Before The Party
• Start your beauty pre-gaming off by loading up on anti-inflammatory foods to help mitigate the damage that will surely ensue. Lunch should consist of water-rich fruits, veggies, salmon, roasted nuts, and plenty of water.
• Moisturize your under-eye area now — this will make wrinkles and puffiness less pronounced later. Tim Quinn, celebrity makeup artist for Giorgio Armani Beauty recommends using a small, pearl-sized amount of eye cream, emulsifying it on the back of your hand and gently tapping it along the ocular bone, from the outside edge of eye inward so as not to disturb your previously applied eye makeup. “The eye cream will actually revive and freshen the makeup that has settled into fine lines,” he adds.
