Your Party Season Makeup Essentials
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
Victoria Beckham Beauty
The Foundation Drops, N/AWhile 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.

We especially love how seamlessly it blends into skin. It’s a multitasking hero!
