How To Change Your Look From Day To Evening in Five Minutes

If you have a velvet, brocade, or satin evening jacket, slip that over a simple daytime ensemble.

Swap your pumps for stiletto heels, metallic sandals, or knee-high boots. Trade your pocketbook for a delicate evening clutch. If you’re wearing plain hose with a skirt or dress, switch to patterned or fishnet stockings.

Replace simple jewelry with more ornate pieces.

Ramp up your makeup: Add a layer of mascara, concentrating on the outer lashes, and then curl your eyelashes. Wipe on either a darker lipstick or add shine to your regular shade with some lip gloss. Create smoky eyes by applying black shadow along the upper lash line with a damp makeup brush. Add a little blush.

Transform daytime hair by pulling long hair into a twist, creating drama in a short style with gel, or adding decorative hair clips.
