Holiday Party Makeup Tips

Holiday Party Makeup Tips

There’s nothing like a holiday party to give you the chance to step up your makeup game. It’s time to look festive, merry and bright. Be bold, add a little sparkle, and get ready to turn heads with these holiday party makeup tips. 

Less is More

Just because you want to glam it up doesn’t mean you should be heavy handed and cake on your makeup. Use a lightweight, liquid foundation, and use soft and subtle contouring and highlighting techniques to let your natural beauty shine through.

Get Your Glow On

Achieve luminous, glowing skin by using a dewy moisturizer and setting foundation with a lip balm. Also, consider a cream blush and a dusting of shimmery highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones.

Create Smokey Eyes

The holidays are the perfect time to add some drama with smokey, sultry eyes. Try a creamy metallic shadow in your favorite hue. Then, simply line the upper and lower lash lines with a kohl pencil. Lastly, use an eye brush to blend out the lines for instant impact.

Don't Forget Your Brows

While the days of over-tweezed, pencil-thin eyebrows are over, you definitely want to remove stray hairs, and fill in any sparse areas to give your brows definition and fullness. If you find it difficult to get an even look, there are brow stencils and stamps that can help guide you. 

Do a Matte Red Lip

Create some Hollywood glamour at your next holiday gathering by going with a bold, matte lip. Experiment with a classic red, bright berry, or a deep burgundy in a long-lasting formula.

Curly vs. Straight Hair: Maintenance Tips for Both Textures

Curly vs. Straight Hair: Maintenance Tips for Both Textures graphic

Whether you were born with naturally curly hair, straight hair, or something in between, you’ve likely experienced some uncontrollable hair days from time to time. To make the most of your natural hair texture, you need to use the right products, styling tools, and maintenance tips to truly shine. Here are some helpful tips for bouncy, frizz-free curls or shiny, straight locks.

Curly Hair Tips

Curly hair tends to crave moisture, that’s why when it’s humid out and there is a lot of moisture in the air, curly hair tends to frizz. The hair shaft opens to soak in all that hydration. To minimize frizz and get more perfectly formed curls, you need to follow a routine to moisturize your hair and minimize damage. Here is a recommended routine to get the most out of your curls.

  • Wash your hair with a co-wash or sulfate-free shampoo. Don’t wash it too frequently.
  • Scrunch a handful of conditioner through your hair until it feels fully coated and slick, and then detangle with a wide-tooth comb.
  • Rinse out most, but not all, of the conditioner. Then scrunch a handful of curl enhancing leave-in cream throughout your wet hair.
  • Squeeze the excess water out of your hair with a cotton T-shirt and let air dry.
  • Avoid brushing or combing your curls after they are dry. Scrunch with your hands for curl definition, or gently rake with your fingers to loosen curls that are too tight.
  • Avoid using a blow dryer or hot tools on your hair if possible. If you must use a blow dryer, use a diffuser.
  • To extend the life of your curls, put your hair in a high, loose ponytail on the top of your head when you sleep at night.

Straight Hair Tips

Straight hair is more likely to be oily and attract dirt, which can weigh hair down and make it fall flat. To get the style technique and shine you love, follow these straight hair tips.

  • Wash your hair every other day with a sulfate-free shampoo. You may also want to use dry shampoo on your days off to absorb oil at the roots.
  • Be cautious with conditioner. Choose a light formulation that won’t weigh your hair down, and never apply it to your roots or scalp.
  • Create volume with a texturizing spray and blow dry your hair upwards from the roots. You can also add volume by having your stylist add some layers to your cut.
  • Fight frizz with a dry oil or serum.
  • As you finish blow drying your hair, blast it with some cool air to help set your style and add shine.
  • Consider sleeping on a silk pillowcase to retain your style overnight.
