Step Three: To make blush last longer, start by applying cream blush in a rosy shade with your fingers. Then use a blush brush to layer a powder blush in the same shade, on top.

Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick ($21), Chanel Joues Contraste Blush ($45)
Step Four: Use a brow kit to fill in any gaps with shadow. Finish by applying clear brow gel.
Sephora Brow Gel ($7)
Step Five:A strong lip would have to be reapplied a few times over the course of a night. But if you go with a shade that is closer to your natural lip color and use long-lasting pencil, you won’t have to leave the party to keep your lips looking amazing. Choose a pencil that is one shade darker than your natural color of your lips. Outline the shape of your lips then fill in with pencil. Top with a clear gloss.

Step Seven: Dip a wet eyeliner brush into black powder liner and draw a line across top lashline. Next, apply black gel liner all the way across the eye, extending out to create a straight wing. Make sure the wings are even in length. Use a long-wear pencil to draw black liner across the lower lashline. Smudge the same gray shadow that you used on lids, across the lower lashline.
