Date night is all about self-expression. It’s a time where you want to feel your most confident, and to show up not simply for your date—but for yourself. And it’s probably no secret that we feel our most confident when we’re in full date night looks that make us comfortable. That goes for our outfit as well as our makeup. And though there’s no wrong way to approach your date night makeup look, you definitely want to make sure you’re donning a look that you love and feel totally confident in.

KISS & MAKEUP
Getting glammed up for date night is a rite of passage, and finding the just-right look can feel daunting. But not with the right makeup essentials. Date night makeup should feel soft and sultry, or pouty and sexy. Setting the mood has never been easier than with Urban Decay in your makeup bag. Here’s how to perfect the date night look, no matter your vibe.
SOFT AND SULTRY
A soft and sultry makeup look is something everyone should have on lock for date night. It’s not overdone—but just right. To achieve the look, first reach for the Quickie 24HR Full Coverage Waterproof Concealer. This dual-ended applicator with built-in brush will ensure all-over coverage. And don’t worry about it lasting. This full-coverage, buildable formula with hydrating Vitamin E will stay in place for up to 24 hours.
Next, reach for the Naked3 Soft Pink Eyeshadow Palette. No sultry look is finished without it. With 12 Rose-Hued Neutral Shades to choose from and a variety of finishes—from ultra-smooth matte to supple satins to glimmering shimmer—these ultra-blendable eyeshadow shades are ultra versatile.
POUTY AND SEXY
The pouty and sexy makeup look is all about drama. And nothing says drama like a strong eye and lip. Few things in this world are more sexy than a winged eyeliner paired with a red lip—and lucky you, we’ve got just the thing to make that happen. Case in point: the Perversion Waterproof Fine Point Eye Pen, the only thing we’re reaching for when cat eye is on the menu. This longwear, easy to apply, waterproof eyeliner will lock in a controlled, precise eye look with its ultra-fine brush tip.
What’s next? The perfect red lip, of course.
The Vice Lipstick in Elote—a matte finish vegan formula with hydrating aloe vera and avocado oil that won’t dry your lips out. This high pigment, longwear lipstick will always go the extra mile, so don’t miss out on the comfy, cushy lipstick formula that turns the volume up on vibrant color for date night. You deserve to make a splash.
90S SUPERMODEL
You know who always got it right, on or off the catwalk? That’s right—90s supermodels. Eyes, often kohl-lined top and bottom, popped under a sheath of layered black mascara. Creating this look doesn’t have to be complicated. Urban Decay makes it easy.
For this look, we’re always (and forever) reaching for the 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil. And it’s not just because it’s the liner that always stays put. No, this ultra-versatile eyeliner has been named number 1 for a reason. Voted Readers’ Choice for best eyeliner in 2021, this vibrant, easy application liner is always within reach. To achieve that high-impact 90s makeup look, opt for a shade like Perversion (our Matte Blackest Black), and apply generously to the lower lid. For the top lid, try a tightlining application with the 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil to achieve a fuller, brighter eye effect—and to increase the impact of your mascara. Speaking of… the only mascara we have eyes for on date night is the Perversion Waterproof Mascara. It’s a full-proof, super-intense, blacker-than-black mascara that won’t quit, no matter where date night takes you. To complete the eye look for date night, try the Naked2 Basics Matte Neutral Eyeshadow palette. Though any shade in this palette will do, Frisk, Cover, Primal, or Undone will work the hardest for your 90s inspired date night look.
The finishing touch? A nude lip with a complementary liner. We’re low-key obsessed with the smudge-proof 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Lip Liner in shade Stark Naked. Finish with the aptly named matte shade, 1993, in our inimitable Vice Lipstick.
