Your Party Season Makeup Essentials

Best party season makeup products | Space NK
New Year's Eve plans come around quickly, and before you know it, it's 6.50pm and you have to leave the house in 10 minutes. You're dressed, your hair is done, but you need to apply your makeup. We're all about the formulas that deliver maximum impact with minimal effort. Think: easy application, photo-ready finish and dance-floor proof staying power.

Before you apply any makeup, we recommend prepping your skin with a hydrating face cream. This will help make your makeup last longer and give you a fresh glow. We also recommend priming your skin beforehand with a couple of spritzes of setting spray.

Best Party Makeup Products for New Year's Eve

01

Victoria Beckham Beauty

The Foundation Drops, N/A

While it’s tempting to opt for a full-coverage foundation on New Year’s Eve to ensure it lasts as long as possible, we recommend opting for lighter layers. Skin tint formulas like the Victoria Beckham Beauty Foundation Drops have impressive staying power and double as skincare with an ingredients list that rivals your favourite serum (no less than your Augustinus Bader serum in this case), so they leave your skin looking and feeling fresh all night long. Leave it to your setting spray to fix your makeup in place.

KOSAS

Revealer Concealer, N/A

Kosas Revealer Concealer is one of the best we’ve ever tried. Packed full of ingredients such as brightening caffeine, soothing arnica and hydrating peptides, this concealer goes beyond simply disguising dark circles and blemishes. We especially love how seamlessly it blends into skin. It’s a multitasking hero!

Charlotte Tilbury

Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, N/A

A setting spray is essential if you want your look to last! We use Charlotte Tilbury’s setting spray before every big event in our lives, be it a sweat-inducing summer festival or a friend's tear-inducing wedding, so it’s obviously a must-have for New Year's Eve. A couple of spritzes of this featherlight formula before and after you’ve applied your makeup will ensure it stays in place long after you chime in the new year.

VIEVE

Eye Wand, N/A

We are obsessed with these long-lasting Eye Wands from VIEVE. They make pulling off any eye look effortless with a stick applicator and creamy formula that glides on seamlessly and blends easily before setting in place. For New Year’s Eve, or any special occasion for that matter, we recommend deep shades for extra drama like the rusty Mahogany or the trending brown hues, Coffee and Espresso.

Milk Makeup

Kush Waterproof Mascara, N/A

The best mascaras not only curl, lift and lengthen your natural lashes, they also last all night without flaking. Milk Makeup’s Kush Waterproof Mascara goes one step further and leaves your lashes feeling soft rather than crispy. To maximise the results, try curling your lashes beforehand.

Its three-in-one applicator and brow-freezing formula shapes and holds each hair for that groomed lifted look that makes your entire makeup feel more polished and intentional.
