STEP ONE:

PREP YOUR SKIN WITH OUR CELESTIAL BLACK DIAMOND BRIGHTENING ESSENCE

Essences are the secret weapon for prepping your skin before a party—just like primers are for makeup. They work to soothe your skin and amp up its hydration game, making sure it's all set to absorb any actives layered on top. Our Celestial Black Diamond Essence has an enriched formula that helps your skin appear brighter, more luminous, and visibly rejuvenated, ready to party.

 

Use by pouring 5-7 drops into the palms of your hands and press the product firmly onto freshly cleansed skin. It’s the perfect starting point to ensure your routine hits all the high notes and leaves you looking flawless when you're out on the town.

STEP TWO:

TRANSFORM TIRED EYES WITH OUR CELESTIAL BLACK DIAMOND EYE MASK

Tiredness and dehydration will be long gone with these Instagram-favourite Celestial Black Diamond Eye Masks that instantly refresh the under-eye area, leaving you with glowing skin. Packed with Hyaluronic Acid to boost hydration and plump fine lines, making you feel ready to shine at any event. And the addition of Black Diamond Particles in the mask contributes to a brightening effect, making your under-eye area appear more radiant and illuminated. 

 

Start by removing the protective film from both sides and apply one mask under each eye. Leave on for 20 minutes, then gently pat any excess product into the skin after removal.

STEP THREE:

REJUVENATE FROM THE INSIDE WITH OUR BLACK DIAMOND SERUM

This gravity-defying serum is a must-have for getting party-ready. Its highly concentrated blend of active ingredients works wonders by lifting and tightening the skin, combating collagen breakdown, and refining facial contours. And due to the lightweight texture, it’s more deeply absorbed into the epidermis to treat the skin at a deeper level. Incorporating our Black Diamond Serum into your routine pre-party ensures a smoother, firmer canvas for makeup application, allowing you to exude confidence and radiate a youthful glow at any event.

 

Use by distributing 1-2 pumps between fingertips and apply to face and neck in an upward motion. Upgrade this step by using with our Sculpting Facial Roller. This tool will glide over the skin to gently massage the face whilst invigorating and sculpting.

STEP FOUR:

CREATE WAVES WITH SAM MCKNIGHTS MODERN HAIRSPRAY

This versatile multitasking hairspray is safe to use with heated tools and holds hair where you want it. Perfect for curling, straightening and glossy, sleek styles with the ultimate longevity to keep you partying all night. 

Use by Misting Modern Hairspray onto even one-inch sections, this multitasking mist provides heat protection, adds shine and guarantees curl longevity. Now your section is heat-protected to 230 degrees C, wrap the section round a curling tong.

 

Sam’s pro tip to achieve the look: Make sure you curl all sections in the same direction for that glamorous, put-together finish.

STEP FIVE:

DEFINE & DEFRIZZ  WITH SAM MCKNIGHTS DRESSED TO KILL

A rich yet soft finishing creme for ultimate definition and control. This hair pomade adds light hold that defines waves, smooths frizz and flyaways- ideal for thick, coarse and unruly hair types. If you have finer hair try the Happy Endings Nourishing Balm instead, as with just a pump or two you can nourish and tame frizz. Both are perfect as a smoothing finishing crème for lasting styles on all hair lengths. 

 

Use by smoothing Dressed To Kill or Happy Endings through your hands and run over your look to define, defrizz and defluff, creating the ultimate smooth, shiny and polished finish.
