to complete the look. If you have side fringes, leave them naturally open for a chic look.
And finally, add some blingy drama to your outfit with a pair of metallic shoes and clutch. You can also choose to accessorise it with some rings, but I kept it simple and preferred to go the minimal way with just a cuff. Throw on a jacket, because nights continue to be cold in February! Oh and hey, enjoy your date.

Valentine's Day Make Up and Outfit Tutorial | New Woman Magazine
February has been a 'lovely' month. Apart from being the month of love and happiness, it gave us a surprise in the form of a fun and exclusive editorial shot for one of India's leading lifestyle magazines - New Woman. Keeping in mind the demand for easy make up tutorials for a special date, the amazing team at New Woman invited me to work on a step-by-step date look guide, for both day and night. It is perfect for those who want to go the minimal way and keep it simple yet chic for a special occasion. In this post, I will be decoding a special Valentine's Day date look, for a lunch date or day out with your loved one.
Step One: Spray a facial mist on your face to let the make-up stay longer. I prefer using the MAC FixIt+. Two light pumps are enough to keep your face hydrated.
Step Two: Start with the base. I have mixed two shades of Revlon Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation - Fresh Beige and Shell. Mix a small quantity of both the shades and with the help of a brush, spread it evenly all over your face. Ensure that your face looks even and natural (we don't need a cakey look).
Step Three: Time to conceal blemishes and those pesky dark circles. I prefer using the concealer after using the foundation (tip: it helps save a lot of your product). Mark those blemishes and areas that you want to conceal. Blend it well with a blending brush or sponge. I have used the L'Oreal True Match concealer.
Step Four: Use some pressed powder foundation to set the base, and to ensure that there is no trace of sweat or grime. I have used the MAC Studio Fix pressed powder. Ensure you use it well on the t-zone with the help of a powder brush. You can skip this step if you feel your base is perfect and doesn't need a final touch up.
Step Five: Pick an eyeshadow hue that matches your outfit well. I chose a maple shade from the Sleek Matte Eyeshadow palette and applied it with the help of a brush. It was blended well with a silvery white shade from the same palette. I use my index finger for blending. You can use a brush as well. Tap off any excess shadow.
Step Six: Use a liquid eyeliner and wing it in a unique way. Split the ends of your wing into two, creating a twig. I have used the Lakmé Absolute Gloss Artist in black. The tip of this liquid liner is perfect for experiments. You can keep the line thick or thin, according to your preference. Add a little eyeliner on the inner corner of the eyes to open them up and to prevent your eyes from looking too pale.
Step Seven: Work some mascara. I have used two swipes of my favourite - MAC Haute and Naughty Mascara, which comes in a dual-wiper system. I have used the defined brush here, to add a more natural look.
Step Eight: Use a brow pencil and fill your brows well. Likewise, you can also use an eyeshadow that matches the shade of your brow hair and fill them in.
Step Nine: For my lips, I chose Clinique Chubby Stick in Pudgy Peony, which is a nice fuchsia pink. You can add a tinge of red and blend the two colours as well. I prefer blending this shade with Lakme's Absolute Gloss Addict in Red Delight.
Step Ten: Use a blush that matches your skin type and complexion. I like both cream and powder based blushes, but for this look, I chose the Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush. With the help of a blush brush, apply it in an angular motion, blending from the apples of the cheeks towards the temples.
Step Eleven: Use an anti-frizz leave in on your hair to ensure there are no unwanted flyaways or frizz. Set it with the help of a paddle brush and blow dry it gently, or you can choose to keep it natural. Leave your hair open and accessorise it with a chic hairband.
And there you go! All set for a lunch date with your loved one (or even a fun day out with your girl friends). We are huge fans of chic dresses that add some drama to an otherwise quiet afternoon date. Let us know how you like the look and if you will be trying it out this V-day. And do check out the full tutorial in the February issue of New Woman Magazine.
