Let's learn about day-to-night outfits! In this tutorial, I’m going to take a straightforward everyday look and transform it into something eveningwear appropriate. I’m going to show you how you can change up an outfit like this very easily, and I’m going to add on a bit more makeup as well

So for my basic casual look, I’m wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, white Vans, and a simple white denim jacket. I don’t have very much makeup on.

How to take an outfit from day to night

1. Red lip

I added some beautiful red lipstick to change the makeup because this is a really easy way to instantly transform a daytime look into a nighttime one.

2. Lashes and wings

Next, I thought that my eyes could definitely do with a little bit of a touch-up, so I went ahead and put on some lashes and drew a simple wing as well. These changes make my eyes look sexy, bold, and powerful. The lipstick, lashes, and wings change the look so much.

3. Statement earrings

Then I went ahead and put on some dramatic earrings. These ones are gorgeous. They are gold with a circle at the top and a big dangly open rectangle at the bottom, and they give me a vintage 1930s vibe.

6. Belt

I added a belt to add a little bit more shape and put the look together even more. I went for a black leather belt with gold detail at the front. The gold ties in nicely with the earrings and keeps the whole outfit looking harmonious and glam.

7. Heels

Lastly, of course, I had to change my Vans, so I put on these gorgeous black strappy heels, which imbue me with a ton of confidence and make me feel ready to hit the town.
