Your party face needs a good base, which
means skin that is exfoliated once a week and very well moisturised. The next important tip is to use a primer on
top of your moisturiser as this helps seal all that lovely moisture into the
skin.
Many brands now offer long-wear make-up
and as the name suggests it has been especially formulated to last - and so
treat yourself to a long wear foundation at the very least. Apply your foundation with a brush and don’t
be afraid of adding several light layers if you feel your skin needs it. Putting on a powder also helps the foundation
to stay put.
Having applied the perfect base coat now
comes the fun part – adding the drama on the eyes and lips. The smoky eye is still on trend – but feel
free to move away from black. We like
burgundy, grey and wine shades, but experiment with colours that work for you.
One really big look this party season is
glitter – the trick is to use sparingly.
Go for eyes or lips - not both.
We absolutely love a glitter lip and there are lots of brands offering
glitter lip products – just make sure it is kiss proof.
Glitter can also be used on the eye area –
either on the lid, in the corner of the eye, under the brow or even a little
sprinkle underneath the eye.
We always advise having a run through of
your party face before the big night so that you get the look just right.
Have fun and stay safe.
