Holiday Glam That Lasts: Pro Tips for Sweat-Proof, Dance-Proof, Heat-Proof Makeup

Holiday party season is here! Which means sparkles, bold colour, extra effort eyes and glowy skin… and, if you live in Australia, makeup that’s fighting for its life. Between the heat, the humidity, the sweat, the dancing and the running around from one event to the next, keeping your makeup in place can feel… basically impossible.

So today we’re getting into all things holiday season glam with makeup artist Mia Hawkswell - from how to create a party look that actually feels fun and wearable no matter if you want to go lowkey or all out, and how to make sure it lasts the distance — even in 35-degree heat.

Also in this ep, we put our faces on the line to test Go-To’s blushes, and an easy hack for figuring out your blush placement, and of course, our MVPs for the week (and last ones for the year)
