The goal? A radiant, confident version of you, comfortable, glowing, and ready to make an unforgettable impression.

Prepping the Skin for a Flawless Base

Cleanse + Hydrate

Start your date night glam with freshly cleansed, moisturized skin. Hydrated skin not only looks healthier but helps your makeup apply more smoothly.

Prime for Longevity

Reach for the Revlon PhotoReady™ Prime Plus Perfecting + Smoothing Primer. This multi-tasking primer smooths texture, blurs imperfections, and keeps your foundation looking fresh all night—making it a must for long-wear makeup looks.

Creating a Radiant Complexion

Step 1: Foundation

Use Revlon ColorStay™ Longwear Makeup for buildable, natural-looking coverage that lasts up to 24 hours. It’s humidity-resistant, transfer-resistant, and formulated to suit all skin types—ideal for dancing, dining, and everything in between.

Step 2: Concealer

Brighten under your eyes and cover any blemishes with Revlon ColorStay™ Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer. This lightweight yet high-coverage formula hydrates, de-puffs, and brightens in one swipe—making you look instantly more awake and refreshed.

Use Revlon SkinLights™ Prismatic Highlighter to accentuate cheekbones, your cupid’s bow, and the bridge of your nose. This silky powder gives a candlelit glow—perfect for golden-hour lighting or an intimate evening setting.

Soft, Sultry Eyes for a Dreamy Gaze

Step 5: Eyeshadow

For softly shimmering eyes, choose the Revlon ColorStay™ Day to Night Eyeshadow Quad in Addictive or Decadent. Each quad includes coordinated tones to build depth and create a sultry shimmer that flatters every eye color. The fade-proof formula lasts up to 24 hours.

Define your eyes with ColorStay Lash Serum + Liner™ Liquid Eyeliner in Black Brown. This 2-in-1 product offers precise, smudge-resistant lines while conditioning your lashes—ideal for creating a flirty, subtle wing. Want to perfect your technique? Learn how to do winged eyeliner.

The Perfect Kiss-Proof Lip

Step 8: Balm

Start by prepping your lips with Super Lustrous™ Glass Shine Balm to exfoliate, hydrate, and smooth for easier lipstick application.

Step 9: Lip Color

Apply Revlon ColorStay Suede Ink™ Lipstick in Speak Up or Love That Red. This long-wearing, matte finish lipstick delivers a bold color that stays kiss-proof without drying out your lips—just what you need for date night.

Step 10: Optional Gloss

Add Super Lustrous™ The Gloss in Crystal Clear to the center of your lips for a plumping, light-reflecting effect that enhances any lipstick underneath.

Setting the Look for All-Night Wear

Step 11: Powder

Use ColorStay™ Blot Setting Powder to control shine without dulling your glow. Its silky texture sets liquid products in place and keeps oil at bay.

Step 12: Setting Spray

Finish with Revlon ColorStay™ Lock Setting Mist to seal your makeup and keep it transfer-resistant and radiant for up to 24 hours.
