Besides the sense of merriment in the air during the holiday season, there's also a party every other day. You know what that means, right? Yet another excuse to get dolled up. To make sure you look your very best every time you step out; even if it's post work, you should be able to count on a few makeup staples, no hassle or hunting necessary. So get a hold of these 8 makeup products and ensure that they're within your reach through the party season for a flawlessly finished face.
1. Liquid Lipstick
When you expect to spend the next few hours dancing, eating and drinking, you don't want to have to duck into the washroom for a lipstick touch-up every hour, right? To make sure your lipstick doesn't budge all night long, make sure you're armed with a long-lasting liquid lipstick like the Coloressence Intense Liquid Lip Colour. With it over your pout, you can have your fun and even a stolen kiss under the mistletoe without it coming off awkwardly.

2. Beauty Blender
The glue holding any makeup look together are the tools you use. Even though you'll end up using more product than usual during the party season, it's important that it doesn't look cakey or powdery. For that, turn to a beauty blender. Use it damp to blend liquid products like foundation, concealer, illuminator and even cream blush for visible coverage but a natural finish.
3. Perfume
There's going to be a lot of tight hugs and air kisses, so a wonderful, long-lasting fragrance will create a sort of divine scented cloud that moves around with you. A few spritzes of a deep floral perfume like Miller Harris Noix De Tubereuse EDP is just what you need for the night. With its notes of mimosa, tuberose and clover, it will leave you with a spicy, warm scent.

4. Highlighter
When you're at party central, you can't go wrong with highlighter; not just because it's the trend du jour in the makeup world, but also because it's incredibly versatile. Dust a gold powder highlighter like the Coloressence Shimmer Highlighter over your cheekbones, on the bridge of your nose and forehead. You can even dab it directly over your eyelid with your fingers. Looking sparkle-tastic has never been this easy.

5. Setting Spray
No one wants creased eyeshadow and runny foundation halfway through the night, after spending hours putting together your look. To ensure it never happens to you, just a few spritzes of setting spray will do the trick. Depending on the spray you choose, it will give your face a dewy or matte look and hold your makeup in place, all night long.
6. Eye Shadow Palette
The party season is the perfect season to bring out the eyeshadows you've kept tucked away through the year. A good palette with a mix of dark and neutral shades, like Maybelline's Diamond Glow Quad Eyeshadow, can create a multitude of looks to play up with smokey eyes, or even just an inner corner pop.

7. Concealer
Whether it's a sudden pimple or stubborn dark circles that won't budge, concealer is the answer to most party season woes. Just dot it over any mark or pimples and apply in a triangular shape over your under-eye area and blend in well. It's the answer to instant coverage we all want, especially when we're going to be out all night long.
8. Makeup Wipes
And last, but definitely not the least, you need a good companion to take it all off, once the night is over. Good makeup wipes will remove all the makeup without leaving residue behind and, even correct errors made when applying it. So choose a good pack like Epique's Cleansing and Make-up Remover Wipes because taking it off is as important as putting it on.
