Quick Tips For Holiday Makeup

They’re often the best part of the holidays – those last-minute invitations and get-togethers often turn out to be the most memorable. The only problem is that you usually have virtually no time to spend on your makeup. Fortunately, here are some tips from our friends at Allure magazine that will get you looking great and out the door in no time.

First of all, get ready for the season with a hair appointment. A great cut and on point color will make all the difference as you head out in a hurry. Next, your lips are the key to the quickest way to amp up your look. Choose a deep Bordeaux color and press the color into your lips with your finger. Pair it with a sleek hairstyle or this season’s wet look, and you’ll be drama in motion. Another lip option is cherry red. Go bold or soften it a bit by running a cotton swab along the edges. Pair it with either a classic hairstyle such as a chignon or a loose romantic one – the choice is yours. For a bit of a rocker chick look, opt instead for a berry colored lip stain concentrated toward the center of your lips. It looks even cooler with more fade on the edges.

Adding some eye drama is another good option for quick evening looks. Go playful with a colorful jewel tone liner just on the lower lash line and a sweep of lengthening mascara on your upper lashes. For even more punch, choose instead a silver eye pencil along your top lid and no additional mascara at all. And the iconic smoky eye gets a quick and easy upgrade by using just one product – smudgeable eyeliner. Begin at the inner corner tracing along your bottom lash line followed by a bit of a finger smudge. Do the same thing with the top lash line and into the crease, and then sweep on some mascara.
