Glittery, Budge-Proof Makeup For Your Sweatiest Nights Out

TikTok is obsessed with this glittery eye shadow — and so are we. It looks gorgeous on everyone and creates high-impact results with minimal effort. This silky powder formula is flecked with gold, silver, and champagne sparkles, so it never appears too warm or cool. Beauty creator and guest judge Mei Pang calls it “the perfect eye shadow topper for any night out.” Layer it over other shadows or sweep it onto bare lids to create the illusion of wet lids, she recommends.

Pang’s plus-one for every night out is always this hydrating lip gloss from Pat McGrath. Why? The balm-like formula has a sheer champagne base and a reflective rose gold finish with a “transcendent glitter effect” that coordinates with any makeup look she cooks up.

Just like your night ahead, this multi-purpose primer, skin booster, and illuminator packs many possibilities. Smooth it onto bare skin or before foundation for all-over luminous skin. Alternately, blend it onto the high points of your face for low-key highlighting. “It gives an instant candlelit effect to my skin,” says BDG Executive Beauty Director Faith Xue.

For the dreamiest soft-focus finish, dip into this creamy balm from Danessa Myricks. It blends into skin as a blurring, light-reflecting powder that you can sub in for highlighter, or layer atop blush and bronzer to meld everything in luminous harmony. Xue swears by the lowlighter for a subtle, lit-from-within glow.

This setting spray got Beyoncé through the Renaissance tour without her makeup melting off into the crowd — so if it’s good enough for Bey, it’s good enough for us mere mortals. Its continuous spray imparts a waterproof, oil-absorbing veil over makeup to keep everything in place while you dance the night away. Xue also calls it a “must-have for oily-combo skin, especially during summer.”

Reed’s favorite non-drying matte Prada lipstick slicks on straight from its refillable silver tube for a low-maintenance wash of color. It naturally creates the dreamiest blurred edges, so you can skip lip liner. Plus, you’ve got options when it comes to shade range: with 13 reds, pinks, browns, and coral, there’s a color to match any aesthetic you try on for the night.

For all-night oil control, setting your makeup with this finely milled loose powder from Chanel is a must, says Sarah Feingold. It touts a barely there feel that is just as undetectable in selfies. Plus, it blurs away any streaks and harsh lines and gives skin “an angelic effect,” she adds.

Make Up For Ever is synonymous with long-wearing foundations, and this hydrating formula is no exception. Available in 36 shades, its buildable, medium coverage melts into skin like a jojoba-spiked serum and won’t budge for anything. “It somehow gives you glass skin without looking sweaty in photos,” says beauty creator and guest judge Emira D’Spain.

Made by Mitchell’s TikTok-viral Curve Case is truly the ultimate cheek palette. It’s filled with eight pots of creamy color for effortlessly contouring, bronzing, and creating a fun flush. Golloria is a fan of the Deeper colorway. “It’s the darkest contour and bronzer palette on the market,” Golloria says. “Made by Mitchell truly cares about inclusivity.”

Makeup artist and guest judge Donni Davy swears by Tan-Luxe’s self-tanner collaboration with Paris Hilton because it “smells good and works amazing.” (The Paris-pink packaging doesn’t hurt, either.) As a self-proclaimed self-tanning newbie, she raves about its user experience, amazing results, and decadent scent. “You can truly use it while you’re getting ready to go out and then leave it on — that’s the beauty of it!” she says.
