Hi ladies,

Its Oscars Season babes and this means we all need to look totally perfect in those selfies. Here are some of my favorite ways to prep for a huge night out – especially those Oscar Viewing Parties where its essential to look our best. ;)

These are a few of my essentials that I cannot live without and I may just admit that I also stuff into my bag before a huge party!

PS. Don’t forget to click on the links to purchase any of my favorite beauty essentials. <3

First things first , under eye concealer is a must. Its hard to fake days of beauty sleep when you are always on the go but I have definitely loved using the Urban Decay Naked Concealer. It blends in so well and it is a light mixture that will not seem cake-y on the skin. This is also good way to hide those hangovers and nights out ;).

When applying make up, its so important to have a solid foundation. I use Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer which is so effective. It provides a sheer and healthy glow to your skin.You should apply a small amount of this product before you put on foundation for best results.

Another essential would have to be the NARS Dual Intensity Blush Palette. This is every girl’s best friend. It comes with blush and bronzer. I like to put a bit of the blush on because it sparkles and stays in place. I also love to use the bronzer for contouring and shaping my face.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is another one of my favorites. Once you contour and add your highlighter etc., going in with this powder ensures everything will last.  I have found so much success with using this one because it is so light and easy to use.

A bold colored Chanel Lipstick is also must have ! I especially love this one – because it is a non drying matte lipstick that that easily glides onto the lips and gives you long lasting coverage. It has a smooth velvet matte finish and is composed with mother of pearl pigments to give you a rich color.

The Sun Beam Highlighter by Benefit is my favorite product to achieve a natural sun kissed glow and radiance. I like to blend some over my brow and cheeked bones for the perfect bronzed glow.

I love touching up my make up with the Urban Decay De Slick Spray. This is from the heavens, because is literally keeps your make up looking flawless all night long.  I usually go with the small size because its easy for on the go and to shove into my bag for a party!

Last but not least, my brows need to always be on point. These days there are so many eyebrow hacks but I love using Benefit’s Brow Zings.  This is a perfect all in one kit for brows is easy to use on the go. It features a soft , pigmented wax and a setting powder to ensure brows stay in place (and amazing!) for 12 hours. It also comes with an angled brush and a pair of tweezers so you can shape, fill, and perfect eyebrows wherever you are. This kit is my secret for perfect brows!

I hope you found this post useful and your Oscars weekend was a blast. Please comment below and let me know what products you swear by for a big night out!
