When it comes to doing your makeup for a night of debauchery, why not opt to be the center of attention? It’s all about achieving that eye-catching look that not only packs a serious punch but also stays put all night long.
This season, vibrant, bold reds and glimmering metallics take center stage for those of us yearning for a night on town. Both universally flattering shades, they’re guaranteed to pop against all skin tones, no matter how you choose to wear them. Don’t be afraid to get creative, either. Using lip color or gloss on your lids or liquefying a pigmented powder can add an unexpected hue or texture to an otherwise tame look, as well as provide long-lasting effects.
Teaming up with photographer Tory Rust, makeup artist Amanda Wilson worked her magic on two beauties looking to have a good time one fall evening in Brooklyn, New York. Made for the adventurous girl who plans on partying until the sun comes up, these looks certainly aren’t for the faintest of heart. However, they will take you all through the night into the after-hours—from the party and the bar to late-night pizza stops and bodega runs.

For Madison’s look, Wilson first applied a glossy berry Nars Multiple stick to the lids. In order to draw a bold, graphic line in the crease, she then mixed Make Up For Ever’s Metal Power with their Aqua Seal to create a liquid shimmer. She chose M.A.C.’s super-bold Retro Matte Lipcolour to create a serious pop against the glossy, smudgy eye. For Miyanda, she left the lips nude with M.A.C.’s Lipmix Gloss and focused on a graphic eye instead. Mixing M.A.C.’s Lipmix with a similar deep red shade of Make Up For Ever’s Star Powder, she created a glossy, shimmery eye with a serious punch.

For Madison’s look, Wilson created an all-gold, metallic lid that lasts by mixing two shades of Make Up For Ever’s Metal Pigment with Aqua Seal. She threw a bit of gloss over her matte red lips for a high-shine, vinyl look. On Miyanda, she dabbed a bit of clear lipgloss over her existing bold red lid to create a glossy effect without the smearing of the pigment.
