A.M. Prep: Managing editor Mary keeps her daytime makeup simple with BB cream, concealer, blush and mascara, but adds a hint of sparkle to her eyes with a swipe of shimmery champagne shadow from lid to crease. Here, she wears a warm taupe from Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette The Dolce Vita Colour-Coded Eyeshadows, $52.
P.M. Panache: The easiest way to draw attention to the eyes and frame your face: create full, feathered brows. Use a spoolie to brush hairs down, then use an eyebrow pencil to build color in the direction your brows grow, using small, hair-like strokes. (Rodriguez likes the Urban Decay Brow Beater, $20, in Neutral Brown for its ultra precise point.) Brush brows up with the spoolie to ID any sparse areas that still need to be filled in. Set the look with a clear brow gel.
Next, line eyes from inner to outer corner with a long-lasting pencil or liquid liner. Here, Rodriguez uses Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil, $20, in Zero, a superblack waterproof liner that will not budge.
The last step: A classic red lip that stays on all night long (no matter how many glasses of bubbly you have). Rodriguez uses Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Lip Pencil, $20, in shade 69, a true, classic red, to fill in Mary's lips. Pro tip: Fill in the center of your lips first. When you line the sides of your lips, always apply from the bottom up so you don't accidentally cut off any of your lip. Using a lip brush, top it with a sheer red lipstick or gloss to create a gorgeous, meet-me-under-the-mistletoe look.
