Squeeze masks are a must if you want to retain the agelessness in your looks. From Jennifer Lopez to all the Kardashians everybody loves squeeze masks because they are so easy to use and provide instant results.

Moisturising is the key to a great skin. Though most people just get hold of a random moisturiser and use it, that's not the solution. Not every moisturiser is the same and picking up the right one is very important so that your skin type gets the correct treatment. Water-based moisturisers are the best for oily skin as they fix acne. For dry skin try opting for moisturiser with beeswax.

A highlighter is a red-carpet must-have. The thing about the highlighter is that most people don't know how to moderate it.

One of the biggest beauty blunders is going to bed with makeup on. You will never realise how extensively makeup harms the skin overnight. Most of our makeup essentials have toxic chemicals. You can guess what happens when you leave those for 7-8 hours. All celebrities insist that everyone who wants a good healthy skin must remove makeup immediately after they are home. On days you are too tired just take a damp tissue and remove the base makeup and wash your face.

Face oils are just as relevant now as they were centuries ago. The main purpose of a face oil is to hydrate your skin and get rid of dry cells. Make sure you apply face oil at least once a day and keep it on for 15 minutes. Most supermodels like Bella Hadid and Stella Maxwell have revealed that they never leave home without their face oils.

A night cream or an anti-ageing serum isn't enough anymore. Our skin has to face pollution, dust, sun rays and other germs which affect the skin in the most brutal way possible. Since it's not possible for any of us to spend hours on our skin care routine you can invest in a good overnight product. So that our face retains its freshness and plumps itself when we are asleep. Opt for an overnight hydrating mask or an overnight serum and make it a habit to put it on before bed.

The red carpet glam is all about catching the light and since the camera hides nothing a botched makeup job can really ruin your night. The first rule to a good glow-up is a steady and even base. Make sure it's compatible with your skin tone and you have used the right amount of foundation so that it doesn't come out cakey or uneven.

Makeup experts always advised against countering unless you're absolutely sure about what you're doing. If you don't have a makeup artiste helping you or don't really understand the contouring palettes, it's always best to ditch contouring altogether. Some of the biggest makeup artists like Bobbi Brown swear off contouring. Also, most people don't understand that contouring doesn't always amp up a look. Sometimes the key is to look natural.

Don't try to pull off a black smokey eye for a spring brunch or use too much glitter for a day event. Most people don't understand that day makeup is all about the palette and one must understand what goes with their skin tone. Evening makeup gives you a lot of room to experiment. Try out pop colours or bold lipsticks or even contouring. But if you want to make an impression in your day event, stick to what you know.

Always have a quick makeup routine as your backup plan if you don't have time to sit and do your face makeup for 30 minutes. Most people just use some makeup essentials for their 5-minute glow up when they are running late for work and this often comes in handy. If you don't have a lot of time and still need to do makeup, just wash and moisturise your face. Apply sunscreen and foundation and brush some powder and blush with a brush. Use very little kohl on your eyes and dab some lip gloss and you're good to go.

“Daytime red carpet makeup needs to be less. For a nighttime red carpet with heavy lighting, it’s easy to get a blank face. You have to play up the highlight and contour to add dimension,” says celebrity makeup artist Hrush Achemyan.

Experts also agree that if you’re serious about a statement glow-up, give yourself time to prep the face. Let the face breathe for a few minutes after cleansing, before you can apply makeup. This helps your look as your skin looks fresh and natural.

All makeup gurus agree that your makeup looks, be it for a red carpet or a party, should only have one point of focus. What they mean is if you’re going for a dramatic eye, ditch the bold lipstick. If you really want a pop-up lip colour, go easy on the eyes, by just applying some mascara and eyeliner.

The best-kept red carpet secret is the makeup setting spray. Especially if compact or powders are not your thing, you must try the setting spray. It keeps your makeup intact for hours and makes sure your base stays perfect and your eye makeup doesn’t smudge.
