The holidays are just around the corner and you can sparkle even more than all of those glittery decorations with the right make-up. Whether you are going to a casual family dinner or a happening party with your friends, use these make-up tips and look sensational throughout the holiday season.
Even before your make-up gets applied, you need to start with a great base. This scrub from Fair and Flawless ensures that your pores are as minimized as possible, all while giving you clear skin. With exfoliated, smooth skin, how can you go wrong with the rest of your beauty routine?
Now that you have the perfect base, take your smooth skin a step further with the right moisturizer that will give your skin a natural glow. Ulta Daily Moisturizer Face Glow provides the perfect backdrop for your holiday make-up look.
After moisturizing your skin, it’s time to apply the perfect foundation. Foundation not only helps even out your appearance, it also gives your makeup a great surface to hold onto. Maybelline’s Dream Nude is light and airy, so it won’t clog your pores, yet it gives your skin an even, natural look.
Dark circles and blemishes don’t work well with holiday makeup. Cover them up with the Physicians Formula Concealer Twins. The green side covers up red imperfections and the yellow helps to get rid of those dark circles under the eyes.
