A busy girl’s guide to party makeup

Picture this: it’s 7pm and you just ended a long meeting in the office. You consider skipping on the after work party with your girlfriends, because it’s such a hassle to touch up your makeup. If this scenario sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone in your plight. Since entering the work force, I’ve noticed a dwindling social calendar – sometimes, ashamedly, because I can’t be bothered to doll up for a night out.
Not anymore.
These four essential (and easy-to-use) makeup products ensure that I will never have to whip out the tired excuse of “family emergency” when what I really am is too lazy and busy.

Beneath every beautiful face of makeup is a solid foundation that further emphasizes the beauty of the other products. Stow away a foundation compact in your makeup pouch that’s long-lasting, comfortable and gentle, so you can dance up a storm without worrying about sweat and grime wiping your foundation away. Don’t scrimp on foundation, too – a good one will make you look and feel like a million bucks.

Before you mingle like the social butterfly you are, sweep a quick stroke of powder blusher over your cheeks to add colour and vibrancy to your skin. This tool is especially useful after a long day in the office makes your skin appear dull. Yikes!

Probably the one tool that immediately transforms your appearance from droopy and shagged to alert and alive is the miracle eyeliner. Whether you’re more adept with pencil or liquid, spend time mastering the contours of your eye, so you can effortlessly sweep a layer of liner on within a few minutes.

Our go-to lipsticks are the ones that we can apply on the go, without fretting that we’ll arrive at our destination looking less than divine. They’re long-lasting, moisturising and add that touch of glamour to our otherwise casual outfit. When we find these treasures, we stock up – multiple times.

Now, picture this: it’s 7pm and, even though you just ended a long meeting in the office, it only takes you 15 minutes before you’re ready and raring to meet your BFFs for drinks! (Yes, we like this scenario much better too.)
