5 Makeup Risks for the Holidays

Brighter Blush

During the winter, its much colder & that means paler skin, lol -- which is all the more reason to give your cheeks extra love.

Nude Lip Gloss

At first thought, you might not think nude lips as impactful is it is. Suprisingly, its chic and easy. Choose shades of light pink and "barely there nude"

Glittery Nail Polish

In the midst of all the Holiday sequins galore, why not jazz up your "smallest palette" -- your nails! Full on sparkle/glitter nail polish, don't be scared. Go all out!

False Lashes

"Falsies" are really fun and bring focus to your eyes. For beginners, I can tell you that it is intimidating and weird, but TRUST ME.. its awesome :)
I'm a fan of lashes whenever and wherever.

Bright Colored Shadows

Bold shadows and a subtle liner is always a winner in my books. Skip the thick liner and try a fun color. Make sure not the pack it on and keep it balance (don't try to look like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show LOL).
