For me, lipstick is a must - I feel naked without it. I wish I could just wear a nude shade, but it's not me - I need colour. I went with a bold red with COVERGIRLLipPerfection Lipstick in Flame. Oh I also always keep a gloss in my purse for touch-ups!

My dress and jewels were the center of attention, so I had to balance my hair and makeup. For me, a really glamorous evening look starts with the eyes. I love the drama of a cat eye - tonight I went with brown liner as opposed to black with COVERGIRL Bombshell Intensity Liner in Chocolate Kiss to create the look. I then used COVERGIRL Bombshell Shine Shadow in Gold Goddess to give my eyes a little sparkle. As always, I LOVE big lashes so I used COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume Mascara on my top and bottom lashes to add volume and intensity.

To start off with a good base that would last all night, I started with COVERGIRL TruBlend Foundation in M6 which is super lightweight and blendable.

On top, a light dusting of powder to set the look and a bit of rosy colour for the apples of my cheeks with COVERGIRL Clean Glow Blush in Roses.
