Holiday parties can be fun and exciting but if you’re not prepared in time, they can be a complete nightmare. Having all your holiday party make up essentials bought and tried ahead of time can save you a ton of anxiety that night.
Eye Shadow
For your eye shadow, try MAC’s 213 Fluff Brush applicator. You can find and purchase it online for $22 at the MAC website. The next step is finding a good eye shadow color that reflects the holiday season. Fortunately, MAC sells a creamy eye shadow called Glitter and Ice Paint Pot that’s got a terrific shine and looks a bit like frost. Use the fluff brush applicator to apply onto the naked lids. At a price of $18, it’s sure to match the seasonal changes that the holidays bring with them.
Eye Liner
Even though I always like to include the wings when applying my good old trusty eye liner, winged eye liner is by far more appealing when set aside for formal occasions. I found the Maybelline New York blackest black gel eye liner at Target for only $8 and it works wonders. When drawing on the wings, use the applicator brush included in the set to trace soft, subtle, and slightly curved lines. Begin from the corners of the eyes and work gently on out. Lastly, make sure that the application doesn’t go on too thick.
Mascara
If you’re looking for a beautiful mascara to compliment your evening party dress, Maybelline New York blackest black Great Lash is it. Use the included applicator and brush the mascara onto your lashes, almost like brushing your hair. Target sells this product for only $4. For a more defined look, curl lashes before applying the mascara.
Lip Gloss
Red is a great color choice for your next holiday party. Currently, red lip gloss is one of the hottest trends out there and the color itself is a perfect reminder of the holiday season. MAC’s dazzling Lip Gloss Lipglass Russian Red instantly transforms its wearer into a sweet but daring sophisticated young woman. Get it on Amazon for just $11 and you’ll be the talk of the town in no time.
Blush
Furthermore, the appearance of a soft light shade of pink blush warming your cheeks will have everyone huddling around you like you’re a fireplace. I bought my beloved Fit Me Maybelline medium muave blush at Wal-Mart for a price of just $5. To apply, use MAC’s $34 129SH Powder Blush brush applicator. You’ll be happy your cheeks didn’t show up at the party naked.
The end result of your hard work calls for a time of celebration. Now that you’re all set for the party, go out and have a great time.
