Getting ready for a special night out doesn’t have to be stressful and complicated. No matter your age, there’s a makeup look that’ll make you feel like a million bucks. As exemplified by our favorite celebs from Gigi Hadid to SJP, you can choose to keep things minimal or go full-on bold. Here, we’ve got all the inspiration, tips and products you need.
Love Is In The Air
Minimal
Fresh-faced beauty works well on everyone, but Gigi Hadid has made it a staple for 20-somethings. Keep it subtle with nude eyeshadow and shimmer lip gloss.
Bold
If you're feeling edgy, a bright red lipstick will leave a lasting impression. It's a classic look you can never go wrong with.
Minimal
Accentuate your skin's natural tones à la Kate Bosworth. A peachy blush and lip are a fresh, subtle finish.
Bold
We truly believe this lipstick shade looks good on everyone, regardless of age. If you're not intimidated by a dark lip, go for a deep berry.
Minimal
Bronzy, golden hues are universally flattering. Channel J.Lo and layer eye shadow to get the intensity you like, and be sure to add some shine to your lips.
Bold
Add a touch of classic old Hollywood to the modern trend of plump lips. Elongate lashes with a lengthening and volumizing mascara for a youthful touch.
Minimal
SJP proves that minimal always works—add a touch of black or brown liner to your waterline, then finish your lips with an illuminating glow.
Bold
But you don't have to stray from a sultry smoky eye just because you're in your 50s. Layer on tones of charcoal gray and black, and finish with a neutral lip.
