Even tinted-moisturiser-and-go kind of people can amp up their beat for the festive season. Take your look from day to night by increasing the intensity with our top after dark party essentials. For a night you’ll never forget, add a lash to your smokey eye, a slick of gloss to your red lip or a dusting of shimmer over your cheekbones.

First up, your pout. If your go-to festive face is a smokey eye then investing in a creamy nude lipstick is a no-brainer. Choose a nude that suits you in a hydrating yet long wearing formula that holds up against multiple glasses of prosecco. Our favourite is the Illamasqua Antimatter Lipstick because of its semi-matte cushioned finish and intense colour pay off. Pair it with liner for even longer and poutier wear.

It’s all about that base and the one on everybody’s lips is the Vita Liberata Beauty Blur Face Tan. Exactly like the name suggests, this product evens your skin tone and covers imperfections to create an airbrushed blurred effect. It can be tempting to go for full-coverage on a night out but applying something lighter will not only be better for your skin but make you glow from within.

Glow girl, or at least you will after adding the Iconic London Illuminator Shine drops into the mix. If glitter eyeshadow is a Y2K step too far, add festive shine to your face with liquid highlighter. Either mix a drop into your foundation for a super dewy base or strategically apply high-shine to your cheekbones, bridge of the nose and Cupid's bow.

Lashes = party time. No festive face is complete without them and Ardell is our lash brand of choice. At this point, it’s obvious that we like to accentuate our natural beauty so the Natural Lash is perfect. Blending seamlessly into the lash line and super lightweight, they’re noticeable enough for compliments but subtle enough for everyday wear. For more drama, it’s the Ardell Whispies every time.
