Everything You Need For The Essential Party Season Make-Up Kit
Get your skin ready for festive season with these high-voltage party essentials.
The Christmas party season can be a troublesome time when it comes to beauty. It seems like there's always another work party where we've got to keep an eye on how many champagne flutes we've had, not to mention keeping our make-up intact.
Our go-to party look usually involves a smokey eye and a lot of heavy glitter but, alas, this isn't exactly the most practical make-up ever. With heavy chunks of glitter comes a lot of fall-out, which can be disastrous on the dance floor. No one needs to be trying to remove flakes of glitter from their eyes whilst simultaneously trying to perform a karaoke sing-along to Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas'. We're multitaskers but not to that extent.
Don't get us started on the red lipstick that ends up on the rim of our glass rather than our actual lips...
From wine-inspired pouts, to how to keep your foundation from melting, to keeping your hair sleek all night long, we've got all the best tips and tricks from the beauty pros who know how to nail the sophisticated festive party look (no glitter needed).
