Holiday Makeup Must-Haves

‘Tis the only season to overdo it on the glitter and not be accused of looking like a 12-year-old at Claire’s Boutique in the mall. ‘Tis also the season where everyone looks so great in red lipstick, they may as well be Gwen Stefani, and while we’re at it, why not work some metallic eyeliner? May your makeup be merry and bright with these holiday must-haves:

The over-glittered nail. I can’t express how obsessed I am with Sensationail gel polish in gold glitter! It comes in a duo pack – you’re supposed to wear it over black polish, but I wore it on its own, and all I wanted to do was go to holiday parties, drink champagne, and decorate Christmas trees. That polish is addicting!

The blinding red lip.  Mark Make it Rich Lip Color Crayon in Hot Sauce converted me from my go-to oxblood shade to the brightest of holiday reds. This isn’t one of those dry, difficult to apply lip pencils; it’s a creamy, smooth crayon that goes on seamlessly. I have found that this particular color looks extra vibrant and amazing in photos!

The glistening metallic eye. Mark Metal Works Liquid Eyeliner in Venus is the cherry on top of your holiday ensemble. It adds just enough sparkle to your eye in a universally flattering shade of purple. Wear this one to a twinkling evening cocktail party.
