Lock Your Lipstick in Place
Use a lip liner in the same shade as your lipstick and completely fill in your lips. This creates a base that will help your lipstick last longer.

Don't Make This Powder Mistake
You've seen the photos of celebrities whose powder wasn't blended properly -- the white powder look isn't good. Apply an HD powder with a light hand and a giant fluffy brush to set your makeup. Use a dusting motion, and make sure it's blended all the way.

Insurance Policy
After you finish your look, lock it in place with a setting spray. This will keep your makeup from fading or melting off your face over the course of the night -- which means the only thing you'll have to worry about is nailing those first-dance moves you've been practicing.
