Ultimate Party Beauty Guide






Read the tips, so you can be fabulous at your next event!

A Week Before
Drink Up: Drink lots of water starting from a week prior to the event. Drinking at least 8 glasses a day with revitalize and rejuvenate your body before party night.

Break a Sweat: Try to get in a bit of exercise to loosen up the body and relieve any tension or stress. If you have no time to hit the gym, try some quick exercises at home.

Say No to Salt: Try and avoid overly salty foods on days leading up to the event. Salt causes bloating, water retention which is just plain uncomfortable.

The Night Before
Catch Some Zzzz's: You definitely want to look alive during your party, so get some major rest! Go to bed a little earlier than your usual bedtime. If you didn't get enough sleep, try cucumbers or an eye serum to reduce dark circles or puffiness and use an eye-brightener on your eyes.

The Day Of
Soak Up: Take a nice, hot, relaxing bath before getting ready. It will hydrate the body and relieve tension possibly caused by work or a face-paced environment.

Eat: Grab a decent bite to eat before going out to drink. It will keep you in control of the drinks, and likely, you'll drink less! Plus it reduces the chances of you being sick (i.e. your head in a public toilet) at the end of the night.

Right Before
Glow: Give yourself a nice glow with a shimmer lotion. It'll highlight your skin tone and make your skin look amazing. Avoid tanning too close to the party date, since there is a chance the tan might look strange or too strong.

Shape-wear: For whatever type of dress you may be wearing, wear the proper undergarments. If the dress is a real curve-hugger or clingy, why not try shape-wear which will flatten and instantly tone the body.

Nails: Try a festive nail color to stand out.

Makeup: Choose a focus, whether it be the eyes, cheeks or lips and accentuate only that with a bold color or dramatic touches. For the rest of the face, try and keep it somewhat neutral for an overall put-together and classy look.

Perfume: Do not go overboard on the scent. Go really bold on the fragrance, and try something new and unexpected; the exotic smell will be enticing and make you the life of the party!
