Party season is here, and so too is our desire to turn up to the function<\/a> looking glossy head to toe.

It’s a nuanced beauty endeavour but one that makes a world of difference, especially where the festive season and subsequent long summer nights are concerned.<\/p>\n

From French classics to limited holiday formulas, find everything you need to look like a 90s supermodel dusted with gold, below.<\/p>\n
