The Best Makeup Looks and Hairstyles for a Girls' Night Out

Some nights we just want to lounge in bed while watching a good movie. Other nights, though, getting dressed up and going out with your closest friends is just as much fun (if not more). These are the nights you’d want to get dolled up and look amazing with the best makeup trends and hairstyles

From eyeliner to bold lipstick, read on to try the best makeup looks and hairstyles that are perfect for a girls’ night out!

The Dewy Glow-Up

Substitute a dewy-finish liquid foundation. Blend it into your skin with a makeup sponge. 

The Instant Mascara Lash-Lift 

Prepare for your lashes to flutter. Consider trying out a volumizing and curling waterproof mascara. Sweep it up from your lash line. 

The Dazzling Smokey Eye

Yes, the smoky eye is the ultimate girl's night out look. For this, let’s add some dazzle by using a golden sheen. As such, choose a gold eyeshadow palette instead of gray and black. This is ideal for a little black dress (another girl's night-out favorite). 

To achieve the look, follow these simple steps: 

Step 1: Prime your lids.

Use an eye shadow primer to prepare your lids for painting. 

Step 2: Use gold or metallic eyeshadow.

Apply a gold eyeshadow with a flat eyeshadow brush.

Step 3: Using a smudge brush, create a smudgy eye. 

To create a thick line on your upper lids, use a black pencil eyeliner. 

Step 4: Mind your lower lash line.

Use the same black pencil to line your lower lash line, then blend with a dark brown shadow and a small flat brush. This will add depth to the area and make it appear smokier. 

The Dramatic Cat Eye

The dramatic cat eye or the wing eyeliner is, for good reason, a timeless beauty trend. It flatters everyone and adds just the right amount of drama. 

To achieve the look, follow these simple steps: 

Step 1: Prime your lids.

Begin by applying an eye primer to your eyes.

Step 2: Shape your upper lash line.

Draw a line along the top of your lashes. After, use your eyeliner to trace your upper lash line from the inner corner outward. 

Step 3: Make the wing.

In the corner of your eye, draw a small triangle. Your fluttering wing! 

Don't worry if you miss the cat-eye the first time! If you reapply eye makeup remover with a cotton swab, no one will notice. 

Get Confident with the Bold Lip

While red lipstick is probably your go-to for a night out with the girls, why not try something new this time? From deep burgundy to bright fuchsia, explore with the lips shades that are within your reach and match your skintone. Remember to begin by outlining and then filling in your lips. 

Make (Hair) Waves 

Make beachy waves for your girls' night out. This stunning hairstyle is extremely simple to achieve. After showering, spritz your hair with a subtle hairspray. Then, braid your hair. Allow your hair to air dry after unbraiding it for naturally tousled tresses. The best part about this is that you don’t need to use heat tools. 

Put it Up in a Sleek Ponytail 

The best way to keep your hair out of your face while dancing and show off your beauty is to slick your hair back into a ponytail. You can style it by wrapping a section of it around the hair tie to conceal it. Then secure it with a bobby pin.

Conclusion

No matter the occasion, you should always make it a point to look and feel good. Whether you’re coming into work, attending a family event, or having a long-overdue girls’ night out, simply enjoy the process of getting dolled up! This way, you can experiment with your natural beauty and let it shine through!
