You can achieve flawless, photo-ready special event makeup on your own with these 5 tips...
START WITH EYESHADOW
Before doing your foundation and concealer, apply your eyeshadow look. This ensures you won't end up with eyeshadow falling onto (and ruining) your freshly done face makeup. This is especially important for glitter eyeshadow!
WEAR A GRIPPING PRIMER

Gripping primers are slightly tacky, and give your foundation a sticky base to hold on to. This can extend your makeup for hours beyond their normal wear time.
DO A FLASH TEST

Some makeup reflects the flash from a camera, making you look ghostly in photos. Specifically test your face powders to see which one glares the least with a flash photo before using it on your face.

CONSIDER WATERPROOFING
Choose waterproof makeup to avoid smearing or fading. I always use a waterproof brow pencil, and a waterproof mascara to ensure my look stays fresh through anything.

USE A LIP STAIN

The last thing you want is to worry that your lip has faded or smeared. Use a transfer-proof lip stain that won't show a lot of wear through drinking.
