Learn how to use The Nighttime Set to create a polished evening makeup look with a clean, minimalist approach. Follow these steps for a seamless day-to-night transition.

Quick answer

To build an evening makeup look with The Nighttime Set, start with a clean, moisturized face, then apply the set's essentials in order: base, eyes, and lips. Focus on enhancing your features with a polished, minimalist finish that transitions effortlessly from day to night.

Why a curated set simplifies evening makeup

A curated set like The Nighttime Set removes the guesswork of choosing products that work together. It includes easy makeup essentials for your evening routine, so you can achieve a cohesive look without overthinking. The set is designed with MERIT's clean, minimalist approach, making it ideal for those who want a polished appearance without excess.

Adapting the look for different evening events

The Nighttime Set is versatile enough for various evening occasions, from casual dinners to more formal events. You can adjust the intensity by layering products more heavily for a dramatic look or keeping applications light for a subtle enhancement. The included Clean Volume Mascara allows you to build volume as desired, giving you control over the final effect.

Evening makeup steps with The Nighttime Set

Prep your skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face to create a smooth base. Apply a primer if desired to help makeup last through the evening. Avoid skipping moisturizer; dry skin can make makeup look patchy.
Apply base makeup: Use the set's base product (such as foundation or tinted moisturizer) to even out your skin tone. Blend well for a natural finish. Don't overapply; start with a small amount and build coverage only where needed.
Define your eyes: Apply the Clean Volume Mascara to your lashes, wiggling the wand from root to tip to build volume. You can also use any eyeshadow or liner included in the set to define your eyes. Avoid clumping by wiping excess product off the wand before applying.
Add color to cheeks and lips: Use the set's cheek and lip products to add a flush of color. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward, then apply lip color for a polished finish. Check your look in natural light to ensure blending is seamless.
Set and refresh: If the set includes a setting powder or spray, use it to lock your makeup in place. Keep blotting papers or a small touch-up kit handy for the evening. Avoid touching your face excessively to prevent makeup transfer.
