Ahh, party make-up. The words are enough to make anyone over the age of 19 feel a bit sick. But really, when it comes to parties, we just need something that makes us feel like we’ve made a bit of an effort. Especially because these days every social event ends up on Instagram or Facebook. Easier said than done when you have a kid or two to get to bed, but that’s why we’ve worked with Bobbi Brown and their brilliant Bobbi Brown Pro and Artistry Manager Hannah Martin to create a failsafe look that you can create a) with a toddler on your knee and b) over the top of the make-up left over from the day. No need to start over again. It couldn’t be easier. Click to watch then scroll down to shop – and get a sneak peek at Bobbi Brown’s Black Friday deal…
YOUR NO FUSS PARTY MAKE-UP KIT:
Hannah had already prepped my foundation and concealer before we started because like she says in the video, this look is designed to be applied over the top of what you already have but in case you fancy splashing out or are just nosey and want to know what I’m wearing, it’s Instant Full Cover Concealer in Sand and Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF15.
Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Rich Caviar is, as Hannah says, 60 seconds to a smokey eye. Use a small amount or pile it on and then just smudge with your finger. For a more subtle try the shades Barkand for a more a daytime look, everyone should have the shade Taupe in their make-up bags.
Hannah pressed Luxe Eye Shadow in Sun Flareover the top. Don’t be afraid of layering and take it up to crease so that it can be seen when your eyes are open. The chrome pigments are so shimmery they are like molten foil and totally foolproof that you don’t even need a brush. They technically don’t launch until next Tuesday but TIM readers can get them from Friday exclusively on bobbibrown.co.uka whole FIVE days before the rest of the country!
We are totally swayed by Smokey Eye Mascara – great when you need to take your look from day to night, you can layer it up and it won’t go crunchy. Another treat for you (we are SPOILING you) if you spend over £60 on bobbibrown.co.uk on Friday, you will get a free full size Smokey Eye Mascara.
The Art Stick in Bare is my new obsession. As Hannah says, this is the perfect nude lipstick for all skin tones but the best bit is that it’s so easy to apply, you don’t need to be precise and can use it as a cream blusher too. Did you see how easy it was for Hannah to apply in the video? I’ve worn it every day since. Hannah also told us that it’s a great cream cheek colour for someone with oilier skin.
Finally, the Bobbi To Glow Highlighting Trio would make a brilliant Christmas present – and will last forever. It’s much more subtle than the effect that you get with their Shimmer Brick (too shimmery for Sam) and photographs really well. Perfect for party season! Use on the décolleté and legs etc
