Whether a night out on the town is a regular occurrence or a special occasion in your life, every woman wants to look and feel her best when strutting her stuff. With the proper products and application, your nights can go from hesitation to happiness!
The first step in flawless makeup is a great base. Start with emerginC’s Red Carpet Primer ($42, www.emerginc.com). This will help conceal large pores, instantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fill in fine lines with a silicone infused silky application.
Light Diffusing Makeup by Napoleon Perdis ($42, shop.napoleonperdis.com) offers women a hypoallergenic liquid formula that smoothes fine lines and refines while special hydrators give a velvet-like feel. If you are looking for a bit more coverage, try the Foundation Stick ($39). This double beauty duty base provides the desired coverage, is the perfect concealer – setting to a matte finish. Sheer Genuis ($59) offers exceptional hydrogel technology to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, creating a weightless veil of luminous coverage. For the lady on the go, Napoleon Perdis offers Camera Finish ($40), a silk finish powder foundation compact, 3-in-1 that conceals, covers and sets.
Now that your face is prepped, it’s time for color, color, color! With spirited colors like Ruby Slippers, Lilac Maniac and Back to the Fuchsia ($25), “It’s easy to lust after this dust,” says Napoleon Perdis. Pro Tip: Use clear Lip Lacquer with the loose dust to create a dramatically colorful eye with strong staying power. Brushes, tweezers and q-tips are all important tools in a girls makeup application. Make sure your brushes are freshly cleaned to avoid passing along color used on a previous application or bacteria. EcoTOOLS offer a wide variety of items to perfect your look. The Bamboo 5-Piece Travel Brush Set ($9.99, www.ecotools.com) is one of my favorites and easily fits into any bag while on the go. The blush brush provides the exact coverage you want when accentuating your cheekbones. Aubrey Organics offer a wide variety of colors to match your skin tone. Silken Earth Powder Blush ($11.95, www.aubrey-organics.com) is a silk-based blush and contour powder adds color and contrast where you want it to highlight your best features and brighten your complexion for a soft, natural look. Madame Curl Curl ($25) by Napoleon Perdis is the ultimate eye-opener, seductively bending the will of the most stubborn lash and delivering an eye-enhancing curl which lasts throughout the day and night. The super-flexible film both lengthens and lifts while it coaxes lashes into good health with a dose of much needed moisture.
Finish up your look with Skindinavia’s 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish ($29, www.skindinavia.com). It’s lightweight and won’t clog pores like thick petroleums can. Its six moisturizers alleviate dry and/or powdery appearance on makeup surface, making you look healthy and youthful with just a light mist! Plus, it will keep your cream blushes and foundation intact throughout the night! |
