New Yorkers are notoriously busy, rushing from here to there.  It's true; New Yorkers even speak more quickly than people do in other parts of the country.  So for those of you in a rush to get out in the evening, here are 7 steps to go from your day look to one that is ready for a night on the town:

Step 1 Clear off.

To remove flakes of eyeshadow or mascara that have made their way lower on your face throughout the day, dip a cotton ball into translucent powder to wipe away the makeup particles on the parts of your face where you don’t want them. To get rid of raccoon eyes, dampen a cotton swab and run it under the lower lash to remove mascara and eyeliner that has spread beyond where you want it. If that doesn’t do the trick, use eye makeup remover. 

Step 2:Dewy does it.

If you a reapplying mascara, try keeping slightly damp cotton swab behind the lashes during the application for a dewy look.

Step 3: Neutral ground.

Start by applying a neutral shadow over the entire eyelid. Add some dramatic impact by lining you eyes with a dark shadow applied with a fine brush.

Step 4: A Touch of Shimmer.

Apply shimmer on the center of the upper eyelid and the inner corner of the eye to help brighten the eyes, giving you a more awake look.

Step 5: A rosy glow.

You can also apply a bit of shimmer about your cheeks after touching up your blush for glowing appearance.

Step 6: Keep your lips sealed.

For long-lasting lip color, try a stain formula. Avoid getting it on fingers by using an applicator and blotting. Keep your lipstick confined to your lips for the night. To prevent the color from bleeding, apply translucent powder along the outer edge of the lips. You can use a small brush, a clean eyeshadow applicator, or a cotton swab for the purpose.

Step 7: Ready, set, shine! To make your lips look a bit plumper, dab a bit of petroleum jelly or lip gloss in the center of your lips. For all over lip shine, spread evenly over lips.
