Master The Art Of Party Makeup

Makeup is more than just a way to enhance your features—it's a form of self-expression and a way to boost your confidence. When it comes to parties, the right makeup can make you feel like the best version of yourself. Daytime parties call for a fresh, natural look that highlights your beauty without being too overpowering, while nighttime parties give you the chance to experiment with bolder, more dramatic styles.

Choosing the right makeup look for the occasion helps you feel confident and ensures that your makeup looks good and lasts throughout the event. So, whether you're heading to a brunch with friends or a glitzy evening affair, we've got you covered with two stunning makeup looks that will make you the star of the party.

For a daytime party, you want a day party makeup look that's fresh, natural, and radiant. This look enhances your features without being too heavy, making it perfect for events like brunches, garden parties, or casual get-togethers.

• Cleanse and moisturise your face.
• Apply a pore-filling primer like the Lakmē Absolute Unreal Blur Perfect Primer to create a smooth canvas and help your makeup stay put.

• Use a full-coverage foundation for a flawless finish. The Lakmē Facelift Foundation Stick is the best foundation for a night party makeup look. Blend it well with a sponge or brush.
• Apply concealer under your eyes, the centre of your forehead, the bridge of your nose, and your chin. Blend well.

• Lightly dust a translucent powder over your face to set the foundation and concealer.

• Apply a natural, peachy blush like Lakmē 9 to 5 Powerplay Velvet Crème Blush - Soft Coral to the apples of your cheeks.

A: For oily skin, use a mattifying primer to control shine. For dry skin, opt for a hydrating primer to add moisture. If you have combination skin, use a primer that addresses specific areas, like a mattifying primer for your T-zone and a hydrating primer for your cheeks.

A: To make your makeup last, start with a primer, use a long-wearing foundation and concealer, and set your makeup with a translucent powder. Finish with a setting spray to lock everything in place.
