Top tips for perfect party makeup


Get your makeup bag at the ready and supe-up your skills as the party season is almost upon us. With impromptu shindigs, office dos and family get-togethers on the horizon, now’s the time to experiment with some bold and beautiful looks. Our top tips will help you stay fresh, no matter how hard you party, and will see you through the season in super-sparkling style!

Face time
The festive period is one of the most socially demanding in the style calendar, with sun-starved days and late nights all taking their toll. Give winter skin some oomph by exfoliating regularly and applying a moisturiser with a hint of fake tan. Olay’s Total Effects Touch of Sun is a fabulous find. Couple it with a flawless foundation, such as Max Factor’s Ageless Elixir 2in1 Foundation +Serum and a dab of illuminating Mastertouch Concealer wherever your skin lacks lustre. 




Party eyes
Nothing says sexy like a smoky eye and Max Factor’s Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow will take your look from day to night in seconds. The secret is its simple-to-use double-ended applicator. Use Step One to create a wash of colour across your eyelid and Step Two to shade and contour. For a bold party look that’s bang on trend this season, try Indigo Mist, a dazzling mauve / turquoise number. A sweep of Max Factor’s Dip-In Eyeshadow in Ultra Violet (05) along the lower lash line will make your eyes pop like a dream.


On the lash
Fabulously fluttersome lashes shout instant glamour and there are lots of fantastic falsies out there to try. Don’t fancy the fiddle? Then try Max Factor’s False Lash Effect FUSION mascara. It delivers 100% more length and volume verses bare lashes, so you get a high impact look with minimal fuss. 



All that glitters
Shimmer your way through the shindigs, by applying a touch of sparkle to the inner corner of your eyes, to the very tops of your cheekbones and to the centre of your lips. Glitter can look gaudy if over-loaded but a light dusting feels ultra festive and will help your look shine. Try Max Factor’s Dip-In Eyeshadows which come in a variety of shimmering shades and a pop of Max Effect Lip Gloss in Ivory for a high shine finish. 




Screen siren lips
If you’re more of a lips than an eyes girl, get the party started with a show-stopping pout. Max Factor’s Colour Elixir Lipsticks are a go-to tool for makeup artists, delivering punchy colour, while moisturising and conditioning the lips. A crimson pout is a must-have this season, so try the Ruby Tuesday (715) shade. For something darker and a tad more fruity, try Mulberry (685) – berry nice indeed!



Kiss me quick
Not into lippie, but looking to for something super-soft for those under-the-mistletoe moments? Try a quick dab of Max Factor’s Xperience Sheer Gloss Balm. This luscious lip-fix offers a light way to wear colour and will keep your mouth super-smooth and ready for some Christmas crackers!




Party fingers nailed
When it comes to partying, finishing touches count. Match your lips to your nails for super sophisticated style, or opt for scarlet red to give your mitts glamorous glitz. Max Factor’s Max Effect Mini Nail Polish in Ruby Tusday looks fabulous and can be topped-up on the go.
