You work hard in the day with just a simple goal in mind — to party harder in the evening! But then the endless presentations, meetings and traffic leave you with just enough time to reach home, dress up and head out. But you can't possibly enter a party looking anything less than a diva, can you? If you just nodded your head in agreement, then let us help you go from plain to glam in a jiffy. Ahead, we’ve put together an easy-peasy step-by-step guide to look party-ready in a jiffy.
- Step #1: Get your base right
- Step #2: Sweep some blush
- Step #3: Work on your eye makeup
- Step #4: Pucker your pout
Step #1: Get your base right

Your base is the heart and soul of your makeup look, so it’s important to get it right no matter how crunched for time you are. Now, we know you don’t have time for the whole shebang. So, we got a quick and easy alternative for you. All you need to do is mix a few drops of the Lakmé Lumi Cream with your foundation and apply it to your face. This lightweight moisturiser comes with a hint of highlighter that gives your skin a 3D glow.
Step #2: Sweep some blush

Once your base is set, it’s time to sweep some blush on your cheeks. This will help add a healthy flush of colour to your face. Take the Lakmé Absolute Face Stylist Blush Duos - Rose Blush on your fluffy brush and apply even strokes along your cheeks. This blush blends effortlessly on your skin and lends a silky finish to it.
Step #3: Work on your eye makeup

Now, with your base and blush in place, it’s time to work on your eye makeup. Since you’re short of time, ditch the eyeshadow, and sweep on a shimmery eyeliner like the Lakmé Absolute Shine Line Eye Liner - Shimmery Bronze instead. The super pigmented formula gives a rich payoff that lasts for long hours. Next, sweep 2-3 coats of the Lakmé Eyeconic Volume Mascara on your lashes. This water-resistant formula offers instant volume and its lightweight won’t weigh your lashes down — hurray!
Step #4: Pucker your pout

It’s time to seal the deal! Since the rest of your makeup is pretty neutral, it’s time to pucker your pout with a bold lipstick. Pick a flattering shade of red like the Lakmé Absolute Precision Lip Paint - Statement Red and sweep it all over your lips. With its expert lip brush, it offers pro-like precision and an intense colour payoff. And you’re done!
