It8217;s a big event, one where flash bulbs pop incessantly. Today the dress code is more relaxed and you can choose from a slinky gown to a simple slip dress. However, no mater how low-key the new relaxed dress code 8211; hair, nails and make-up remain polished to perfection. Today there8217;s a wonderful lightness about the new evening beauty. There8217;s also far more impact in keeping it simple, even if its a big soiree.

If you8217;re wearing a colour like red, keep everything bare except for the red lips and nails. Or if you8217;re wearing a slinky dress, sweep shimmery body powder around your cheekbones and shoulders and wear a little lipgloss and mascara. Put your hair up in a French Chignon or go in for a mass of ringlets zig-zag partitions, quiffs and braids make up the look. You may be able to dance all through the night but can your makeup stay put that long? A few tricks with a few helpful cosmetics can keep the night and you fresh.

The essential selection would include a sheer base, which could be either a foundation or a compact. Don8217;t opt for both. For lips try non-transfer lipsticks which means you can eat and drink as much as you want and your lipstick will look as fresh as before. You could try lip crayons. Enhance your lashes with mascara that can be used coat after coat and keep the impact on eyes with new two-in-one eye shadow which when mixed with water also becomes eyeliner. If there is one way to modernise night-time make up gloss is it. Body shimmer also adds a great sheen to bared shoulders, collar bones and legs while cream blushes gives a natural flush to the skin. Now that you8217;ve got your act together go ahead and wow everybody!

A word of caution though. However late you get back home, take out ten minutes to remove your make-up. Make-up left on added to late night partying not only clogs up pores and toxifies your systems, it quickens the ageing process. Go for the eyes first and use an eye make-up remover. Next wash the face with a soap free face wash. Now go ahead and get yourself enough shut-eye.
