The obvious night out must haves, that keep you looking as fabulous as when you first stepped out the door are: whatever lip product you’re wearing, compact mirror and powder or something to absorb oil. A couple of cotton swabs to remove unwanted smudges around the eyes.

Expert Tips:

1. Load up a covered brush with your lipstick colour and put the top on. You’ll have enough product on the brush to touch up throughout the night, and it’s one less product to carry in your purse.

2. Stay shine free for photos with either a translucent pressed powder or oil absorbing papers. For those who get super shiny blot with the paper first, try MAC Blot Film. This will remove excess oil without the build up that repeated powdering can leave.

3. Smoky eyes can start to travel as the night goes on. Use a cotton swab to clean up eye kohl that smudges.
