Well, whether it’s the customary festive lunches, pub nights, work dinners or the indulgent year-end cocktail dinners with the gals, we’re getting ready for it all and we know the glitzy-glam soirees will be keeping you busy too. And since there are just too many reasons to get all dolled-up, isn’t it time we relooked at not just the clothes and accessories but our make-up and hairstyles too!?
Ah, the glitzy, glam gatherings are not going to stop anytime soon, so let’s get you started on the season’s top favourite, nice, naughty, and chic party-ready looks to experiment with. Well, after all, you’re expected to make a grand entrance, so why not make it show stopping good?!
Glossy, Shimmery Smokey Eyes
Will this ever go out of style?! Glittery, glittery and sparkly eyes have continued to be a top party makeup look and if you want the hairstyle to match, you could add some shimmer to your slicked-back hair too. Want to go the sophisticated way? Wear a low bun or just blow-dry your hair off your face to accentuate your features. Smokey eyes with winged eyeliner are great for your evening out and you could take it up a notch with some shimmer eyeshadow to instantly glam-up. Are you planning to go all glam? Then match this party make-up and hairstyle look with Soraya – The One-Shoulder Velvet Dress from our collection that’s so ‘it’ this party season.
Ruby Red Pouty Lips
Oh, who doesn’t want to pucker up and pout?! And when you’re at it, don’t forget to add some classic crimson to your lips. Just go easy on the makeup and eyeshadow and let your plumper, glossier, pout-perfect lips take centre stage. And remember, if it’s our Midnight Chic Dress you’ll be wearing for the evening, we suggest you do the side curls to go ultra feminine yet bold with the red lips or go with the sleek chignon for your formal do.
Get the Blush On
Glossy, berry blush is all the rage this season and it certainly adds a very defined wintery flush to your cheeks. There’s a thrill in rosy, pink cheeks and it’s oh so feminine and you should try it on for your festive brunches. It’s not over the top and is great if you’re going easy on your eyes and lips. We’re crushing on berry pink cheeks for our casual Tropical Breeze Dress. It’s so boho-chic and with wavy curls or even the popular bobs, you’ll be adding some classy personality to your party ensemble. Anyway, don’t forget to pick one of our Statement Earrings to go full glam with your blush-sculpted face.
The Ultra Glam Top Bun
Whether you’re planning to go with the pulled back top bun or the messy, top knot with some stray side strands, this is one party hairstyle that never really gets boring. A classic party updo this one goes well with the ultra-glamorous lined eyes, plumped-up lips and the fluttery lashes and yes, our Moroccan Printed Lace Accent Blouse and Black Pleated Hem Trumpet Skirt combo. Match it with slim heels and a shimmery clutch to light up the dance floor.
The Stylish Plait
Go dramatic with your make-up to elevate your features but go subdued with your hairstyle for the party season with a tight fishtail or even a French plait. This is quite a glamorous party make-up trend that puts the focus on your face with the hair pulled back tight. We say you should match this with our High-Slit Velvet Collared Dress and finish-off with a pair of sleek strappy heels. And don’t forget the statement bling earrings to reflect the party spirit.
Take your party makeup and hairstyle to new heights with these glam tips and yes, this is the season to celebrate, so why not celebrate ‘you’ with some mood-elevating, mindful shopping? Get your hands on the season’s new picks here.
