Party Secrets

The abundance of Christmas parties at this time of year can leave you looking a little worse for wear if you’re not in on the secret... At Caci we know that a little pre-party prep is essential for looking good, so we’re revealing the top secret ways to ensure you really make an entrance.

Bronzed Beauty
No time for a tropical break? No worries! A week before your party start building up your tan with a daily application of a light gradual self-tanner such as Johnson’s Holiday Skin or Dove Summer Glow. These products will build to give you a natural looking colour over the course of the week, so you don’t need to worry about any streaky, orange disasters! Haven’t got a week to spare? Apply an instant bronzer like Murad’s Firming Bronzer SPF 15 for Face and Body that washes off in warm water.

Body Conscious
Nervous about slipping into that fitted party dress? The secret to ensuring you look sleek all evening long is all about what’s under your frock. Pop on some hold-me-in underwear (we love Spanx from Ezibuy for their varied styles and industrial strength!) and you won’t need to worry about holding your tummy in all night long. Genius!

Fresh Faced
If you feel your wrinkles are making you look tired or grumpy, you may want to consider a Botox® treatment. Botox® is used in selected areas of the face to relax the muscles, giving a younger, refreshed appearance by reducing the visible signs of stress and ageing. A treatment takes less than 15 minutes and results gradually appear over the following few days with lines continuing to improve for up to 30 days; so it’s best to get treated at least a fortnight before your special event.

Glowing Skin
Microdermabrasion blows inert crystals onto the skin and simultaneously sucks them away to resurface the skin, gently removing the outer layer. This treatment helps reveal a more vibrant, glowing and softer complexion. You will really feel the difference when you apply your moisturiser and makeup—a perfect pick-me-up for your complexion.

Makeup Master
Day makeup is easy to apply but a dramatic evening look can be a little more tricky. We’ve got the secrets for a truly fabulous party makeup look face here.

The Morning After
We all know that you should never go to bed without taking your makeup off, but let’s face it, after a big night out that doesn’t always happen. So, make sure you keep a pack of face wipes on your bed side table to quickly wipe off your makeup before you go to sleep. You’ll be glad you did in the morning!
