YouTube and social media star Teni Panosian knows her way around a makeup counter, and has built a huge following by teaching others how to recreate her sultry, wearable and stunning beauty looks.
Now, she's showing us how to create a red carpet-worthy face that you can actually pull off while out with your girls (without feeling ridiculous). And, really, what's more important than feeling *100* for a fun night with your friends?
"I always look forward to having a night out with my girlfriends," Panosian says. "We all work so hard so it's nice to get together and just celebrate life! This is the perfect makeup for a dinner at Beauty & Essex (I love the food there) followed by something fun, which we usually pick last minute. Most of the time we end up at Pi on Sunset, where the laughs and good conversation continue!"
Watch the video above to see it all come together, and read on below for details on the products she uses (hint: they're fab) and why she loves them.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
Teni Says: The Luminous Silk Foundation formula is one of the best I've ever used. I love that I can use it for anything from a fresh, no-makeup look all the way up to a full-glam dramatic moment. Many other foundations that claim to be dewy or luminous tend to end up coming off too shiny or greasy, but Luminous Silk has the perfect combination of airbrush perfection and glowing dewy finish.

Hourglass Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick
Teni Says: It's hard for me not to love every product that Hourglass makes! They do glow products very well, so I'm not surprised that I use the Vanish Flash Stick very regularly. The stick form makes it very easy to use and also travel friendly. The finish is just prominent enough that you end up with a lit-from-within vibe. Similar products sometimes end up appearing too bright and sit on top of the skin, making it obvious that it's a highlighter, but this just blends right into the skin.
And here's a hint: Don't be afraid to use it on your eyes! It'll brighten them up in a subtle but beautiful way, especially if you're going for a natural look.

Tom Ford Eye Quad
Teni Says: The Eye Quad makes a statement in the most effortless way—the combination of colors in each quad almost makes a different personality come to life. These shadows have the perfect amount of pigmentation and a velvet smooth texture so the application and blending is a breeze. Sometimes shadows are too dry and chalky or too powdery; this formula is done just right.

Yves Saint Laurent Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain
Teni says: The pigmentation on this lip stain is very impressive: One swipe delivers all the color you need so there's no wasting product. Typically stains tend to dry out my lips, but there's such a treatment factor to the YSL Lip Stain—it delivers high-opacity and long-lasting color, but my lips still feel conditioned and smooth. The applicator also makes it easy to draw in perfect edges (without having to use a lip liner).
