Top 3 touch-up tips every ball babe needs in her purse.

You’re dressed to the nines, your glow is ethereal, and your hair and make-up are on point. But the night is long and full of flash photos, pre-ball events, dance floor heat, and emotional speeches.

Here’s how to keep your look flawless from the first pic to the last dance:

  • Mini lipstick, major power

Your lip is your signature. Ask your make-up artist to decant your chosen lip colour into a mini pot or grab a travel-sized version.

Touch up before photos and after eating, and drinking. We recommend M.A.C Cosmetics Macximal Sleek Satin Lipstick Mini. Mecca $34.

  • Blotting paper over powder, always

Powder can cake and change your skin tone. Instead, slip in some blotting paper.

Gently press (don’t rub!) the sheet onto oily zones like your forehead, nose, and chin to instantly refresh your look without disturbing your glam.

We recommend Tatcha The Original Aburatorigami Blotting Papers. Mecca $25

  • The finger fix

If your foundation creases under your eyes or around your smile lines, use clean, warm fingers to lightly pat and swipe the area.

This technique melds the product back into your skin seamlessly, like magic.
