The party invitations are already dropping through the door (or into your inbox), so it’s time to start working on your party beauty look. Christmas is one time of year when you can go all-out with fierce, false lashes, luxe, heady scents and add a striking shimmer with glitter. But you’ll have to fit all your beauty essentials into a small clutch, so prioritise what you need to take out with you over what you can leave at home. Eyeliner, lipcolour and a powder for touch-ups are a must when you’re on the go. Here’s ELLE’s round-up of the best party pieces to take you from now to the New Year.
