My Holiday Makeup Heroes -

The time has come! Holiday virtual gatherings are here. I had my first Zoom get together last week and noticed how much my beauty made an impact on how festive I felt. It was just the added touch to make celebrating at home feel a little more special. I get a lot of questions about my red lip and it took me AGES to find the right blue-red shade for me. So sharing everything I use below. Not too different from my everyday makeup which you can catch here, but a few key changes to big players like eyes and lip!

HOLIDAY HEROES:

EYES: SHISHEIDO CREAM EYESHADOW

Guys, I purchased eyeshadow. You heard me! I picked up this nice cool, metallic shimmer. It’s light and gives the perfect holiday sparkle. You can also use on your areas of your face as a highlighter.

LIP: BOBBI BROWN LIP CRUSH IN REGAL

This lip color is not heavy and feels like a balm meets lipstick. The shade I wear is a mid-tone red, so not too cool and not too warm. Because it is a neutral kind of red, it tends to look great on everyone. THE BEST!

LINER: BOBBI BROWN LIP PENCIL IN RED

I don’t always use a lip liner, but this pencil is not very heavy. I lightly apply and run the pencil over my lip so it blends, versus looking like a harsh line. I then go over with the lip crush.

BLUSH: HOURGLASS HIGHLIGHTER AMBIENT BLUSH

How did I live without this blush?! It is also a highlighter and I like to apply to my cheeks, nose and a dab on the forehead. It makes things feel less flat but the shimmer also isn’t overpowering. I wear radiant finish.
