than a sprint. And, if you\u2019re out celebrating till the early hours, you probably want your makeup to last from the first glass of mulled wine right to the sweaty post-midnight dancefloor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re opting for a smoky eye or a statement red lip, a good base is key \u2013 so, how can you ensure that your makeup is up to the challenge? We called in the experts \u2013 our very own Skin + Me fanatics from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/TheSkinAndMeCollective\/\">The Collective<\/a> \u2013 to find out which products have their skin looking great all evening long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best party-ready primers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tamsyn:<\/strong> Beauty Pie Wonderfilter Primer is tinted, light, easy to blend and reflective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Natalie: <\/strong>Vieve Skin Nova Radiant Makeup Primer keeps my skin hydrated and glowy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carrie: <\/strong>Beauty Pie Wonderfilter Brightening Primer and Beauty Pie Wonderfilter Velvet Finish Primer \u2013 I use both of these to give a subtle glow where I need it. The Velvet Primer is great to mattify and blur my T-zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nicole: <\/strong>Fenty Beauty Pro Filt&#8217;r Instant Retouch Primer helps my makeup stay on longer as it makes my skin less oily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rada: <\/strong>My pick is Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Balm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best <strong>party-ready<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>foundations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jenny:<\/strong> NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser looks consistently good and lasts a while before oxidising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carrie: <\/strong>Boots No. 7 Beauty Balm is really subtle \u2013 it doesn\u2019t look like I\u2019m wearing anything but it evens out my skin tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nicole: <\/strong>NARS Sheer Glow Foundation leaves a natural finish and a slight glow which looks really pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Janette: <\/strong>Hourglass Foundation stays in place for hours and it\u2019s vegan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rada<\/strong>: Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Foundation is not overly dewy or matte, does not cling to dry patches and makes skin look beautiful and flawless. Elizabeth Arden makes wonderful foundations that also have skin-caring ingredients in them.<br><br><strong>Zoe:<\/strong> I think NARS Light Reflecting Foundation is the perfect amount of dewy without being shiny, even as someone with oily skin. I also love that it has skincare benefits too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best <strong>party-ready<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>concealers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nicole:<\/strong> I tend to just wear concealer where I have hyperpigmentation or scarring. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is very natural looking and easy to use with the applicator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tamsyn: <\/strong>e.l.f. Camo Concealer is great value for money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rada: <\/strong>NARS Soft Matte Concealer \u2013 it has full coverage and lasts all day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carrie: <\/strong>Trinity London BFF Eye Serum Concealer hydrates and gives a slight conceal, meaning that any heavier concealer I put on top doesn\u2019t cake in my fine lines. The Beauty Pie Superluminous Concealer covers really well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zoe:<\/strong> I use NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer for my undereyes and it is the perfect amount of coverage and never creases, even without powder. Also NARS Soft Matte Concealer is the best for covering spots and dark marks! It blends out so seamlessly and you wouldn\u2019t even know you were wearing any concealer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best <strong>party-ready<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>powders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tamsyn: <\/strong>Beauty Pie One Powder \u2013 it\u2019s pressed, easy to carry and illuminates my skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jenny:<\/strong> MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder, because of the colour range and how natural it looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nicole: <\/strong>Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder helps control the oil but not to the extent where I look completely matte. My skin still looks a bit glowy after using it which I like and it helps my makeup stay on for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rada:<\/strong> Huda Beauty Easy Bake Powder keeps oil at bay the longest out of all powders that I have used.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Carrie:<\/strong> Beauty Pie One Powder Wonder provides great subtle coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best <strong>party-ready<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>setting sprays<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tamsyn: <\/strong>Kat Von D Lock-It Makeup Setting Mist smells nice and works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nicole:<\/strong> Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray keeps my makeup lasting for the whole day and has a lovely finish. It also leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rada: <\/strong>Urban Decay All Nighter \u2013 it does what it says on the tin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carrie:<\/strong> It\u2019s not really a setting spray, but Beauty Pie Jeju Daily Rehydration Mist offers a great hit of additional hydration when you need it during the day.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Zoe:<\/strong> Revolution Fix &amp; Glow Setting Spray sets makeup so perfectly with a dewy finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to prep your skin for party makeup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/how-to-build-a-skincare-routine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3629\">skincare routine <\/a>can help your makeup sit pretty, and the key is keeping it simple. \u201cWith so many products and categories available in the skincare market it\u2019s very easy to be overwhelmed and tempting to have an over-complicated skincare regime,\u201d says Dr Jason Thomson, Head of Medical at Skin + Me. \u201cThis is unnecessary, expensive and you risk damaging your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/your-skin-barrier-protection-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2634\">skin barrier<\/a> if you\u2019re applying too many products with powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/what-are-active-ingredients-in-skincare\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5284\">active ingredients<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Dr Jason advocates a stripped-back routine which focuses on promoting healthy skin. Prep your skin by using a gentle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-101-everything-you-need-to-know-about-cleansing\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4863\">cleanser<\/a>, and don\u2019t overload your skin with active ingredients \u2013 less is often more. Take your time when applying your skincare, especially if you\u2019re using serums, to allow your skin to fully absorb the goodness and reduce the likelihood of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-skin-pilling-and-how-to-stop-it\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2494\">pilling<\/a>. Your final step before makeup should be a non-comedogenic moisturiser that adds a burst of hydration for a smooth, glowy base.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, when the night comes to a close, remember to take off your makeup properly \u2013 your skin will thank you for it the next day. \u201cIf you\u2019ve worn extra heavy (e.g. high oil content) makeup all day, the main thing to do is ensure you\u2019ve done a good cleanse at the end of the day,\u201d says Dr Jason. \u201cDouble cleansing with an oil-based cleanser first followed by a water-based cleanser can be helpful to really make sure you\u2019ve removed all the makeup.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Some quotes have been edited for clarity and brevity.
