Throw a "Makeup Secrets" Party with Girlfriends

It is always great to share makeup secrets with your girlfriends and find out some new tips for yourself. The best way to ask what one of your girlfriend's secrets is, is to throw a makeup secrets party. The best way to compliment yourself and your friends is to ask them tips about their clear skin or flawless foundation. A makeup secrets party with your girlfriends should be casual and compliment the fact that you and your friends are women, with a little bit of traditional girlfriend food and party favors.

Send Out Invitations

I love to send out professional invitations, but if you are not willing to spend the money search for some clip art for your makeup secrets party or send your girlfriends a personalized card, made with supplies from a craft store. I personally love the colorful invitations at Expressions Paperie, and enjoy the fact that you are able to order smaller quantities than at a normal invitations website. I love sending these invitations to my girlfriends when I plan a party, because they are casual and trendy for a makeup party. Make sure to list that it is a makeup secrets party, and add a note that they should bring the items they use, to demonstrate their makeup secrets.

Get Ready For the Party

When I decorate for a party with girlfriends, I usually make my home a comfortable atmosphere, like a spa. I bring out big pillows and sit them around the coffee table, and on the couches. I would add a table cloth to the dinning room table, so the food is presented in a nice way. I usually lay the party favor bags I've put together around the coffee table or on a hall way table, so we can use them while we are trading secrets. Mirrors are another good thing to have on the tables, so your girlfriends have something to look at themselves in, while they demonstrate the makeup secrets they are sharing.

Party Favors

I almost always get my supplies from Yves Rocher USA, they always have sales and budget items, perfect for party favors. Purchase some small or medium makeup bags and fill them with budget items from the website. They offer wonderful products and kits, if you'd rather not build your own makeup bags. While you place your order for your party favors, be sure to order additional makeup remover for your girlfriends to use at the makeup secrets party.

It's Not a Party Without The Food

If you know your girlfriends, you will know what kind of snacks they like. Make a lite and cold dinner, that doesn't require you to cook during the party. Try an oriental salad with chicken, or a pasta salad with slices of lean steak and low-fat dressing on the site. One of my favorite things is a chocolate fountain, and it's perfect for a makeup secrets party with girlfriends. Cut up fruit, candy bars and anything else you like chocolate covered and lay them out on a big platter. Keep the chocolate fountain on the coffee table after you are finished with dinner and your secrets, while you chat over some fondue style snacks.

Your girlfriends will love having a makeup secret party at your house and will probably ask you to make plans for a follow-up party before they leave. Throw a party a month later, so every one can share what secrets worked for them, and if they found any new products.

Make sure your girlfriends are aware that they shouldn't share eye or lip makeup, at your party to keep it safe.Sources:
