Prep the right way to dazzle at late night parties

Get ready for the parties at twilight the right way. Do not forget to steam your face for rejuvenati­on, use a good moisturise­r, and then opt for the right foundation and lip colour before you step out, suggest experts.

Take steam of teroli or geranium oil in the morning. This will rejuvenate your skin and make it glow naturally.

Massage your hair with jojoba or lavender oil a night before and wrap in a hot towel for around 15-20 minutes. Wash your hair the next day, and finish with a rinse-off conditione­r.

Smash 3-4 marigold flowers, and mix with a teaspoon of honey and some raw milk. Apply on your skin and wash it off within 15 minutes to get glowing skin.

Highlight the desired areas instead of covering the whole face with foundation as that can make your skin look like plastic in dim light.

While choosing foundation, if you have very fair ivory skin, go for beige with a rosy tint. If your complexion is fair but pale (yellowish), avoid pink tones and go for beige or biscuit shade. Darker complexion­s look better with brownish beige.

Blusher colours for the night need not match lip colour exactly, but should be in the same tone.

Try gold, silver, or bronze shadow to line the eyes over your eyeliner. Highlight under the brows with gold, ivory, or a light coloured shadow. Then apply mascara.

Use a lip liner the same colour as your lipstick and apply lip gloss in the centre.
