Blusher
We recommend: NARS The Multiple in Orgasm
While we are all for that natural drunk flush, faking it is easier. Get it early on in the night with a travel size blusher you can slab onto your cheeks in intervals during the course of the evening.

Hand Cream

Hands need some tender loving care as well, especially during sweater weather. Make sure to bring along a tube of your favorite hand cream and reapply generously during the night’s festivities.
La Prairie is available in Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza.
