All of us have been in situations when we are at work, dreaming about a relaxed Friday night in bed, curled with an interesting read, when suddenly an impromptu party plan comes up! Only for you to realise, that your makeup needs an upgrade to be more party appropriate.

Well, fret not! We are here to help you with a fool-proof guide to go from office chic to party-ready in just 5 minutes.

 

Avoid foundation from looking cakey

This is probably the lengthiest step, but it is so worth it. Never redo your foundation on already existing product that you’ve been wearing all day. This makes your makeup look cakey and may cause breakouts. Wash your face, wipe it clean and then apply a fresh coat of the Lakmé Absolute Argan Oil Serum Foundation With SPF 45 foundation for the flawless, dewy finish.

 

Put on the blush, baby

While your long lasting base makeup maybe on point, applying the right amount of blush makes all the difference to take your look from day to night. Apply a darker, more prominent shade, preferably with shimmer, such as the Lakmé Absolute Illuminating Blush Shimmer Brick that will beautifully add a pop of your colour to your face.

 

Accentuate your eyes

To make your eye makeup more party appropriate, just sweep on some shimmer eyeshadow such as the Lakmé 9 To 5 Eye Quartet Eyeshadow - Silk Route for an effortless glam. But if you don’t have any eyeshadow on you, you can simply apply a thick layer of the Lakmé Eyeconic Kajal on your upper lid and immediately smudge it out for an intense smokey eye look. Just add some winged eyeliner and oodles of mascara for an added impact.

 

Put on a darker lip shade
