Prep Your Canvas
By starting with a smooth canvas; a hydrating primer will keep help keep your face in place from the first toast to the last dance.
Moisture is Magic
Don’t let that dry winter weather wreak havoc on your skin. Make moisturizing the ritual you never forget!
Build a Beautiful Foundation
Every great look starts with the right foundation. Pick one foundation that’s your skin’s BFF — if it blends invisibly, you’ve found ‘The One.’
Glow, Don’t Shine
Mix in a bit of liquid highlighter for a celestially subtle glow that says, “I was born this luminous.”
Make Your Eyes the Window to Wow
By celebrating the season with colors that pop! Bold golds & sultry silvers – sweep a metallic shadow across your lids for a look that screams “holiday spirit with a hint of diva.”
Wing It, Darling
Perfect the cat-eye flick; it should be sharp enough to cut through the holiday ham.
Contour and Color Those Cheeks
Peachy keen or apple sheen, nothing makes you look more fireside ready than a peach or apple-hued blush. And don’t forget to contour those cheeks and dust some bronzer to sculpt like Michelangelo.
Mistletoe Worthy
Whether it’s classic red or daring plum, make your lips mistletoe-magnet-worthy with a rich color that puts the va-va-voom in your fa-la-la-la-la!
Lock Down That Perfect Pout
Don’t let your lip color migrate to your eggnog cup. A lip primer is your best ally for keeping your lips looking lush no matter how late the party goes!
Make Your Brows Your Crowning Glory
Create the perfect arch! Fill in any gaps with a brow pencil and set with a gel. Brows should be as full as the holiday dinner table.
Finishing Touches
Set it and forget it with a spritz of setting spray and keep your look fresher longer than the line for black Friday sales.
Highlight Heaven
A dab of highlighter on the high points of your face will make you the beacon of the ball.
Choose Your Sparkle Carefully
If you’re going to sparkle like a disco ball, keep it confined to one feature. Eye OR cheek, never both.
