Holiday Makeup: Red Lips & Smoky Eyes

December 19, 2014

I’ve been really into wearing bright bold lipstick lately. I switch off between my two favorite Dior lipsticks and have a lipgloss I sometimes layer over to create different shades. For the holidays I always think a bright red lip is a perfect and easy way to transform any look into a festive one. My makeup routine is pretty standard and I rarely move away from it so when I’m planning my look for a night out I honestly just make the change in the eyeshadow I use and maybe bump up the bronzer and add a little more mascara. For my husbands holiday dinner party last week I decided to get my makeup done because I had to pick up some of my daily go-to’s that I was running out of. She used a few new products on me and I loved all the colors so much so that I ended up buying most of them! Here’s a step by step of what we did and the products used in case you’re looking for some new makeup to try!

Step 1: Prep. Using Nars Skin products to clean your skin, moisturize, and brighten.
Step 2: Set your foundation. Apply concealer, cheek illuminator and foundation.
Step 3: Apply primer to your eyelids.
Step 4: Add shape. To shape and set your brows use a brow gel. Apply brow pencil to fill in any areas.
Step 5: Smokey Eyes: First apply base eyeshadow then apply second eyeshadow to the crease only. Run your eyeliner just at the eyelashes on top and bottom. Apply volumizing mascara.
Step 6: Get Cheeky. Go back to your cheeks and with a contour brush start with contouring blush then go over with your shade of choice. We used two different shades of blush and finished with a highlighting blush to add some more glow to my skin.
Step 7: Pucker up. Add bright or deep red lipstick to your lips. Use a red lip pencil to line your lips and smooth out the line of your lips. For fuller lips apply the lip pencil right outside your lip line.

Hope you enjoyed and maybe got some tips worth using for your holiday makeup this holiday season!

The reason I stopped worrying “what if” and la The reason I stopped worrying “what if” and launched my business, so I could participate in all the things for Mason and Cooper. I had a blast being on the fun run committee helping to put on this year’s fundraiser. My contribution was putting together the balloon arch and then working the water 💦 station day of the run. 

So proud of Mason, not only for raising more money than his personal goal for himself ($510 in total) but also running 10 laps and placing 2nd 🥈 in his class with a few other classmates. His run goal was 11 laps but he tried his hardest and that’s what matters most!! 

Swipe over to see Mason on the podium!!

It’s the most WONDERFUL time of the year and I d It’s the most WONDERFUL time of the year and I decided to take my whole family to get some of our holiday shopping done at the Gilroy Premium Outlets. I love shopping @gilroypo because they have something for everyone. We made a day out of it and definitely not only had tons of fun as a family but also checked off so many people on our gift list!! There are too many amazing shops to share them all but we scored big at the Gap Factory Store, Bath and Body Works, H&M, kate spade new york, Nike Factory Store, Marc Jacobs and many more!!
