nightlife in rio de janeiro is fun and light-hearted, just like its people, and this vibrancy is reflected in the fashion sense of cariocas at night  - especially for women who enjoy being fabulous out on the town, it helps to learn about current trending styles and watch out for local fashions - overall at night, the main objective should be to stay comfortable enough to dance samba all night long.

brazilian women are famously known for not wearing a lot of makeup - a summer tan and some mascara is usually the most to be seen, even at night, - for moments within special occasions or at high end venues a complimenting lipstick, blush or bronzer might come in handy.
