1. Eyeliner

A bold eye liner stands out in dim lighting and makes any eye pop. Make sure to get one that stays on for those crazy nights of dancing!

2. Bold Lip

Like the eyeliner, a bold lip (berry is trendy and red is classic) gives your face color and stands out in the nighttime scene. Pat loose powder into the color to minimize lip marks on drink glasses.

3. Navy Eye Shadow

I like to keep my make-up to a minimum and rarely use eye shadow. But when I want to feel extra pulled together for a night out, I turn to navy eye shadow. It’s dark, blending well with eyeliner, but the gray undertones are subtle and perfect for a smoky eye effect.

4. Shimmer

There are various products for this must, from lip gloss to eyelashes. Keep it classy with highlighter, blush, or eye shadow. Too much of something CAN be a bad thing, and in the case of anything glittery on your face, this can err on the side of tacky. Apply highlighter to the top of your cheekbones, nose, and jaw bone to reflect light. Apply a slightly shimmery blush to your cheeks for subtlety (Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick is amazing). Keep glittery eye shadows to a neutral palette and the effect will be entrancing.
