Blend your foundation using a sponge to ensure every part of your face and neck is evenly covered. If you have a dry skin, moisturize your face with a good cream moisturizer to avoid dry patchy look. For oily skin types, you can blend the foundation with water to prevent excessive oiliness. For dry skin, use Lakmé 9to5 Flawless Makeup – Marble and for oily skin, use Lakmé Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse. Now you are all set with a perfect milieu.

3.EYES- THE WINDOW TO YOUR SOUL Eye makeup is the most highlighting aspect of any look. Your eyes are the first thing anyone will notice. And, if your eye makeup is not done with proper care, it will ruin the overall effect. If you aim at having a long lasting makeup for your eyes, then prefer cream eye shadows over powder ones. Use the ONE Colour Impact Cream Eye Shadow for those perfect Smokey eyes. They not only stay longer but are highly pigmented as well. If you prefer powder eye shadows then apply Lakmé Absolute Illuminating Eye Shadow Palette – Silver using a wet eye shadow brush. Now you are almost ready...

4.WATER PROOF EYE LINERS AND KAJAL Now that your eye makeup is taken care of, remember to select a smudge proof and water proof eye liner. If you have oily eye lids and don’t want to end up looking like a wet cat , prefer smudge proof Kajal. The ideal alternative to Kajal can be gel liners. They are not only easy to apply but have mighty staying power. Gel liners from our brand, such as LAKMÉ Absolute Precision Liner and Oriflame Pure Colour Kajal Black are worth investing in, in this festive season. Now you are all lined up to dance.

5.ROSY CHEEKS, DIMPLE CHIN Dimple or no dimple, Blushes add life to the apples of your cheeks. But if you are looking for sweat proof makeup solutions, then opt for a powder blush over the creamy ones. Though cream blushes are easy to blend look more natural, they also carry the risk of melting away with the sweat, making you look awful at the end of the day. What you can do is, apply a cream blush and cover it off with a powder blush to increase its staying power. Today those glowing cheeks are surely going to make some hearts flutter.

6.MATT AND NOTHING BUT THE MATT Matt lipsticks have longer staying power as compared to the Glossy ones. Always moisturize your lips with lip balms before you apply matt lipsticks, you will be saved the agony of flaky lips. To increase the staying power of your lipstick, first apply one coat, dab some translucent powder over it and pat it off with a tissue. Now apply two or three coats of lipstick over it. This will let your lipstick last longer and you can smile the night away. Use Lakmé 9to5 Crease-less Lip Color for a perfect result.

7.DRY IT OUT TO LOOK COOL After you have finished your makeup, always keep in mind to give a finishing touch with translucent powder. The powder will not only instantly mattify the look, but will also prevent excess sweat. Use Oriflame Pure Color Perfect Powder or desired effect. You are surely going to turn some heads tonight :)

8.ICE ICE BABY Always remember to apply ice pack over your complete face once you have completed the whole makeup. Cover every part of your face, including eyes, neck and lips. Once done with the ice effect, pat off your face with a tissue paper and you are all done and ready to hit the dance floor. Just one more step to the finish line...

9.YOUR HAIR – THE CROWN YOU NEVER TAKE OFF Prefer having your hair tied up into a bun or braid to keep it off your face. This will not only keep your hair perfect throughout the night but will also beat the heat and prevent sweating. Use Tricoz Serum to give your hair that perfectly natural look.

Apart from the above tips, be confident. CONFIDENCE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING A WOMAN CAN WEAR. Looking beautiful isn't, I think, as important as feeling beautiful. So wear your dancing shoes and step out with confidence to set the floor on fire.
