Look More Awake With Eye Makeup
"Wearing cool colors on and around your eyes will alleviate redness," says Ami Mallon, global corporate educator for Osmosis Colour Mineral Cosmetics. Mallon recommends switching your go-to black eyeliner pencil for a navy blue one this holiday season. This will brighten the whites of your eyes and give the illusion that you have gotten more sleep.
For a creamy navy-tinted pencil that won't let you down this holiday season, Mallon recommends the Osmosis Eye Pencil in Navy, $25, which has incredibly long wearability.
Refrigerate Your Eye Creams
"Keep your eye creams refrigerated for extra de-puffing power when you use it the morning after," says Eugene He, clinical naturopath and founder of Ceramiracle.
To amp up the fine-line-busting benefits of Farmacy Dew It All Total Eye Cream, $38, be sure to stick it in the fridge overnight and use it after a late night out the next morning.
Carry a Travel Mist Bottle On the Go
"Fill a travel mist bottle with your favorite essence or alcohol-free toner and never leave home without it," he says. Your mist will hydrate and refresh your makeup on the go and also tame frizzy hair, he says.
Next time you need a pick-me-up, stash Meow Meow Tweet Geranium Palmarosa Face Toner, $24, in your handbag for a burst of antioxidants and nutrients.
Use Multipurpose Products
"My quick beauty hack for the holiday season is to prioritize multipurpose products," says Sarah Bigger, makeup artist and founder of Clove + Hallow. One of her favorite tips is to add a few drops of Clove + Hallow Hydraglow, $20, to primer or moisturizer to create a radiant finish.
Glow-Up Your Skin
"The holidays can be stressful and your skin can look a bit lackluster before your big holiday event," says Rick DiCecca, global makeup artist for Artistry by Amway. Consider applying an illuminating face moisturizer before putting on your makeup or a mask the night before your event to achieve a luminous glow, he suggests.
To keep your skin looking luminous sans makeup, apply E.L.F. Illuminating Moisturizer SPF 15, $8, to achieve a soft and natural shine.
