Debs Beauty

With the debs season kicking off we've racked our brains to put together these top tips to looking even more gorgeous if poss!  So move over Hollywood A-listers and roll out the red carpet for the pretty lassies in town.  Here's how you can look divine and feel fantastic on your big night without having to splash out on expensive makeup artists, designer gowns or stretched limos. 

Cheat your way!

When it comes to beauty, a little cheating can propel you from D-list to top of the class with the click of your fingers.  A californian tan? Fake it.  Sunkissed locks? Fake it.  Lushes lashes?  Fake it. Okay, so L'Oreal got rapped on the knuckles for putting falsies on Penelope Cruz for their Telesopic Mascara advert, no surprises there. But if you're prepared to give a nod and a wink to falsies, you'll look like a sultry Latin beauty too.

You can apply falsies yourself (individual ones are best and you can try MAC) or have them applied professionally in a beauty salon.  The trick to a lasting smouldering look is to apply your mascara first before the false eyelashes as this adds extra length and dimension.

Try the new mascara from No7 - Lash 360°, is a unique multi purpose mascara that lengthens, volumises and defines lashes; perfect for creating an eye-catching effect in one easy step.

Get the Flawless Look

To create a long-lasting flawless look, make-up choice and application are key.  Hollywood glamour gals Mischa Barton and Scarlett Johansson know all about flawless complexions, but then again they do have a perfect canvas to work on.  Even if your complexion is less than perfect you can still radiate a natural glow to ensure a flawless finish. To let your radiance shine through try No7 Radiant Glow Foundation followed by Jemma Kidd's Gossamer Finish, which will subtly mattify without losing the skin's dewy glow for a natural look that will last all night long.

A must have to create a striking Hollywood party look is Jemma Kidd's ‘Light up the Room'. This handy kit comes complete with a step-by step guide showing how to achieve the latest party look, along with dual illuminator shimmer dust and crème highlighter; iridescent eye silk crayon in tiger's eye, and white gold shimmer stick, to open up the eyes and give a hint of party sparkle!

To create this season's classic 50's look apply a hint of blush to the apple of your cheeks. Ruby & Millie Face Gloss, or No7 Natural Blush Cheek Colour are both perfect for a pinched-cheek effect.

Kissable Lips

Finally pucker up with irresistibly kissable lips. Define lips with
Ruby & Millie Lip Liner and add Jemma Kidd Ultimate Lipstick Duo, which combines lip plumping lip balm with long lasting colour. To create the illusion of big juicy lips add a luscious layer of No7 Liplicious Lip Gloss for the perfect pout.

Debs Survival Must Haves:

Shine free face - Because it's your night to shine (but not that kind
of shine) make sure to have Ruby & Millie Face Papers in your handbag.

Dancing feet – Make sure you are free to dance the night away at ease
with comfy, blister free feet. Boots Gorgeous Feet Heaven For Heels
contain invisible non rub heel shields that prevent the rubbing of shoes on heels.

Avoid any potential snags – Make sure to have an emery board in your bag to tackle any unwanted nail chips of breakages, which can turn your look from classy to trashy. Be prepared with a Jemma Kidd Make - Up School Essential Emery Board.

Memories- Capture the moments of a night you'll never want to forget
with a digicam or disposable camera such as Boots Purple Single Use Camera.

Make the most of your time- In case the ladies' room is a mob scene, or for touch-ups in the limo, be sure to carry a mirrored compact to avoid spending the night trying to catch a glimpse of yourself in a crowded bathroom. Jemma Kidd Make Up School Mirror Compact Duo is perfect for touching up and come in a cute pink cover, ideal for your handbag.
