Once the outfit is picked out, it is time to get to the beauty aspect. While most people switch straight to makeup, it's important to take a couple steps before applying your makeup.

First things first, treat your skin! Masks are your friends! The night before a party, treat your self to a mask. There are face masks out there for every skin type out there. Whether you have dry, dull, oily, sensitive, or acne prone skin, there is a mask out there that is guaranteed to treat your skin! The night before an event I recommend a revitalizing or illuminating mask. These masks will leave your skin looking refreshed and glowing! Glowing skin always make your makeup look flawless!

After your skin revitalized from the mask, its important to moisturize. While I overlooked this step for awhile, it is vital to smooth makeup application. Especially during these cold winter months, moisturizing will help enhance your makeup game!

Once all the skin care is taken care of, it is time to get to the makeup! During the winter time especially, make sure that you're utilizing a primer. Priming your skin before foundation application will make your skin appear more poreless and flawless.

For the holiday season it is all about the red lips and the sparkly eyes! A classic go to holiday look starts with a red lip. You can never go wrong with a red lip! Especially with a neutral outfit, a red lip can really give it a festive look! Pair your favorite red lip stick with a gold shimmery shadow and some black winged eyeliner. Tada! You have a classic holiday look that is guaranteed to compliment any holiday outfit!

If red lipstick is not your cup of tea, do not worry! Dark matte maroon lipstick is perfect for this time of year! A deep maroon shade pairs beautifully with a shimmery copper shadow on the lid and a matte chocolate brown color in the crease. This nontraditional look is the perfect twist on a classic holiday look!

While the holidays can be a stressful time, they are also a rewarding time! A time to reconnect with friends and family and share some love! Enjoy the craziness of the holidays because they only come around once a year! Happy Holidays and enjoy those holiday parties!
