5 Red Carpet Life Savers

Okay you're at the premier of the latest movie or event (pictures always get taken either outside or at the entrance and the heat is not the kindest to your makeup you spent hours perfecting...)

I'll pass on a few tips to keep you looking amazing with little effort (at least thats the impression you want to give)

So here goes

Travel Size Fragrance
Why not have a perpetual fresh scent through the night without having to log around the gigantic 100ml perfume bottle with your favourite mini fragrance? Its also handy for air travel.

 Chanel, anyone?


Blotting Paper
Oily skin, oily skin, its bound to try and ruin the party especially when you sweat a little, and then you can't really show your best side in those pictures... gba gown! blotting paper to the rescue without having to mess around with your makeup again!

Anything you feel comfy with should work but hey kleenex seems to know what they're doing skin wise.


Lipgloss
Pick your favourite high wattage lipgloss (bronze, anyone?). Replenish your shine after that glass (es?) of wine or the air kisses.

stuff from the bodyshop pretty much works for me, could be a bit pricy but the principles are sound.


Compact Mirror
You probably already have this one, but it doesnt only have to be functional, beautiful also counts.

Blush Stick
After all the smiling laughing dancing, your makeup will not look the same as when you finished the masterpiece at home, not to worry, this can double (even triple sef) to brighten up your cheeks, eye shadow and lipstick! This is when creativity counts.
