Take Your Makeup From Desk To Dance Floor

For fashionistas and makeup mavens alike, office holiday parties can be a bit stressful. How does your boss expect you to wear your makeup all day long and then look half way decent at the office party that night? Our friends at StyleCaster asked Katrina Barrion of Giella Custom Blend Cosmetics to demonstrate how to get party ready like Sienna Miller after you’ve spent the whole day at work.

Step 1

Gently wipe off whatever makeup you had on for the day with a damp tissue.

Step 2

Use a lip primer on and around the lips as a moisturizing base to make your lipstick last all night long.

Step 3

Next, trace your lips with a lip liner in the same tone as the lipstick you want to use.

Step 4

With a lip brush, fill the lip in with the lipstick. Using the lip brush allows you to blend the lip liner with the lipstick so you don’t see that line. Katrina blended a plum with a bit of a berry-brown to create the color shown here.

Step 5

Blot your lips and add a little bit of translucent powder for a matte finish.

Add another coat of the lipstick with the lip brush.

Step 7

For the eyes, add a dark eyeshadow to the outer corners to add some depth. Line the lower, outer eyelash line with a black, long-lasting pencil. Then take the shadow over the black pencil to smudge the color.

Step 8

Finish the look by adding some blush to the apples of your cheeks. Then highlight the cheek bones with a creamy champagne colored highlighter
