There are a lot of things I used to have before kids and taking on blogging full time that have disappeared over the years - my patience, my eyebrows (like, seriously, where'd they go?), my white teeth (I blame this one on my 5:00AM wake up calls from my youngest and need for coffee to survive them), and probably the biggest one: sweet, precious free time.
That's why whenever my fiance and I have the rare chance to have alone time on a date night, I know I'm pulling out all the stops to switch up my look, and I’ll have about 20 minutes to do it before someone - usually the kids, sometimes the fiance - starts yellin'.
Today, I've partnered up with Colgate® Optic White® RADIANT™ Toothpaste to share with you my simple tutorial on how to take your daytime look to date night ready! For my daytime makeup, I like to go for a youthful, natural, cover-the-fact-you-only-got-four-hours-of-sleep look and it usually consists of a BB cream, concealer and mascara. For date night, I really like to amp that up!
Step 1 - Clean up time. Oil blotting sheets are awesome for soaking up any excess oil from the day. A makeup remover-soaked cotton swab is another great way to clean up any "raccoon eyes" or lipstick gone rogue.
Step 2 - The foundation. I normally wear BB cream during the day, but for date night, I can take the coverage up a notch by simply adding another layer of BB cream! For concealer, I touch up any spots that might've been popping through and then set them with a setting powder so they don't move.
Step 3 - Bronze/Blush/Highlighter. During the day, I don't wear any of these so I can really start from scratch for my date night look. I like to take my bronzer first and apply with a fluffy brush onto my forehead, cheeks and down my neck in circular motions. Next, I take my blush and apply to just the apples of my cheeks for a flushed look. Lastly, using my finger, I'll apply my highlighter to the bridge and tip of my nose and cupids bow.
Step 4 - Va-va voom eyes! I normally wear mascara during the day so to incorporate it into my date look, I'll leave it but clean up any flakes or smudges. For this look, I decided I wanted a smokey brown eye with some sparkles! I first started with a clean base on my lid and then went in with a dark taupe shade into my crease. Next, I took a dark espresso brown and applied that onto my inner and outer v on my eyes and blended out. With my finger, I patted on some gold sparkles into the middle of my lid. Lastly, I applied that same dark taupe on my bottom lid and blended out. To really take this to the next level, I added some fun, piece-y false lashes!
Step 5 - Freshen up. By the time 7:00PM rolls around, my teeth need a brushin' - bad! When you rely on coffee to keep you going throughout the day, your teeth can suffer and lack that special radiance. I'm a huge fan of using Colgate® Optic White® RADIANT™ Toothpaste (morning and night) as it safely whitens the inside as well as the outside of your teeth and is completely safe for daily use.

And you're done! Now, with the confidence from a white smile and killer look, get out and get 'em tiger!
