Party Makeup Tips: How to Make an Entrance at Your Next Big Event

Want to make a stunning appearance at a party or big event? Follow these tips and you will be sure to turn heads.

One of the biggest mistakes women make before a big event is to get a facial and wax the day of or before. Bad idea. You could develop a bad reaction resulting in a rash, redness, hives, or any number of visible irritations. A general rule is to take care of facials and waxing 3 to 12 days before.

If you are looking to drop some lbs but don't have enough time don't stress. There are plenty of ways to fake being skinny. One thing you might want to try is a detox. And I don't mean a fast. Starving your body to lose weight is unhealthy even if you are only doing it for a few days. Instead try a reputable detox system. It will help you lose a couple of pounds, give you energy, and rid your body of toxins along with other benefits. David Kirsch has a couple of detox kits that are popular with trainers and celebrities. Always consult your physician before doing a detox.

Another way to slim your body fast is by using slimming caffeine creams. These temporarily reduce fat and cellulite. Bliss has a series of creams called Fat Girl Slim. The cream in conjunction with proper shapewear will work wonders. Spanx and Dr Rey have a great shapewear line. Also drink lots of water at least the week before to rid your body of toxins, hydrate your body, and to give your skin a glow.

The day before or day of, a mani/pedi is a must. Try going for a high drama color that does not have shimmer or glitter. Deep reds, chocolate browns, or plums are sure to make a statement. Also, an at home radiance mask is a great way to give your skin an instant glow. You could try Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Brightening Mask or Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Revealing Mask. Make sure you have tried this mask at least once before without experiencing irritation.

On the day of the party exfoliate and moisturize your whole body. You might want to try a low shimmer lotion on the legs and décolleté. Try Soap & Glory Glow Lotion or Michael Kors Leg Shine. Also try depuffing the eye area with cucumbers or wet green tea bags.

As for makeup, choose a focal point. Either go for drama in the eyes or lips. Don't go for both because you might end up as the night's entertainment as the party clown. Be sure not to wear a foundation or face primer that has SPF because products with spf have light reflecting particles which make you turn out like a ghost in photos.

Follow these tips and add your own aspects of your routine to party the night away.
