Party Make up

Getting ready for a party? Better start an hour or two in advance. A full face make up requires at least dedicated 30 minutes to put on. But who has that kind of time?
Try one of these get-gorgeous quick tips instead. After all, you don't want to be late to the party.

First and foremost identify the areas that need a little extra attention and are most time taking. The key is to enhance your best features and make your not-so-good features a little subdued.
A woman's eyes and smile tend to catch the most attention. Another feature that can make or break your complete look is your hair. Wear them according to the type and place of the party. Do not go over-board and as far as possible try to keep it natural looking and classy.

Lets start with applying a basic moisturizer followed by a primer and then foundation that matches your skin-tone. Do not cake your face. The secret is to do your everyday makeup, then apply an illuminating lotion with a subtle sheen in three areas: the tops of your cheekbones, just under your brows, and on the inner corners of your eyes. This creates an over-all glow that looks natural.

Next, enhance your eyes with a swipe of liquid liner or a regular black pencil, right along the lash line, inner just to the outer corner. If you have big beautiful eyes avoid making the lining too thick. 


Time to work on that pout now. First, prep your lips with a balm (it sheers out the color), then apply the lipstick with your finger for a softer effect. Make sure the lip liner and lip colour are not five shades apart. If you are going for a bold or bright shade, play down the rest of your face. Deep-orange, plum and fuchsia shades are a more modern way to rock the bold lip look.

A matching or contrasting (whatever your style is) shade of nail paint, a bit of blush and soft eye shadow are all you need to complete the look.
At last wear your hair whatever way is most comfortable for you. You do not want to fuss over settling them down the entire time or run to the washroom every fifteen minutes to check if they look fine.

Voila, you're good to go!
