Touch up your cheeks and lips for a polished look

4. Mind your cheek
"Intensify your blush, or add a little highlight on the cheekbones to reflect evening light," says Venoit. Try CoverGirl TRUcheeks Blush ($8.99), a trio of colours including a contour shade and a highlighter.

5. Get lippy
With the winged-liner look, wear a standout red, such as the holiday limited-edition Estée Lauder Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick in Ruby ($23), Marcelle Rouge Vitality Lipstick in Vintage Red ($9.95) or go daringly deeper with Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Lipstick in Forbidden Burgundy ($38).

If red is not for you, go for a softer, golden finish, which also works brilliantly with smoky eyes. Consider Chanel Glossimer lip gloss in Gold Shine ($30), L'Oréal Paris Color Riche Gloss in Soft Nude ($10.50), or Smashbox Lip Gloss in Ravishing or Illume (from the Smashbox Holiday Lip Gloss Collection, six glosses for $33).You know, it probably took you longer to read this than it'll take you to polish up for post-5 p.m. gaeity!
