Changing your daytime look at the office can take as fast as 3-5 minutes!

After work, freshen up your makeup by spraying your face lightly with cool water from an atomizer. Let dry and blot excess with a tissue. Then press blotting paper on your face to blot oil (there are a lot of brands out there, so take your pick), dab and don’t rub or wipe. You will just be wiping off makeup forcing you to reapply your entire makeup.

Blend a dark gray or black eyeshadow to the outer corner of your eyes using a blending brush working your way towards the center. Blend the center of your eyeshadow with your ring finger until they are very well blended together.

Sweep a little dark bronzer on your cheekbones to add color to your cheeks.

Apply your favorite night lip color. I love Colour Collection’s Mineral Cosmetics in Smooth Wine (photographed above P199), it’s just like MAC’s Viva Glam I lipstick except it’s creamy and not very matte, not to mention, it’s 1/5 of the price! Matte lipsticks can be drying specially I your lips chap a lot. Colour Collection Lipsticks are my current fave!

Pat blotting powder on your nose like Elianto’s Blotting Powder to mattify your face to finish.

Evil Beauty has a "charm" all of its own and is perfect when coupled with an equally bad-ass looking outfit. Lets get started making you look evil at work... but absolutely gorgeous!

Foundation: Pale, but matches your skin tone. We want you to look as if you have never stepped out into the sunlight. Forget the bronzers and other tanning powders you may have.

Concealer: If you have any areas that need concealing, I would suggest using a foundation brush and then stippling the concealer into place. It seems to give a much better coverage, but is seldom noticeable.

Contouring: Work a touch of neutral dark brown into areas beneath the cheekbones. Be sure not to go overboard, you should look like you have high cheekbones but still look natural. While applying... think delicate! We want you to look evil, but we are after the gorgeous side of evil... not the ugly. Makeup kits appearing at Halloween is what you should get if you are going for the real evil evil look. Try Stila's Contouring Trio or Fanny Serrano Face Powder in Toffee.

Eye Liner: Here is where you get to play with your makeup. While everything else is rather delicate, the liner is strong (or smudged if you prefer). If you can manage liquid liner, that would be my first choice. Follow up with a lengthening mascara.

Eye Brows: Brows need to be perfect. If you haven't checked them in a while, now is the time. If you need help, check to see if there is a Brow Clinic in your area. Have them professionally groomed and then all you have to do is take care of the maintenance.

Eye Shadow: Go for the smoky eye! If you don't know how to create a smoky eye, CLICK HERE. I made a previous post about the smoky-eye for morenas, but the same application applies for women with fair skin.

Blush: Rouge was once the only product used for adding color to the cheeks and it usually came in a deep red color. A touch of *scarlet is what you want to use for your "evil" look. We are looking for hot cheeks... so blend well. Try NARS powder blush in CRAZED.

Lipstick: To match the cheeks, I would choose a deep red or even a deep plum for the lips and perhaps even work a little *blue into the color to deepen the color even more. Try Lancome's Color Design Lipstick in Prune Drama Girl or Fast Fashion!

The first thing I do after I buy new eyeshadow is drop it on the floor and shatter it into a million pieces. I am just clumsy that way.

How many times have you accidentally dropped your eyeshadow on the floor and been left with a mess? I use to carefully pick up each broken eyeshadow and put them back in their case and would carefully open it each time I use. Sometimes, this leaves a huge mess in my makeup kit!

I was surfing the internet until I browsed upon the site that taught women how to quick fix broken eyeshadow!

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

If the shadow has a very soft texture, simply place all of the pieces into its original packaging. Place a kleenex over the top and gently press down using your index finger. After several small presses, your eyeshadow should be intact once again!

However, if your shadow is not soft enough for the above process, more severe measures must be taken.

You will need: a ziploc bag, rubbing alcohol, scissors, paperclip (or bobbypin), fabric, and a coin.

Using your paperclip, break the eyeshadow up and pour into a ziploc bag. Tilt the bag so all of the eyeshadow is concentrated in the corner of the bag. Smash the shadow until it becomes a fine powder (I used my chapstick). Clean and sanitize the original eyeshadow pan.

Place two drops of alcohol into pan using a medicine dropper. I found a nice dropper from Landmark and it helps me store a few ml of alcohol in it too in case I need to quick fix in a shoot.

Cut the corner of the ziploc back and pour half of the eyeshadow into the pan. Add a few more drops of alcohol and mix using your paperclip. Add the rest of the eyeshadow and the necessary amount of alcohol to form a thick smooth paste, like icing. Smooth it out the best that you can (doesn’t have to be perfect right now) and let the alcohol evaporate until it has almost completely hardened, about 30 mins. Take a coin that will cover the the entire eyeshadow pan (a quarter usually works) and wrap it in your fabric. You should choose a fabric with a pattern close to that of eyeshaows. Firmly press the coin into your eyeshadow. Make sure to press hard enough to pack in the eyeshadow, but not too hard so that the eyeshadow breaks and oozes out.

VOILA!! Your eyeshadow makeup is now like brand new! Well... Sorta ;P
