Bring on the Holiday Drama…

Hello ladies! It is officially December and you know what that means- the holiday parties are here and in full swing! I love any excuse to bring some drama into my life… with my makeup that is. But with all the hustle and bustle- who really has the time to spend hours getting ready?  So, I decided to ask a makeup expert Camilla Orosco to  show us how to get the glamour without too much fuss. So, let’s get started.

Step 1:  Apply your foundation/powder and light application of blush…the key to not looking overdone is to keep a fresh face.

Step 2:  Powder your eyelids with your base color or use a nude shadow.

Step 3:  Use a liquid liner (we used Mirabella Magic Marker) to create a dramatic cat-eye.  Follow the natural line of your lash line to start the line, use small strokes to build on the shape.

Step 4:  Use an angle brush and a coal colored shadow to soften the line and blend upward on upper and lower lid.

Step 5:  Lightly powder your lips and apply your fave red holiday shade  (we used Mirabella in Red Velvet). Start from the middle of your lips and work outward.

Step 6: Pull your hair up out of your face into a loose updo- to see a video tutorial on this easy updo go here.

and finally- step 7:  Find a fabulous holiday dress and sparkly shoes and get your holiday groove on!!

And don’t forget to leave the mom bag at home an take a clutch instead!

You are ready to go.
