The Christmas Party season is officially
open, which means it’s time for a quick and easy makeup transformation. Most
probably in the ladies bathroom. Classy times, I know. It’s not the most desirable of places but sometimes it has
to be done when your dressing table is not an option. I’ve got you covered
though, so fear not! All you need is a handful of easy-to-slap on products,
which will get your everyday office makeup from bare-there to oh-so-glamorous
and party-ready. The list of products goes as follows…
Even though I always like to go for
budge-proof base makeup when I’m going out, things may still need a bit of
freshening up. I like to start by topping my foundation with my trusty Lancome Miracle Cushion Foundation (here / review). It adds a bit of coverage, as well as injects some moisture
back into my skin. It goes on beautifully and doesn’t disturb the makeup
underneath – fab. If you don’t want
to go down the foundation route though, you can always pop some concealer under
your eyes and on any spots that may have be peeking through. The Soap & Glory Kick Ass (here / review) is perfect as it comes in two shades – one for the eye area
and one for blemishes. Then simply dust some powder all over the face to take
away any shine and to help set everything in place. Chanel Les Beiges (here
/ review) is always my powder of
choice as it blends like a dream and adds a touch of coverage without looking
caked on.
By the end of the working day chances are
your blush and bronzer are nowhere to be seen, so reapplication is in order.
Enhance those cheekbones and warm thing up with a touch of bronzing powder and
you’re good to go. My favorite as of late is the Bare Minerals Ready Bronzer (here),
which ticks all the boxes with its buttery, easy-to-blend formula. For some added
color simply dust some blush on the apples of your cheeks. I love Benefit Rockateur (here / review) for
nights out as it highlights the area beautifully and makes mu skin look dewy
and fresh.
For eyes, you can’t go wrong with a speedy smokey
eye and the Kiko Eyeshadow Stick in #6 Golden Brown (here / review) is the
bomb. The bronze-y shade is absolutely gorgeous and the metallic finish is the
perfect touch for any party. It’s completely foolproof to use and it stays on
until you say so. If you want to add more drama into your makeup then you can’t
go wrong with eyeliner. It’s a bit tricky to apply with mascara on, but it
makes the biggest difference, so in my makeup bag it goes. I love the Loreal Super Liner Perfect Slim (here) as it’s offers great precision
and the tip is perfect for creating both thin and thick wing.
When I think Christmas Party I instantly
think red lip. It’s the ultimate seasonal must-have, isn’t it! Red lipstick
tends to be a bit hard to apply on the go though and that’s why I opted for the
Maybelline Color Drama Velvet Lip Pencil
in Light It Up (review). The
bright classic red share is to die for and compliments all skin tones
beautifully. It is super easy and faff-free to apply and the best part is that
it stays in tact for hours, regardless of the number of cocktails I’m having.
Just make sure you steer clear of the mistletoe because this baby transfers. A lot.
No one has time for complex hairstyles
post-work, so it’s all about getting texture. Just spritz some texturizing
spray through your locks, give them a scrunch and voila – hello voluminous
party-ready hair! I can’t live without my Charles
Worthington Texturizing Spray (here
/ review), which never fail to
deliver all the right amounts of oomph to my strands. Last but not least, spritz
on your favorite perfume and you’re done! Mine pick is Chloe Eau de Parfum (here)
– it’s just divine! Go give it asniff
ladies and add it to your Christmas wishlist!
Have you tried any of these
products? Which is your number one Christmas party essential?
Lots of love,
Andrea
The KIKO eyeshadow stick is absolutely stunning and I think it would great for a party, I still haven't gotten any of their shadows. The Chloe perfume smells incredible but right now I'm loving more vanilla scents.
