When you're on-the-go and the scenery changes from day to night you don't want to have to think about changing your entire makeup look and outfit, especially when you're on vacation. I'm currently enjoying my last winter break as I have just finished my last semester of University. After enduring four years of studies, this 21 year-old college graduate deserves the celebration of a lifetime and what better place to go than Vegas! I've been to Vegas once before as a kid but never as an adult looking to have a good time in celebration of her success. With any vacation comes planning, and being an organized individual I use Vegas.com for the hotel package deals to see what I can get for my trip. My personal favorites are the deals featured for the Venetian, Palazzo, and Bellagio hotels. Being so big, bold, and romantic, I would like to match the scenery with a sweet look for the daytime and something more dramatic for a night out on the Strip. I use the same looks on a regular day in Los Angeles when I'm on-the-go as my scenery changes within just a couple of hours. Here's how I transition from day to night.
During the day I like to keep my look natural and blushed so I incorporate a lot of rosy pinks on the eyes and cheeks. I do this by using the Naked 3 Palette as well as the Lorac Pro Palette for nicely pigmented eyeshadows that reflect beautifully in the sun. I essentially try to achieve a light rose gold. First, I use "Trick" as a base on the entire lid of my eye, then I dab a little bit of "Buzz" on top to give it a more rosy look. One of my favorite things to do with eyeshadows is use a light glitter on the inner-corners of my eyes. "Dust" is the perfect shade for this effect so I go ahead and do so on both corners. I also use the same eyeshadow just below my eyebrows and right above my cupid's bow for a little more highlight. Moving on to the Lorac Pro Palette, I use "Gold" and "It Bronze" on the outer corners of my eyes for more definition. For the finishing touch I use a signature makeup trick of mine which is to use a gold shadow on my cheeks, almost like a blush. After the eyes, I do my everyday winged eyeliner, put on mascara, blush, eyebrows, and my favorite daytime perfume Chloe Love Story. Lastly, I'll decide on what kind of lip I'm going to do to complete the look. I love layering lipstick to achieve different shades so I lightly use Mac's burgundy lipstick "Diva" as a base and then go over it with Mac's "Brick-O-La" which is more of a natural pink. For my outfit, I used cool-toned neutrals to go with my makeup look. This kind of ensemble is perfect for going to my favorite coffee shop Alfred Coffee + Kitchen for my signature hot vanilla latte.

For night time, I like to go for a more daring look so I amp up the darker tones in my makeup and outfit. For my eyes I use the Naked 2 Palette which has amazing shades for a look that makes a statement. Since we're going to be out all night I always start off by using a primer on my eyes and some tinted moisturizer on my face. After that I begin with eyeshadows using "Half Baked" as a base on the entire lid of my eye and then go over it with "Gold" from the Lorac Pro Palette. Then I use "Pewter" from the same palette on the outer corners of my eyes for more definition. Next I go back to the Naked 2 Palette and use "YDK" on the inner corners and finish off with "Chopper" on top. I also use "Chopper" for a little highlight just below my brows, on top of the cheeks, and above my cupid's bow. After the eyeshadows I touch up winged eyeliner, blush, eyebrows, and even add some eyelash extensions to really make my eyes stand out. For lips I solely use Mac's "Diva" for a signature red lip. Since the sun is gone and night is alive, I like to use my favorite sensual perfume Atelier Cologne in Cameila Interpede. I kept my outfit the same and switched out my grey moto jacket for a black leather jacket. I also unbuttoned my top to show a little more skin. This kind of look is perfect for an evening photoshoot with my photographer.
