Mastering the art of evening makeup is often more about switching it up a gear on the go than it is about precise technique. Much as we’d enjoy spending some quality downtime getting ready, reality more often demands a quick turnaround for a night on the town. In this feature, we round up seven products perfect for transforming yourself between day and play. Many are multitasking; all are effective and easy to use. Here comes your no-sweat party prep.

HK$760.00
Your vamped-up look complete, a few dabs of scent will send you on your nocturnal way. Super-chic fragrance label Le Labo does small roll-on versions of some of its cult scents, providing the handbag-friendly option.
