Products related to Cocktail Party Makeup

Simple Party Makeup
“So smooth, no tug, waterproof, not too shiny, natural enough for a simple no makeup look. I LOVE IT. New fav eyeshadow that I’ll be using everyday”
Day Party Makeup
“Most lipsticks start to fade after a few hours this one is long wearing and will last you the whole day! On top of that the price is great”
Holiday Party Makeup
“WHAT I LIKE: * Gelee to powder formula - the lightweight, creamy, gel-to-powder consistency makes it easy to apply and leaves a smooth, luminous finish on the skin * Soft, radiant glow and smooth finish * Coverage is buildable - you can build up to a more blinding glow without it looking cakey * Rich pigmentation - a little goes a long way * Melts into skin * Great color range * Versatile color range - depending on which shade you choose, it can be used as eyeshadow, blush, and/or bronzer, in addition to a highlighter * Excellent skincare ingredients AREA(S) FOR IMPROVEMENT: *.Would love to see some mini’s available or a set of mini’s, Probably too late for production for the 2022 holiday season but a mini set for the holidays next year (or any time next year) would be great! ”
Christmas Party Makeup
“The one I received seems to work so well with my ginger hair color & fair skin/pink undertone, and I’ll likely wear it as my Christmas lip color today. My one critique/note would be that the satin finish does bleed a good amount when applied on its own, so a lip liner is definitely necessary- but if you’re willing to do the extra step, this is a big winner in my book”
Office Party Makeup
“I am so glad I did because it's my second favourite lip gloss now (Tower 28 comes in first). The After Party shade is so beautiful. I am not very skilled with applying lip products so it's nice that this applies so easily”
Gala Dinner Makeup
“This foundation was a great mix of both and has stood the rest of time as I’ve used it for dinners, dancing at concerts and clubs, as well as more formal occasions like weddings and galas”
Winter Party Makeup
“I just got into makeup over the summer and wasn’t a fan of my hourglass concealer so I decided to try haus labs for my winter shade”
Simple Party Eye Makeup
“I love the neutral shades that go with any makeup look and are great for all seasons. They blend beautifully on the eye and the powder doesn’t get all over my face”
Engagement Party Makeup
“Went to get my makeup done for my engagement photos and bought this since it was what the lady used on me so that I could reapply as needed”
Festive Makeup
“This colour is perfect for night time parties, festive celebrations. Mostly glitters doesn’t look good on my brown skin but this is great”
