What You’ll Need:

- 3. Cleansing lotion/gel
- 4. Tonic
- 5. Facial cream
- 6. Face oil
- 7. Eyeliner
- 8. Optional: Makeup removal pads

Let’s Get Started!
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a day cream to moisturize.
Step 2: Foundation
Use a high-coverage foundation as the base of your look, and it will also help extend the wear of your makeup. Apply BB cream twice for better coverage.
Tip: Can’t find a BB cream to match your skin tone? Mix two shades for the perfect match!
Then, set your face with powder to make the makeup easier to apply.
Tip: Avoid powdering the eye area, as it may settle into fine lines and emphasize them.
Step 3: Apply the Makeup
Now, it’s time to bring your look to life using the brush set. Use eyeliner for sharp edges and fine lines, and create beautiful gradients with your blush and eyeshadow palettes. For larger areas, opt for a big brush and consider body paints. Don’t worry if you deviate from your reference—it’s all about creativity! Avoid removing everything to start over, as it stresses both you and your skin.
Step 4: Enjoy the Party
This step is self-explanatory—have fun!

Post-Party Skincare Routine
After your night out, don’t neglect your skin! Heavy makeup can be harsh on your face, so proper care is essential.
Step 1: Remove Makeup
Patience is key here. Use an oil-based cleanser or cleansing lotion combined with oil. Wash repeatedly with plenty of water and gently wipe with a towel until your skin is clean.
Step 2: Cleanse Thoroughly
Clean your face again with your favorite product and gently pat on some tonic.
Step 3: Hydrate and Nourish
Now your skin needs extra care. Mix a few drops of face oil or serum with your favorite facial cream and massage it into your skin.
Now you can sleep soundly and wake up the next morning with amazing memories! ❤️
