What's your party trick? In terms of makeup of course - not balancing a spoon on your nose. Ms Beauty Hunter is feeling generous - tell us your best party makeup tip and WIN a darling little clutch purse...
What's your party trick? I don't mean tucking your Chanel lipstick into your cleavage and leaning down to apply it, oh no. I mean those other makeup tricks you perform before you arrive at the party. Those heavenly and honed beauty skills that transform you into the hottest girl in the room. Well, if you say so. Because I'm the hottest girl in the room - aren't I?
If anyone says there's no pecking order amongst women, they're lying through their whitened, brightened teeth. Every chick does the check out: evaluating each and every gal as she wanders in, subtly observing her makeup, hair and dress. You might even get a severe case of smugness if you decide you rate a lot damn higher. Phew, it's a nasty business this beauty stuff. So what's your big, bad beauty trick to up the hottie factor? Red lips or black eyeliner flicks? Come on, you can tell me - I won't copy. Meanwhile, between you and me - here are Ms Beauty Hunter's must-do four big makeup tricks with pretty products to match...
 | 1. Big, fluttery lashes. If you have time for nothing else in the makeup department - make time for mascara. Without it you'll look less than fab, bordering on drab and if you wink at blokes they won't even notice. My new favourite mascara is oh so perfect for lazy party girls. It has a rotating brush so you don't even have to move your wrist. We love: Bourjous Mascara Volume Fast & Perfect, $26, 1800 181 040. The rotating brush really wiggles in between all your lashes and loads them up with intense black pigment. Although, I don't love it for my lower lashes - there's a little too much movement for those teeny lashes. But, love the separation, the novelty factor and the zero clump factor. |
| 2. Always, always, good groomed brows. Brows frame that pretty face of yours and a decent set of brows are ideal for raising in surprise when a boy says something flirty and/or dirty. Get yourself a good little brow kit with different coloured brow powders, wax, tweezers and a brow brush. We love the brand new Tweezerman Mini Brow Kit, $39.95, 1800 251 215. It has a must-have miniature version of the famous Tweezerman Slant Tweezer and really natural, blendable powders. |
| 3. The perfect vibrant lip. Whatever the tone, I think a party lip requires a rather vibrant hue to give an elegance finish to your face. Fuchsia or crimson lipstick is not ideal for kissing up a storm I know, but hopefully you'll be home by then and it won't really matter. My absolute favourite va va voom lipstick is Chanel Passion - naturally. Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick in Passion, visit www.chanel.com |
 | 4. Contour, contour, contour. The Kardashians seem obsessed with contouring and if you do it well like they do, you'll always look like you were born with spectacular bone structure. The coolest contouring cream duet I've found lately is the brand spanking new Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate, $100. This new compact comes in two intensities and has a velvety highlighter plus deeper toned cream. Use the deeper shade to contour bone structure then lift and brighten areas like forehead and cheeks with the lighter shade. Available from selected David Jones stores from November 13. |
