Party Ready Makeup in 5 Minutes or Less

With New Year’s Eve around the corner, I wanted to show you how to get party ready makeup in 5 minutes or less. The key is to have just a few essentials handy that will transform your look from day to night in record time

PREPARE A PARTY MAKEUP KIT

Make a little party kit makeup bag that you can store anywhere that is convenient. For example, your office desk, your glove compartment or simply keep it in your bathroom to eliminate you having to waste time scrounging up the necessary supplies. Here is what should be inside:

Makeup Priming & Setting Spray (my favorite)

Concealer ( I love this one and this one)

Glitter Cream Shadow. I love this Pixi one, because it doesn’t go everywhere and just stays on your lid

Pre-glued False Lashes. I love these pre-glued ones

Bright Lipstick. I used this one in the tutorial.

Highlighter. This one is a favorite.

Sparkly Earrings or Barrette. These are so pretty.

Build on your existing makeup

The key is to build on the makeup you are already wearing and enhance that, instead of starting from scratch. Spray a little setting spray to refresh your already existing makeup and then fix any areas that need a bit of extra coverage with a concealer or a little foundation that you have stored in your contact lense case.

Focus on the eyes

Pop on a sparkly cream shadow with your fingers and blend it out. Then apply your pre-glued lashes. They are so easy and so fun.

Highlight

Get that red carpet glow with strategically placed cream highlighter on the top of your cheekbones, your cupid’s bow and down the bridge of your nose.
