“Discovering makeup setting spray has changed the way I approach date nights. After an awkward incident in college where my friend’s then-boyfriend pointed out the creases in my eyelid makeup, I knew I needed to make a change. After a disgusting and complex-inducing moment, I made sure my makeup was on point. I used the old “hairspray trick”… (not recommended.) But… I’ve since upgraded to Lisa Eldridge’s gorgeous Skin and Makeup Enhancing Mist. This multifunctional hero is full of love for your skin. ”

“I’ve heard it’s pretty pricey for a glittery lip gloss, but there’s more to this than meets the eye. My daily makeup palette consists of muted, earthy tones, so I was looking for this one. I didn’t go there. I found it while looking at swatches for Mermaid Core’s Tale. On the packaging, it exudes shimmering sea foam and frosty lavender hues. But those glitter flecks don’t stand out on the skin. It looks like it’s going to pop when you touch it – and the result is a really plump gel cream with just a hint of fragrance. ”

“Even before I write in my diary, I can be sure that preparations for the evening date will be completed in a hurry.As I am languorously immersed as usual, I will lose track of time, and while I am alone, my boyfriend will be figuratively You are prompted to tap the clock on the bathroom mirror, still in your dressing gown. I love solid eyeshadow sticks for super quick, slapstick eye moments, but RMS Beauty’s Eyelights, cream pigments, are unexpectedly easy to apply. Squeeze the tube really gently. Simply place your ring finger on your eyelid and drag along your lower lash line to create a defined contour. The metallic color is really gorgeous. I’m obsessed with the penny-like warmth of ‘Flare’. This is an easy way to fake effort for 10 seconds straight. ”

“When it comes to a date night, I want to look radiant, and a bright blush is a product I avidly seek out. But thanks to my perpetually dry, rosacea-prone skin, I don’t want to look radiant, and a bright blush is a product I avidly seek out.” It’s a delicate procedure to apply. With the wrong product, my glowing base was ruined and flaky, patchy red skin was left in place. That was before I discovered it. It has a lightweight gel texture that glides on smoothly, blends easily, and pairs well with foundation. I’m sensitive to redness, but I like that it’s sheer. You can’t go overboard with this product. It doesn’t have any color and the beautiful coral shade is perfect for my olive skin.”

“This product is relatively new to my date night makeup list, but now I really can’t live without it. Not only does it give a glowing sheen, it’s super moisturizing to the lips.” This is my ultimate affordable beauty hero.” For a more natural look, apply it to your bare lips after lining with a lip liner to highlight your natural color. If you want to make it even more glamorous, this shade also goes well over a matte nude pink lipstick. ”

“Honestly, I can find any number of excuses to indulge in this golden elixir, but it’s a must-have for a date night.” Not only does Baccarat Rouge 540 have an enchanting, sensual scent, but it’s also a must-have in your moisturizer. Floating in tiny shimmering particles, this lightweight oil leaves a delicate veil of radiance on freshly nourished skin. Our top tip? Layer it under your eau de parfum for maximum impact.”

“As the poster child for ‘Lazy Girl Makeup,’ I love products that do it all. I bought Glossier’s Cloud Paint color ‘Storm’ a few months ago and have been using it every day ever since. .Very easy to build up, glowy and at the same time very controllable.I use it as a blush for a tanned glow, under my eyes for a subtle pink look, and as a lip color. I love using it as a bag. A little goes a long way and you can easily blend it to create the depth you want. This small tube is perfect for on-the-go and even fits in the smallest of handbags. It’s small enough to fit so you can easily touch up your makeup during date night.”
