Now that you have your perfect canvas, the key to getting a fab and flawless face lies in your tool kit. "Every woman should invest in a set of quality makeup brushes," says Elaina Badro, internationally recognized celebrity makeup artist and the mastermind behind the Elaina Badro brush collection. "Buying the most expensive products is a waste of money unless you have the fundamental tools for a flawless application."

First up is her Duo Fiber Brush, which gives skin that flawless, airbrushed look. Use it to apply cream or powder products like foundation and blush in a circular motion to conceal flaws. Next, use Badro's Contour Brush to help sculpt the cheekbones, dusting it in the hollows of cheeks for a defined effect. Check out Badro's the Essentials Brush Kit, $113.

Now it's time to take your look from flawless to fabulous. Badro advises exfoliating your lips at least three nights before your big event to banish flakes and provide a smooth surface for applying lip color. Try a bright shade like Cailyn Candy Apple Tinted Lip Balm.

Last but not least, create a sultry eye to pair with your lip by applying black liner along the waterline. Top everything off with false lashes for a touch of glamour and voila -- you've got a classic bombshell look that's sure to turn heads!
