Starting with a clean canvas is not always an option when your gal pals want to meet up for drinks straight from work! When there's no time to make a pit stop at home (or you're being rushed!), these tricks will take your look from work-appropriate to all-nighter in just two minutes.

1 Minute: Nighttime is all about the smoky eye! Use a product to create some depth and darkness on your lids like the Maybelline Eye Studio Master Smoky Longwearing Shadow Pencil in Black Smoke. Using the shadow stick end, draw on a bold cat eye and don't worry about making it perfect because you'll use the expert smudger on the other end to blend the color out!

30 Seconds: Finish off your smoldering eyes with extreme lashes! Use the Urban Decay Mascara Resurrection on your already mascara-coated peepers to soften your lashes and bring life back to the old, flaking mascara so that you can pile more (and more!) on.

30 Seconds: Take an angled contouring brush and get to workon lightly sculpting your face to perfection! Make a fishy face and apply YSL Les Sahariennes to the hollows of your cheekbones in a swipe or two andto the sides and tip of your nose.Then blend!Have time for a swipe of lip color? Try Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss in Nooner for a glossy look or go for bold with a perfectly imperfect red lippie using Maybelline Lip Studio Color Blur in Partner in Crimson.
