Party make-up inspiration

Party make-up inspiration

Perhaps you love Christmas so much that you’re practically an elf or maybe you just love December for the parties. Whichever it is we’re sure you’re excited about what looks to go for this party season. Whether it’s an office do, a small gathering of your nearest and dearest or a grand yuletide ball, we have a make-up look that’s right for you…

Green with envy

Your friends will be super jealous they didn’t think of this glittery green look first! Go for a deep hue and keep the rest of your make-up minimal. Matching your earrings to your shadow looks amazing too!

Simply red lips

Keep your party look classic and simple by applying ‘barely there’ make-up with a strong red lip colour. The powerful red hue will cause your eyes to sparkle plus there will be minimal upkeep throughout the night for this striking look which goes perfectly with a simple LBD. 

Go for gold

We adore this soft gold look with copious amounts of lengthening mascara for the party season. It’s wonderfully festive without being gaudy and will look great with a variety of outfit colours. 

Pretty in pink

We adore this luminous shade of pink for party season! It’s bold, it’s playful and best of all it’s bright!

True blue

Make an icy entrance to the party with this stunning frosty blue look.

Bronzed goddess

We absolutely love this metallic hue. It has just the right amount of party sparkle with a subtle bronzed base and nude lip to keep your look understated.

Amp up the drama

We’re pretty convinced this amazingly dramatic party look will have you immediately reconsidering black lipstick! Still a shade too dark? Opt for a deep purple to finish off this memorable look.

Subtly smokey eyes

Smokey eyes needn’t require half a pot of black shadow, why not try something a little more subtle? We are completely in love with this delicately smokey eye and its accompanying nude tones.

Keep it simple

If bright colours and dense glitters really aren’t your bag, no problem! Keep it light with this soft dewy look. Make sure your face is well moisturised beforehand and opt for a liquid highlighter to finish off your look.

Shimmer and shine

Add some serious sparkle to your party look with a reflective glittery eyeshadow!
