 With the holiday season in full effect, here are a few beauty tips to liven up your look:
Shimmer all the way:
Stunning eyes always draws a crowd. Try adding a pure metallic pigment to the eyes for a vibrant shimmer. Don't go overboard with the shimmer though. Adding a small amount above the iris or even in just the inner corner of the eye is a big hit.

Illumination:Who wants dry/dull looking skin in the winter?! Make sure to hydrate your skin with a good moisturizer. You may also want to try a cream with an iridescent hue, like MAC Strobe cream, on your cheeks and below your eyes to give you a healthy glow.

Play it Up:
This season is still in late 80s/early 90s mode. Don't be afraid to play up the eyes or lips. Opt for either a dramatic eye or bold lip this season. For smokey eyes try one of these shades: forest green, bronze, navy, grey. or plum. For bold lips try a shade of red, reddish-brown, bronze, or deep magenta. Also a quick tip for lips, use a product that doesn't dry out your lips. You want one that adds moisture.

Lashing Through the Snow:
Thick, full lashes will definitely make a statement at your holiday party. Try a mascara, like L'Oreal's Luminous Mascara in Carbon Black, that will add volume and length. For even more drama try throwing on a pair of false lashes.

Brows and Bells:
Don't neglect them, embrace them! Structured brows are here to stay so please make your appointment with you brow specialist! I guarantee it will make a difference.

Enjoy your holiday gatherings!
