Top festive essentials for the winter season
Amy Smales
At this busy time of year, all girls want to make sure that their make up is perfect for all those Christmas and New Year parties. Here is my list of essentials to make sure everything stays in place and you look just as good at the end of the night, as you did when it started.
Firstly, before putting on your make-up, whatever kind of look you're going for, you must remember to either prime your face, or simply just moisturise. This will result in a much better look and will make your make-up last ten times longer as the moisturiser helps the products stay on your face.
Secondly, setting sprays are a life saver. I use Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray; this is especially for being on the dance floor all night. Sometimes your make-up can melt when you get hot; this spray prevents it from moving. It gives make up serious staying power. Once you have finished your make-up, you spray the mist over your face and let it dry.
Another product which will help your make up stay on all night is Urban Decay eye-shadow primer, this stops your eye-shadow staying the the creases of your eye, and avoids it coming off throughout the night, even if you rub your eyes with this primer your make-up won't budge.
These products would be perfect gifts to add to your Christmas list if you're running out of ideas.
