Jeff and I rarely go out just the two of us.  Actually, for this date night, my parents were supposed to come down to DC, but they both were sick!  We decided to keep our babysitter and head out just the two of us.

Now that the Wharf is a hot spot in DC, we love checking out the new restaurants there.  We planned to stop in to Rappahannock Oyster Bar before our reservation, but it was packed!  Instead we headed to the bar at our restaurant, Officinia, and ordered some cocktails – An Aperol Spritz for me and a Negroni for Jeff.

For my date night outfit, I really wanted to wear this new white blazer from Zara and my leopard print heels.  To pull the look together, I added this cute cami I purchased from Forever 21 last year and my tried and true essential, Spanx faux leather leggings. For my shoes, I’ve had these LK Bennett heels for years, so they are no longer available.  But check out these and these.

If you follow my Instagram stories, I included a Get Ready with Me session where I did all my full makeup look for the evening. It was really fun, and I plan to do more in the future.  If you missed it, don’t worry.  I’m sharing all the details here…

1. I prepped my skin with the Indie Lee Squalane facial oil.  My skin is still really dry with the cold weather
2. Next, I put my Dew Skin No. 3 all over my face for a nice glow
3. Since the middle of my face is a little red, I then used a flat foundation brush to cover my nose, chin and under eyes with the Tint Skin.  Update:  I just heard this amazing trick to use this facial mist to even out the redness in your face before your makeup
4. I then used my concealer for more under eye coverage
5. For my brows, I’ve been using this new brow gel, which is super fun.
6. My cami was a reddish brown so I gravitated towards that color family for my eye shadow.  I used the shade Suede on my lids, Ivory on my brow bone and Cinnamon for the crease.
7. A little brown eyeliner
8. Finishing off my eyes, my favorite mascara
9. I then used a contour brush to apply my blush, which is no longer available.  But I also like this one in Nectar.  (ps, a great way to get this look is this set, or this one}
10. Lastly, this highlighter on my cheeks
11. For my lips, I kept the brown/nude theme and went with Brunch topped by some Bare Shimmer.
