Adding the Orgasm Infatuation Palette from NARS to your arsenal is also a must for the party season, as its three shades of shimmer should give you the perfect sultry look. If you’re looking for a more luminous palette, why not opt for Charlotte Tilbury’s Bar of Gold Trio as a way of notching up the glamour quotient?

Meanwhile, to distinguish your brow bones, try a dab of sheer rose gold courtesy of Chanel’s Ombre Premiere Crème, pairing it with Eyes to Kill Proliner from Giorgio Armani. No party makeup is complete, though, without bold red lips and Dolce & Gabbana’s Dolcissimo Matte Liquid Lipcolour, which has the added benefit of being smudge-proof. Apply a coat of Dior’s Diorific Vernis to your nails as a fabulous finish.
