Formal is upon us! Whether you are going with a boyfriend, a potential love interest or as “just friends”, it’s time to get dolled up ladies. Here are my top ten products that will have everyone’s eyes on you.

1.       No time for a manicure? Not to worry OPI has tons of shades sure to match your dress. Not only is it much cheaper than a manicure ($9 at Drugstore.com), but you have the bottle in case you need to do a last minute touch up.

2.       The next item is a duo blush and bronzer by Nars in Orgasm/Laguna. Say what you want about the name, but this dynamic duo compliments almost every skin tone. I recommend putting the bronzer on first and then a light coat of the blush to add shimmer. You can get the full size for $41 or the mini for $24 at Sephora.com.

3.       If glitz and glam is your forte then I would recommend “Watt’s Up!” by Benefit. This highlighter adds a touch of shimmer to your cheek bones and above your brow bone. Although it is a little pricy at $30, (Sephora.com) this will last you a very long time because you only need a little to see a major difference.

4.       Now every girl loves a steal, to steal a kiss that is. L’Oreal Colour Riche is not only a steal at $5.99 (Target.com), but it will leave your lips camera ready and kissable. This lipstick comes in many shades including nude tones that would pair nicely with a smoky eye.

5.       Everyone wants flawless skin in photos and it all begins with a good base. Primer is a gel or lotion like product that helps foundation adhere to the skin and smooth out any imperfections. It is one of those products you have to try a few of to see what is best for you. For special occasions I like Tarte Clean Slate 12 hour Pore Perfecting Primer ($30 at Sephora.com). All you need is a pea size amount for your entire face. Do not use too much or your face may become greasy.

6.       Find me a girl who doesn’t want volumized lashes. E.L.F Eyelash Curler ($1 at Target.com) Buy it. Use it. Guaranteed to love it.

7.       Do you hate when your face looks shiny in pictures? Make Up Forever’s HD Microfinish Powder ($16 at Sephora.com) is the solution to your problem. After your apply foundation lightly put on the Microfinish powder. Make sure it is fully blended into skin. This will keep your face looking matte all night long.

8.       We all know it’s all about the eyes. Mac eye shadow ($15 at Maccosmetics.com) offers color that stays put and best of all it comes in every shade you could imagine.

9.       Get the perfect line with Wet N Wild liquid eyeliner ($2.99 at CVS.com). This liquid eyeliner has an easy to use angled, pen like applicator. Your eyes will look uniform and sure to last all night.

10.   Nothing completes a look like voluminous, moveable hair. Aussie’s Assome Volume Hairspray ($2.99 at Target.com) helps you achieve the perfect height, while giving your style a strong hold.
