Nars Oil-free primer, £24, at Space NK, for stockists call 0208 740 2085
This gel-cream glides on to skin and leaves a smooth, slightly matte finish that’s perfect for applying base. Best of all it really does last for hours, so you won’t need any mid-party touch ups.

ghd Final Fix Hairspray, £3.95 for 75ml, at www.ghdhair.com
The beauty of this strong-hold hairspray is not only the flexibility it gives (it can be easily brushed out and re-styled) but also the weather resistant finish, meaning you can go from hot house party to watching the fireworks outside and your style will stay put.

Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner, £16.50, at Selfridges
This stuff is top of make-up artists’ wish lists for a reason - its silky texture creates fluid flicks in an instant. Thanks to its gel formula it doesn’t crease when your eyelids move so stays put until you decide to take it off.

Diptyque Eau Duelle Solid Perfume, £28, at www.diptyqueparis.co.uk
The waxy base of this festive scent (it’s packed with vanilla and spice notes) adheres to skin beautifully, which means it stays put far longer than a few squirts would do.

John Frieda Luxurious Volume Anytime Refresher Spray, £5.59, at John Frieda
A large dollop of this dried into your roots will guarantee gentle but long-lasting root lift. The genius bit, though, is that it leaves your hair with a little natural movement (perfect for dancing) so that it doesn’t look stiff or too done.

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder, £29, at House of Fraser
One layer of this finely milled powder over a finished face is enough to hold everything in place. Swirl a large brush into the pot, tap off the excess then buff into skin for a flawless, lightweight finish.
Setting Powder
