Parties are a great time to pull out all the stops and be bold. You’ve been saving up for these moments a long time, so utilize those creative juices and get out your glitzy party face.
Use these simple ideas the next time you're ready to step out and play! Festive occasions don't come very often so you'll want to be ready with some easy, quick tips to enhance your style and sophistication. Party Makeup Tips Start any look by thoroughly cleaning your face. Set the stage on your face by applying a few coats of water based moisturizer. If you want to give your skin a glow, you can mix it with an skin illuminator . Rub it around with your fingertips before you apply it to warm it up. Wait a few minutes and allow it absorb thoroughly. Then apply your foundation. Use lighter base foundations when you step out for a night on the town. If you want your face to be noticed, choose a lighter than your normal foundation shade. Lighter colored foundations allow lips and eyes to really pop out and be the main focus. Also lighter shades of foundations can help draw your face out of a dim lit room. If you want your skin to look flawless, choose mineral foundations. If you're apt to be out all night, use foundations that last a long time, like Revlon ColorStay foundation or Revlon Photoready Makeup . Set your party makeup foundation by dusting or brushing loose translucent powder all over. Cover Girl Translucent Powder is one of the best on the market! You'll be delighted in how well it works. Use a large makeup brush to thoroughly remove excesses. Add a touch of glow by using Benefit Cosmetics Moon Beam . Maximize your festive look by wearing dark, deep contrasting colors on your eyes and lips. Night time is the right time to get out liquid liners and colored mascara if you want your eyes to look sexy and alluring. Shimmer eyeshadow will make puppy dogs bark and peel off shadows can make applying makeup a breeze! Do whatever it takes to help you look great and do it easily! For your lips, always finish lipstick application with a good lip plumper . Your Angelina Jolie lips will enchant any crowd!
To finish off your party makeup, apply glitter in various, indiscriminate places! Oh my! Try and get a good night's rest the night before the party, especially if you think you'll be staying up really late! Dark circles can really ruin a party! If you can't get a good nights sleep, have a good undereye concealer on hand! For Christmas parties - Wear red lipsticks that shimmer or sparkle. Dress up the eyes by using dark brown, dark green, or black mascara’s and liners. Create rosy cheeks by using pink blushers, or use peach blusher for a storybook type look. Add makeup shimmer if you're feeling foxy!
Informal Parties - Use subtle plays of colors that you might use in the day. Wear colors that enhance your eyes but don’t make them pop out of your head. Use subtle hints of cooler tones like mint green or ice blue. Don't add shimmer unless you just want to. Rosy shades of pinks and matte greens look good on most everyone, so add a few shades to your makeup collection and keep those on hand. You never know when someone might ask you out! Use paler shades and your party makeup will be a hit! Office Parties - Before the party starts, freshen up your makeup by applying another coat of mineral makeup or translucent loose powder. A light dusting is enough to smooth any flaws you might have created during the day. Apply mascara and shadows to help add lift and life to your tired eyes. Use eye drops like Visine to get the red out. Line the inside rim of the eyes with a white eyeliner to make eyes look whiter and more alert. Add color where you can and when you can. Be sure to add a fresh coat of lipstick or lip shimmer for a look other office people won’t soon forget.

Smokey eyes are great for evening parties. Wear smoky eyes for a knockout look in dark restaurants or nightclubs. Rubbing ice on your skin for 5 to 10 minutes before you apply makeup helps shrink your pores and makes for smoother makeup application. Of course, if you aren't going home, this won't be a practical tip for your party makeup! Gold, copper, and silver liners add festive touches to your makeup instantly. Copper lipsticks looks good on just about everyone but especially with red or brown hair. Pearly brown shadow's and pink lip colors look classy and subtle at the same time. For a pulled together look, paint your fingernails using the same pearly brown or pink color. For the largest collection of colors, look for OPI nail polishes . Add a touch of sparkle to your cleavage and neck (especially if you're wearing a low cut shirt or dress) and add more sparkle on your brow bones if you'll be in a darker environment. Glitter draws attention to your skin and make you dazzle! Add two or more coats of black mascara for parties! Add a touch of blue, green, purple, or pink mascara only to the tips of your lashes. Your eyes will reflect more color and you'll look great! Stick with the makeup colors you already know look good on you! Experimenting with new colors before a party might not be a good choice, especially if they don't look fabulous! You'll just have to start over again if you don't like what you see! To keep makeup from wiping or wearing off, use a makeup primer like Lorel Magic Perfecting Base before you apply makeup! When it comes to party makeup, always use waterproof mascara so it doesn't smudge on you. This is especially true if you think you'll be dancing a lot! Raccoons are cute, but not when you're partying it up!Remember, it's your party and you don't want to ruin it! It's your time to sparkle and shine! Your personality and confidence will lead the way for makeup application. Wear party makeup only if you feel comfortable wearing it... but a better idea is to get outside your comfort zone and live it up a little, party girl!
