It’s that time of year again… holiday party after holiday party after holiday party. If your schedule is packed to the brim with bashes and galas, know that looking gorgeous in that gown means keeping up with your primping routine. Juliana Lutzi of PURESTYLEGirlfriends.com shares six tips on how you can ensure you’re always looking your best.

1. Amp up your cleavage.
There’s not a gown out there that doesn’t look even better with some extra cleavage. Gather-the-Girls ($42) works magic and you can wear it with even the slinkiest dress. It’s a backless, strapless, demi-cup silicone shaping bra that lifts your girls up and pulls them in. Or, try Jump-a-Cup ($42) bra inserts if all you need is a little boost in size.
 
2. It’s not nice to point.
You never know how the weather can change, and not every garment goes well with a bra, so slap on Smooth ’ems ($17); thin tapered nipple concealers that will keep you concealed even under the thinnest of materials!
 
3. Have beautiful eyes all night long.
Put some primer on your eyelids before applying your eyeshadow.  The primer locks in the color and keeps it from smudging and lasts all night.
 
4. Break in your shoes.
Speaking of the dance floor, make sure you wear your new shoes a few times before the big night.  It seems simple, but it can be the difference between dancing the night away and sitting on the sidelines.
 
5. Make Sure Your Dress Stays Put.
Stay Put ($12) double-sided fashion tape is surgical-grade and is the perfect solution for slinky straps or a wandering neckline.  Plus, it is pre-cut into convenient strips and fits perfectly in your purse for any emergency situations.
 
6. Create a luscious lip look.
After applying your lip liner and lipstick, add a little lip gloss for extra shine. Put an extra dab in the middle of your lower lip to get a dazzling look.
