Glam It Up For The Holidays

Bored of the same old make-up routine? The Holidays are the perfect time to glam it up. Experiment with colors and style and have some fun with it.

What to Emphasize
Your face has three areas to emphasize: eyes, cheeks and lips. In general, you want to play up one area, but keep the others soft or muted. For example, try strong smoky eyes with barely there lip and cheek colors or keep your eyes and cheeks soft and go with a nice bold lip color.

Just Remember Matchy-matchy is Tacky”
According to Allure magazine, “matchy- matchy is tacky”. If your wearing a sparkly dress, don’t wear sparkly eyeshadow. If you have a purple blouse on, skip the purple shadows and use neutrals or complimentary colors instead.
