And here's the party look I came up with:

Clarins BB Cream is a great base that gives a natural glowing finish. I love their Instant Concealer for it's light texture and great pigment. It's an instant pick me up for highlighting and brightening under the eyes and anywhere you have darkness.  I used it between my brows, around my nose and mouth and of course, under my eyes.

This. Lipstick. Is. Everything. 

It's SO creamy and moisturizing yet highly pigmented. It's one of the best red lipsticks I've ever tried and paired up perfectly with the liner which gave me a fuller lip look and kept it in place for hours. I can see this shade working on everyone, from blondes to brunettes to gingers. Love!

Instant Liquid Liner is so easy to use! There's nothing more frustrating than trying to get ready to go out and struggling with a bad liner to get a precise winged look. I achieved great control with the felt tip applicator. It's just the right size, not too long and flimsy and not too stubby. Excellent!

The blush has a beautiful silky texture and i was able to use the deeper shade for a touch of contour and highlighted with the lighter tone in the palette. It's the perfect tone to complement a bold statement lip. 

The shadows went on easily with great pigmentation. Here's how I applied them:

I used the soft pink on the inner corner and inner half of the lid as well as the brow bone. It's a satin colour and I really appreciated the soft sheen without shimmer because it kept the look classic and subtle.  Next I applied the gunmetal darker grey to my outer third and outer corner. I applied the black matte shade along the lash line and deepened the outer v even more and finally I touched a bit of the silver shimmer to the centre of my lids.  I lined with the liquid liner and some kohl in the waterline and ran some of the darker grey along the bottom lash line to soften the look.  A couple of coats of mascara and some Ardell falsies and voila...I was ready to hit the town! 

Give it a try for your glam nights out.
