Smoky eye makeup doesn't have to be monochromatic. If you want to experiment with a subtle pop of colour, try Jane Iredale's cleverly-named Smoke Gets In Your Eyes kit.

When it comes to more formal get-togethers, the key to elegant-looking makeup is simplicity. The best way to attain this is by making it look like you are glowing from within. Start with a refreshing shower using Laura Mercier Tea Menthe Citron Crème Body Cleanse. Pair this with the Eau de Toilette if you wish to go with the scent of mint and earthy tea leaves with notes of cardamom and cedarwood.

Set the right mood for your prep with Diptyque's Figuier candle and savour the rich woody aroma. If you want a more adventurous scent, spritz on Penhaligon's spicy Paithani Eau de Parfum for the night ahead.

Before styling the hair and putting on colour cosmetics, don't forget to layer on nourishing elements to get everything primed. Apply some of the Phyto Phytodensia Plumping Serum on the scalp to invigorate it. For the face, put on Guerlain's Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil to boost hydration and radiance. After letting the serum set, you can further prep the skin with Clarins Lisse Minute Base to ensure a smooth surface. Then, for guaranteed fresh-looking and radiant visage, try Guerlain's Lingerie de Peau Cushion Foundation.

The primer plays a crucial role in achieving the radiant beauty look and in making sure that your makeup stays put all night long. For alternatives, you can try any of the following: Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance, Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer SPF30, Guerlain Blurring Active Base, or Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch.

Next, choose a sheer to medium coverage foundation like Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals A Foundation in Light Beige for a dewy finish. To cover up other blemishes, put on Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla. Another important factor to glowing skin is highlights, so be wise in choosing the shade for your skin. In any case, Laura Mercier’s Face Illuminator has the tone to match your glow (this one is Addiction). Finish off the contour with Perricone MD’s No Bronzer Bronzer SPF30 in Medium Warm Bronze. For the last few touches, don't forget to up your brow game with K-Palette Lasting 2-way Eyebrow Liquid Liner in Mocha Brown and add a little bit of oomph on the lashes with Guerlain Maxi Lash So Volume.

Once you've finished, you're ready to impress everyone with your flawless beauty look!
