Henna Night

When this look is worn

The henna party — warmer, more saturated, more forgiving than the ceremony, and usually the longest night of the week.

The sequence

1. 
   Step 1 — PrepAvène Cold Cream

   Dry areas only, three minutes.

2. 
   Step 2 — BaseHuda Beauty #FauxFilter Foundation

   Fuller coverage suits the saturated look of the night. Half a pump, build only where needed.

3. 
   Step 3 — ConcealHourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer

   Under-eye triangle, thin layers.

4. 
   Step 4 — Warm heavilyCharlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Bronzer

   Cream bronzer with fingers. This night can take more warmth than the ceremony.

5. 
   Step 5 — ColourDior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush

   Apply and wait sixty seconds for the colour to develop before judging it.

6. Step 6 — EyesMade By Mitchell Eye Lights

   Do the eyes before the base if you are using saturated colour — fallout onto a finished foundation costs more time than it saves.

7. 
   Step 7 — LightRare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch

   The warmer of the two shades, to sit with the gold in the room.

8. 
   Step 8 — Set and lockUrban Decay All Nighter

   Powder the centre panel first, then spray.

What makes this look fail

• Doing saturated eye colour after the base and having to redo the base.
• Cool-toned highlighter in a room lit entirely in warm gold.
• Under-setting, when the night runs longer than the ceremony does.
