Look Like a Cover Model
Want
to look like you stepped out of the cover of Harper’s Bazaar? You certainly can
this holiday season! The December/January issue this year features Lily
Donaldson with a shimmery brown eye and a bold red lip. For the eyes, play with
the trends this season and include gold liner and a touch shimmer in the center
of your lip. For the most perfect red lips make sure that they are moisturized
and exfoliated, then apply a red pencil as a base and fill in with your
favorite shade of red. The holidays are a great time to experiment with fire
engine red. This combo of bold lips and neutral eyes will have you looking glam
in no time! I recommend Faces Beautiful’s lipstick ($17) in the Red Carpet or
Blaze and pair that with the eye shadow quad in the color Nouveau ($32). If you need help moisturizing lips, try
Faces Beautiful Intensive Eye and Lip Treatment.

Holiday Tips
Holidays got the best of you? “Glamour”
Magazine shares 7 tips for looking great in a hurry after a long night out.
Step 1: Be
prepared. Try your best to stay hydrated throughout the night as alcohol dries
everything out. As an extra precaution you can try taking a fish oil supplement
or B12 vitamin when you’re getting ready to go out. This will help keep you to
look refreshed the next day.
Step 2: Prevent
puffiness by sleeping as upright as possible. Adding another pillow will
promote lymphatic drainage and keep you looking alter.
Step 3.
Caffeinate. Use products with caffeine in them or place warm green-tea bags
over eyes for two minutes to stimulate the skin. This will help banish
blotchiness, eye circles, and dullness.
Step 4:
Counteract any discolorations with your makeup. Green covers red and yellow
neutralizes blue.
Step 5: Consider
skipping foundation. Liquids and powders will appear caked- on if your skin is
too dry. Instead opt for a BB cream or tinted moisturizer the morning after a
big night out.
Step 6: Brighten
your eyes using a beige liner along your water eye. This will make your eyes
appear larger and more awake.
Step 7: Dab a
light reflecting highlight on the top of your cheekbones, along the bridge of
your nose, and in two dots on the middle of your forehead. This will brighten
up your whole look!

Hottest Winter Nails
Attention Beauties! The newest nail colors
for the winter are officially on sale now! One of my favorite nail polish
companies, Essie, has just released their winter 2012 nail polish line. This
collection features classic colors that aren’t bound to any trend so it easy to
wear the all of the shades you love! This collection is all about your personal
style.
Essie has been a
long time favorite of Kate Middleton, who wore it for her wedding to Price
William. Essie’s founder, Essie Weingarten certainly had that in mind when
creating this collection. She said, “It’s
one part Queen Elizabeth, two parts Duchess of Cambridge. They don’t mince
words and never mince color. I just love the elegant simplicity of a saturated,
vibrant look. It’s so luxe, yet so easy to put together.”
The colors
include a beautiful tiffany color blue, “where’s my chauffeur”, two creamy red
shades, “snap happy” and “she’s pampered” a silvery gold glitter called “beyond
cozy” and an indulgent bright blue called “butler please.”
Let us know which
one is your favorite pick for winter!
