THE DRESS CODE : BLACK TIE OPTIONAL
THE FOCUS: LIPS When you want your face to look dressed-up but no made-up, color your lips a rich shade of plum; it's bold but has a cool elegance you won't get from a candy-apple red and still works beautyfull with vibrant shades like the orange. A matte finish is more glamorous than high shine; The makeup artist recommends simply tapping a creammy lipstick over bare lips with your finger, then tidy up the outer edges- and create a barrier against bleeding- with a pencil ( for the most natural looking line, use the side, not the point, to draw short strokes); the pencil shade should be as close as possible to the lipstick without going darker. A strong mouth brings out the flush in your cheeks, so go light on blush, but do take a couple minutes to define your eyes. Run a rich brown liner pencil ( like MAC Eye Kohl $14.50, wich has a touch of iridescense) as close as possible to your upper and lower lashlines, then finish with two coats of black mascara. 3 Parings for 3 Skin TonesA perfect match between your lips and nails can be a little much. But two pretty variation on the same shade create a sophisticated symmetry. 
If you have fair skin, try blue-based berry colors with a bit of translucence. Prescriptives Lipshine in Black Cherry;
SpaRitual Nail Lacquer in Impression.
If you have olive/medium skin, try creamy, succulent, red-tinged plums. Clarins Joli Rouge in Plum; OPI Nail Lacquer in
Bastille My Heart
If you have dark ckin, try deep, saturated raisin hues. MAC Cemesheen in Hang-up; Essie Nail Color in Wicked.
THE DRESS CODE : Coctail
Dramatic Eye Makeup can be Rock 'N' Roll or rebellious or ( as we prefer it) beautyfull
refined. Wearing a healthy dose of black liner ( Clinique Kohl Shaper for Eyes in Black Kohl) is paired with a sheer
yellow gold (Nars eyeshadow in Silent night), the effect is sumptous but not too smoky. And it's a good look if you've
been having a holiday season that's heavy on activity, light on sleep: "Playing up the eyes makes any shadows underneath
them less noticeable". Coat your lashes with mscara, and define brows with a pencil that's a shade lighter tha their
natural color. Keep the rest of the face siple: Even out redness or discoloration with concealer , and warm up your
complexion by plending a golden bronzer blush over your cheekbones. A creamy nude lipstick ( try Lancome L'Absolu Rouge
in Rich Cashmere) topped with a couple of dabs of golden gloss on the centre of the mouth completes the look. If you
have time to paints your nails, a light gold polish is festive but not so flashy that you have to take it off before
work the next day. Try Essie color in Shifting Power.
THE FOCUS: EYES 3 Steps to Stunning Eyes1 - Line the upper lid with a thick black pencil; star just above the pupil and concentrate the color on the outer corners. Smudge it out a bit with a Q-tip or your ring finger. Lightly trace the outer corners of the lower lid as well. 2- Blend a gold shadow over the center of the lids but no higher than the crease (Lids can look puffy with a pale shimmery shade on the browbone). To open up your eyes, add a touch of gold shadow along the lower inner corners, too. 3- Coat the upper lashes with mascara. Use the orb-shaped brush on the new Givenchy Ohenomen'Eyes. Hold it vertically and brush it underneath the lashes to cover every one without leaving any stray marks on your lids. THE DRESS CODE : Casual Chic
If you want to look polished enough for the party but perfectly natural and fresh faced, rev up
your radiance. Rough or flaky skin won't reflect light ( and can leave makeup cakey), so prepping the canvas is key:
Gently exfioliate, then apply an oil-free lotion and let it soak for several minutes. Blend a light liquid foundation (
or a tinted moisturizer - laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moiturizer, create a beautyfull dewy finish) over any
blotchy areas. To create a translucent flush : choose a creamy rose-tinted blush - it will melt into your skin. Then, to
illuminate your whole complexion, apply a sheer shimmery powder or pearly cream to the ereas of your face where light
hits ( the cheekbones, temples, and the bridge of the nose ). Keep your eyes bare, except for the softest silver accent
( line upper lids with Dior Intense Liquid Eyeliner in Silver Light) and mascara. Choose a lipstick shade similar to your
lip color ( Try American Beauty Luxury for Lips Lipcolor in Spring Flower) or a subtle pink gloss ( like Victoria's
Secret heidi Collection for Very Sexy makeup Lip gloss in Cupcake)
THE FOCUS: CHEEKS 
The 3 keys to making Your Party Face last.
1. Keep foundation sheer and light, and use it only where you need coverage. Anything too
heavy will settle into lines as the night goes on ( and is more likely to end up transferred onto fellow revelers'
cheeks and suit jackets if you're the kissing-andhugging type)
2. Apply Makeup in thin layers, Whether it's concealer, eyeshadow , or lipstick. Two or three light coats are more likely to stay out than a single thick one. Tap or press ( rather than brush or swipe) the product onto your skin, and you'll be less apt to overdo it. 3. Tread carefully with powders. On your lids, a powder shadow is preferable to a cream - it's less prone to creasing or fading. On your face, though, powder can look heavy after a couple of hours and often accentuates wrinkles. If you get supper shiny, dust a translucent loose powder over your T-zone; otherwise skip it completely and mitigate shine with blotting tissues ( they won't disturb your makeup).
