Skin care the day before an important day

I am having a year-end event tomorrow.

I don't usually enjoy wearing makeup, so I'm really worried about it. I'm also concerned that if I just apply it blindly, it might fall apart.

How do you take care of your skin the day before an important event?

For now, I'm thinking of doing a peel and applying a heavy cream before bed, and then maybe using a sheet mask before putting on makeup tomorrow.
