Diary full of festive celebrations? Here’s how to master a soft glam party season look that’ll take you from desk to dinner – with a hint of festive sparkle.
Step 1: A flawless base.
Skin prep is a must for long-lasting, photo-ready makeup, so always start with a great, skin-smoothing moisturiser. A couple of options: Smart Clinical Repair™ Lifting Face + Neck Cream plumps, smooths and hydrates mature skin with multi-peptides, hyaluronic and jojoba oil, while Moisture Surge™ 100H is a great glow-boosting all-rounder that hydrates and perfectly primes with hyaluronic acid and aloe bio-ferment. If it’s not your first party of the season, your undereye area may need a little TLC. Dot our lightweight Even Better™ All-Over Concealer + Eraser under the eyes, and anywhere else you’d like more coverage, then blend with the built-in blurring sponge. Next, using our Buff Brush, buff a little Even Better™ Makeup SPF 15 into skin to even out your skin tone and create a fresh, seamless base that’ll last all day and night.
Step 2: Define, sculpt and shine.
To warm up your party makeup look and enhance your natural bone structure, apply Chubby Stick™ Sculpting Contour under the cheekbones for definition, then anywhere else the sun naturally hits. Finish with a swirl of Cheek Pop™ blush on the cheeks for a healthy flush and subtle sheen.
Step 3: Softly smoky eyes.
This smoked-out winged liner look is perfect for the party season. Start by applying the lighter, bronze shimmer shade of All About Shadow™ Duose in Day Into Date all over the eyelids, then add depth around the lash line with the darker shade, blending well with an eyeshadow brush. Next, create a glam cat-eye flick with Quickliner™ For Eyes Intense in Intense Black. Starting at the inner corner of the eye, trace along the upper lash line only, extending to a flick at the outer corner and softening with the built-in blender. Fill in and tame brows with Just Browsing Brush-On Styling Mousse, then finish with a few coats of High Impact™ Mascara on the upper and lower lashes.
Step 4: Final touches.
For a softer take on a classic bold eye, nude lip pairing, opt for a romantic, berry-toned lipstick instead. Our Dramatically Different™ Lipstick Shaping Lip Colour in Raspberry Glaze is the perfect shade for party season makeup looks. It offers rich, soft-shine colour infused with skincare ingredients like shea butter and squalane to help smooth, hydrate and comfort dry lips. Finally, complete your party-ready glam with a spritz of your favourite wintry Clinique scent – we love Aromatics Elixir™, a uniquely intense fragrance with luxurious, heady notes of vetiver, patchouli, ylang ylang and rose.
