After you’ve spent hours sourcing the perfect party outfits, the last thing you want to do is spend even more time worrying about your makeup. Our foolproof solution: a simple updo with a little bit of volume paired with glowing skin and the perfect pink lip. Trust us, this is one look you’ll come back to again and again.
A sleek bun is always chic, but a little volume takes it to the next level. To get the look, section off a good amount of hair at the crown of your head and then reach for your trusty Spornette Little Wonder brush. Using short quick motions, build hair up until you have a satisfactory poof. Next, smooth hair back into a bun. Don’t be shy about using bobby pins or spray to help you get the perfect shape.
The key to gorgeous makeup: glowing skin. To get that subtle radiance (which, by the way, photographs beautifully) prep skin with By Terry’s Hyaluronic Face Glow. This tinted makeup base hydrates skin and has light-reflecting particles that minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Essentially, it will make you look good from every angle.
Parties are all about being bright, which means it’s almost sacrilege to attend an event without some serious lip color. We teamed up with one of our favorite cosmetics companies, Jouer, to create a custom fuchsia shade that is perfect for stashing in your clutch this season. Wear a couple swipes to get a cheerful rosy color like Natalie Portman’s or apply it over a richly pigmented lipstick to amp up the color and shine factor.
