HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE...
TOMORROW IS THE DAY - WOOHOO!
Here are some of the prettiest—and fastest—ideas to have you looking festive at your Christmas lunch/dinner/celebration...
Red lips: So much more sophisticated than those little ornament earrings. Choose a blue-red that's neither too glossy nor too matte. The perfect texture has a sheen and leaves the lips moist. The best part? It's the only makeup you need on your face. Skip eye makeup and leave your skin bare—think Chanel couture, where models' wore red lips and nothing else. Just comb your brows for balance and look for a lipstick formula that's long wear, so you don't leave a ring on your champagne glass.
Glittering eyes: Sweep a metallic shadow (if you have a cool skin tone, try silver; warm, try gold) from your lash lines to your crease, on your inner corners, and along your bottom lash lines. Your eyes will look gilded.
Glow-y skin: Dewy skin is nice, but it can look like oily in pictures. Instead, keep the majority of your face matte and strategically place highlighter on the bridge of your nose, cheekbones, and cupid's bow for a candlelit finish. Before you snap a chrissie pic, blot an oil-absorbing sheet down your t-zone to cancel out shine.
Tasteful sparkle: It might be tempting to layer on the beauty equivalent of tinsel and dust your skin with highlighter with from head to toe in the name of holiday spirit, but resist: look for body lotions that add a subtle gleam (not glitter) and avoid goopy, brown formulas that can transfer on your clothes.
