womanmakeup 252x300 4 Tips to keep your Make Up Flawless all NightHave a glam look all night during your next girls night out or quality time with your bo! It sucks to spend hours primping for a party only to have your hair fall flat and your makeup fade way before last call. Follow these beauty tricks to ensure that you look gorgeous until sunrise. Bonus: When you really want to pull out all the stop, choose a hairstyle that’ll help you get what you want.

1) Start with Healthy, Hydrated Skin

Makeup applied on top of dry skin will flake right off, so exfoliate first. Then, prep your face with a silicone-based moisturizing primer. This will plump up your skin and give your makeup an even base to glide onto for a flawless finish.

2) Nix Heavy Foundation

A full face of base can look cakey and blotchy as the night goes on. Plus, dim lighting is really forgiving so you don’t need that much coverage. (Don’t worry: We found foundation that he won’t kiss off.) Just hide imperfections like under-eye circles, zits, and any redness around your nose with concealer.

3) Pick Powder Over Cream

Cream blushes and bronzers tend to slide off, especially in a warm, crowded room or if you’ve been dancing. A matte powder formula, on the other hand, will stay put even if you work up a sweat.

4) Lock Down Your Lip Look

One sip of champagne and you can kiss your lip gloss good-bye. A better option: Apply one coat of a creamy matte lipstick, then blot with a tissue to lift off the excess pigment. This will leave a lasting stain on your mouth. Do another layer for a deeper color, and try not to rub your lips together afterward. Otherwise, the color will smear.
