How to Serve Bombshell on a Night Out
We all want to look and feel our best on a night out! Many of us have Pinterest boards filled with hair, makeup and outfit ideas for our next night out on the town. We here at The Edge have some tips for you to achieve the perfect Bombshell look this weekend!
Bouncy Blowout
To achieve a fabulous bouncy blowout, start by applying a non-crunchy mousse, such as Amika’s Plus Size Volume and Body Mousse, while your hair is still damp to add volume. Always prioritize heat protection; while the Amika mousse includes heat protection, Kérestase’s Discipline Heat Protectant is an excellent choice if you struggle with frizz. Create a stunning blowout by using rollers, a Dyson, or a curling iron — whichever method gives you your dream look. Finally, finish off your style with a flexible hairspray like the Amika Fluxus Touchable Hairspray to maintain that gorgeous bounce without stiffness.
Smokey Eye
The perfect way to serve bombshell on a night out is to enhance your eyes with a dramatic smokey eye. While it might seem intimidating, blending a dark purple in the outer corner can create a gorgeous effect. Add some glitter on the lid to make your eyes truly stand out. Finish the look by creating a smoked-out wing with black eyeshadow and a small, angled brush. Tarte offers fantastic eyeshadow palettes, and the Tartelette Eyeshadow Palette is ideal for this look, featuring a perfect mix of light and dark shades to help you create the ultimate night-out look.
Lips
If you want to achieve the perfect lip combo we here at The Edge highly recommend a darker lip liner, lipstick and plenty of gloss! A combination of Charlotte Tilbury Iconic Nude lip liner and the MAC Silky Matte Lipstick in Viva Planet provides the perfect definition. To finish, apply a plumping lip gloss like Patrick Ta’s Major Volume Gloss in Obviously, which will make your lips look fuller and add a beautiful shine. Be sure to carry your lip combo with you throughout the night for easy touch-ups. We also recommend having a designated going-out lip gloss that you don’t mind losing, so you can enjoy the night without worrying about misplacing your favorite lippy on the dance floor!

Fragrance
Looking like a bombshell is important, but smelling like one is just as crucial. Everyone has their own fragrance preferences — if you lean towards sweet, vanilla scents, you might love Billie Eilish’s Eilish Eau Parfum or KAYALI’s VANILLA | 28, both of which are warm and inviting. For those who prefer a more powerful, sexy aroma, Kylie Jenner’s Cosmic and YSL’s Libre are sure to get you loads of compliments all night. If you’re seeking the perfect balance of sexy and sweet, consider Glossier You or Ariana Grande’s Cloud. These choices are undeniably delicious and long-lasting, ensuring you smell fantastic all night long.
Body Care
The last tip we at The Edge have for you is to use body care products that will leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and glowy. Before heading out, apply a delicious-smelling lotion like EOS Vanilla Cashmere, which is one of the best drugstore options available. To truly glow like a bombshell, body shimmer is a fantastic way to add both bronze and shine. Applying shimmer to your collarbones and shoulders will make you feel like an absolute goddess. Some of the top choices for body shimmer include the DIBS Beauty Status Stick and the Patrick Ta Major Glow Balm, ensuring you radiate confidence all night long.
