\u2018Tis the season to be jolly.\u00a0 But all of that action can leave us looking a little less-than come time for the big events.<\/p>\n
Following is my favorite makeup look for this season, or anytime your face needs an energy boost.\u00a0 If your routine has been derailed (and really, whose hasn\u2019t this time of year?) these tips will help you fake it until you are back on track.<\/p>\n
Concealer<\/strong> is always an important step in any makeup routine.\u00a0 When I only have minutes, it\u2019s concealer, eyeliner and mascara that make the cut.\u00a0 Concealer really freshens up the face, hiding any redness, dark circles and blemishes.\u00a0 The key is to go one shade lighter than your natural skin tone \u2013 too light and it is noticeable, too dark just looks weird.<\/p>\n Next, a bit of white eyeshadow<\/strong>.\u00a0 I love SANTE Eyeshadow Stick in White <\/a>along upper and lower lash lines, and on bottom rims of eyes.\u00a0 This makes you look instantly more awake, and is much more subtle than the silvery 80\u2019s version.<\/p>\n Now go over the white shadow on the upper lash line with a blue eyeliner<\/strong>.\u00a0 Yes, you read that right, BLUE.\u00a0 Like it or not blue is back, but the blue of the moment is muted and universally flattering.\u00a0 I use SANTE Eyeliner Pencil in Metallic Blue <\/a>, it gives a freshness to eyes.\u00a0 But really, any blue you prefer will add a hint of brightness without looking over-done.\u00a0 Be sure to blend the blue eyeliner slightly with fingertip or sponge end of pencil.\u00a0 You can apply your usual brown or black eyeliner and mascara as you wish.<\/p>\n My last trick is to apply a skin highlighter<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The amazing RMS Beauty Living Lumizer <\/a>lends natural-looking radiance.\u00a0 Apply to apples of cheeks, bridge of nose, and inner and outer corners of eyes.\u00a0 Remember, a little dab of this goes a long way.\u00a0 Follow up by with blush<\/a>.<\/p>\n Swipe on your favorite lipgloss<\/strong> and now your face is ready to go.\u00a0 Whether you are or not\u2026<\/p>\n [Image by Colton’sPhotography at Flickr.com, Creative Commons license]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
