There’s a sweet spot between ‘no makeup’ and ‘definitely wearing makeup,’ and that’s exactly where a good party base lives. You want skin that looks like it had a full eight hours of sleep, coverage that evens things out without hiding anything, and a glow that lasts long after you forget about it. Ahead, we break down the routine that gets you there without any unnecessary steps.
“This moisturiser gives a soft, healthy glow before I even touch my foundation brush. It’s lightweight, never sticky and makes makeup go on smoother. Honestly, half the time I skip primer because this does the job.” — Disha Jariwala, Social Media
“This Tira-exclusive powder is so natural, it gives a glow that looks like good lighting, not makeup. I sweep it across my cheeks and nose and it makes my skin look so fresh. It’s the finishing touch I always needed.” — Megha Sharma, Editorial
A well-prepped base makes everything that follows look smoother and last longer. So don’t forget to take a moment to press some moisturiser into your skin, to make it feel soft, cushioned and ready for makeup. This will help your foundation glide on evenly rather than catching on dry patches or settling into areas you’d rather it didn’t.
Apply foundation through the centre of your face and blend outwards for a natural effect. Keeping the edges sheer lets your own skin show through, while a little more coverage where you need it evens things out gently. The result is a breathable base that still feels like your face—just calmer and more consistent.
Instead of concealing everything, focus only on the areas where you want a lift: under the eyes, around the nose or over a small spot of redness. Use your fingertips to press the product in—the warmth helps it melt seamlessly into the base, keeping the finish natural and fresh rather than heavy.
Once your base is in place, set only the areas that tend to get extra shiny—usually the T-zone, around the nose and a little on the chin. A light touch is all you need. This keeps your foundation and concealer steady through the dancing, without taking away your makeup’s natural finish.
After setting, bring back some life and dimension with a subtle, diffused glow. A light sweep over the high points—cheeks, temples, maybe a little down the centre of the face—helps your makeup catch the light in photos. It’s the final touch that makes everything look fresh.
