This December, we sought party makeup tips from perennial partiers that’re tinsel-town sweethearts.

Party Starter: Priyanka Bose
“My after-party routine is more hectic than anything else. I’ll never sleep with a full face on, no matter what my condition. I’ll always ensure I’m squeaky clean with makeup removers. I also drink a lot of water, I’ve realized it plumps my skin for better results. Aside from these, I keep a check on my mascara and lip balm before stepping out. Even my eye brows need to be intact and if I’m using kohl, I stick to brown (not black) liners. I’m a sucker for lipsticks – if it’s dark I’ll ensure it won’t budge and is set properly while a nude lip will always have a lip balm on standby. I’m chill even with my hair. Short or not, I let them loose.”

“I don’t usually put in that much of an effort, even if it’s a party I’m headed to. But I do swear by my essentials, like I won’t step out without a deodorant, (oddly, perfumes aren’t my thing). On bad hair days, I wear a cap while on good hair days – I embrace (rather flaunt) my curls with hair wax. A pet peeve is not maintaining a clean stubble. I can’t stand it when men take it for granted and walk around looking straggly.”

“I love my natural curls which is why I prefer to keep it open at every opportunity I get. Otherwise, you’ll see me sport a chic man bun, twist or braid at the front whenever I’d like to perk things up. I’m a less is more person, even with my makeup I stick by it. I cover my undereye with concealer, roll on mascara and define my eyes with liner. They’re my favorites. And lipstick of course that’s a must. Shades of reds and browns are my weakness.”

“Strike a balance between not trying too hard yet having fun with your statement. I usually keep it simple by pulling my hair back, liquid foundation, lip tint, peach blush and I curl my lashes and swipe just a tad bit of mascara. Must I turn it up some more, then I put the spotlight on either my lip or eye. Like a wine lip with no mascara. Or a bright red pout with a gold glaze on my apples. Or a bold swipe of eyeliner and a glossy, nude lip.”

“I’m obsessed with mascara and layer a LOT of it on a night out. It makes such a huge difference. Even filling in your brows for that matter. Maybelline’s Brow Pomade is my go-to cause so easy to glide and is super quick. I love the way a bronzer gleams through the night. I always rouge some on my apples and body. To think of a rule I follow, it’s either using a nice lip colour or going bold with my eyeliner.”
