Many of you ladies are probably attending Christmas parties, along with family/friend gatherings and you are wondering... "How should I do my makeup???" I am here to help. Here are a few options to make it simple.
1) Add a little sparkle to a "Classic". Hooking up your traditional "smokey eye" with a wash of BLING is a great way to add some holiday glam to your peepers.
Please forgive me, these were taken after a 10 hour day... LOL It's not AS fresh as I would like for the pics, but the point is made nonetheless.
Products used: Urban Decay Primer Potion all over eye bed. Next I took Barracuda 24/7 glide on Shadow stick from UD and filled in lid and proceeded to blend up and out into the crease. I then followed it with Creep from my UD Naked Palette in my crease. I applied Virgin from my UD Naked Palette to my brow bone. I took Zero by UD and lined my lower lash and waterline. Topped the lashes with mascara and voila! I recommend a glowing cheekbone and cheek. Baked by Urban Decay is my all time favorite bronzer. Finish the look by filling in your brows and adding a nude lip. A peachy nude is the type I usually go for.

2) Try a bright clean eye with a deep berry lip!
Products Used: Urban Decay Primer Potion in SIN (my fave) all over eye bed. Next I did a bronze shadow lightly in the crease. I believe I used my 15 Year Anniversary palette from UD. On the brow bone I kept it light, using Vanilla from that same palette. I then applied Midnight Cowboy eyeliner from my 15 Year Anniversary liner set along my upper and lower lash lines and water line. Stuck on some false lashes and I had a glowing eye, which would make any woman green with envy. ;) Cheeks and cheekbones are blessed with Baked bronzer by UD AGAIN!!! I then used Burgundy liner from MAC on my lips and Rebel lipstick.
Last, but not least...
3) You could coordinate your makeup with the colors of your outfit.
This was me on Valentine's Day 2011
Products Used: UDPP all over eye bed. I used my BH Cosmetics 220 palette on my eyes. A few of the magenta and pink colors to lightly give a wash on the eye. I did this to still be able to "go there" on the lip. I am wearing Up The Amp by Mac on my lips. :) Of course this look will only work for outfits that are a color that can be worn on the lips and eyes such as: plums, cranberrys, berrys, golds. If you desire a red lip, tweek the rules a little and do a more classic "pinup style" eye. A clean eyebed and a black winged out eyeliner would be best.
Hope this helps! Happy Holidays and pretty faces!
XoXo,
Lo Lo
