Facing up to the holidays

Facing up to the holidays has never been easier OR more beautiful! Here are some quick tips from the beauty elves at total-beauty-philosophy.blogspot to give you the leading edge under the mistletoe this year!

Forget the classic holiday make-up looks and get daring with a bit of smoke and fire! Use a super-shiny shade of crimson or berry on the lid and blend into a haze from lash line to brow bone.

Lashes look best in basic black, curl them well for added impact, and sweep your eye shadow under the lower lash line, encircling the eye with unexpected heat!

Blush plays a major role in shaping and defining the best holiday looks. Brush blush from the apple of the cheek, back towards your ear and then up into the eye crease for a glamorous application with a bit of a spicy edge.

The most memorable mouths wear shades of lip gloss with a hot new metallic finish! Lips go pale and icy for a snow princess pout that will drive your favorite Santa’s helper wild!
