Influencers offering tips and tutorials on how to apply makeup has taken social media by storm, with Instagrammers and YouTubers alike presenting their artistic talent. Some have even become big name makeup artists simply from sharing their talent online!
Makeup tutorials have become famous worldwide, such as the ones featured here https://www.byrdie.com/best-makeup-tutorials, which show how popular these sorts of videos are. From glam to fancy dress, and illusions to prosthetics, there are tutorials for a broad selection. People love to watch others do the ‘art’ first, and what better way than visually via video?
It’s clear that most of these makeup looks are created for events like a glamorous night outs and, while there are some more causal tutorials, there are still some occasions that are overlooked in this area. For example, when you think of going to a sporting event or attending a games night, a particular makeup look doesn’t really spring to mind. That’s why we’re here to fill in the gaps by figuring out the best makeup looks for these two, more casual events.
Girls Games Night
Over recent years, games have gone above and beyond the standard board game, with a range of titles that you can host a themed evening around, and even play online. I mean, most interactive games take place on a laptop, phone screen or even through the TV these days! With most of these games now accessible online, people are increasingly turning to them for an evening of fun, especially in the Winter when we have more nights in with friends. Your girls night can include taking a look on sites like bonusfinder.com/uk/free-spins-no-deposit/ which facilitating a host of online ‘nights’ filled with fun, with no deposits needed.
For casino-themed nights, or even Vegas glam themed evenings, there’s a range of relevant films on our screens that you can also take inspiration from. To name a few; Casino Royale, Bugsy, and Ocean’s Eleven which have strong female characters. Pair your glamourous ballgown with a bit of bronzer to exaggerate your cheekbones, a deep red/brown eyeshadow with a flick of eyeliner, and a deep colour lip – and you’re good to go! You can also take this a step forward and host a Vegas themed fancy dress night.
Alternatively, there are other variations of games nights that are ticketed, such as Bongo’s bingo, different themed escape rooms, and murder mysteries. More often than not, Bongo’s bingo ends in a night out, so the makeup for that might be similar to the glam look you normally go for on a Friday night. As for themed nights, it might be simpler than you think. Take murder mysteries, you’re often allocated a character which comes with a description, so if the description is something like Miss Scarlett from Cluedo, you know a bit of red lippy and a matching silhouette dress will go a long way.
Sports Events
Whilst events like horse racing do have their associated dress code, particularly for Ladies’ Day, there are other sports events that have less strict dress codes, or none at all. To provide an example, attending a football match is a popular choice by many, and makeup is always an option. There are so many women who regularly attend these now, too.
It’s hard to picture yourself cheering your team on whilst eating a hotdog with a face full of makeup – though, by all means, do that – which is why we choose a minimalistic look for this kind of event. Picture a dab of concealer and a stroke of blusher, you could even add eyeshadow that matches your teams’ colour to show your fan status.
While, of course, makeup isn’t essential for attending these types of events, it’s fun and artistic. For that reason, makeup tutorials can be seen everywhere, like this site demonstrates, https://www.glamour.com/about/makeup-tutorial. There are so many looks to explore, so do some research and get creative so you’re confident whatever the event.
