Party Ready Beauty

I love holiday makeup – it’s so fun and festive! And there are some beauty products I’ve been especially loving lately, so I thought I’d share my favorites for getting party ready!

1. Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pads / 2. Giorgio Armani Youth Regenerator / 3. Bobbi Brown foundation stick / 4. Bobbi Brown shimmer brick / 5. Le Metier de Beaute eyeliner / 6. Lancome mascara / 7. Kate Somerville True Lash / 8. Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill mascara / 9. Bobbi Brown cream shadow / 10. Beauty Rules by Bobbi Brown / 11. Tom Ford lipstick / 12. Revlon lipstick / 13. Bobbi Brown lipstick / 14. Chanel lipstick

For a perfect glow, I recommend Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pads – I’ve been a loyal fan ever since I discovered them (and save 25% off your entire purchase at dgskincare.com with code FAMILY today only!). Also, I’m recently obsessed with Giorgio Armani’s Youth Regenerator, which leaves my skin seriously radiant. I put it on at night and under makeup for instant lift/glow. And the Bobbi Brown foundation stick and shimmer brick provide perfect coverage and highlights. A Bobbi Brown rep I met with recently recommends using your finger with sparkles for that glimmery look – you can use the shimmer brick on cheeks, face, and eyes.

For eyes, I use Giorgio Armani or Lancome mascara. Both give you perfectly bold, voluptuous lashes. And I can’t live without Le Metier de Beaute eyeliner. Seriously! Best. Eyeliner. Ever. For taking it all off, use Kate Somerville True Lash, which removes makeup while thickening lashes.

Finally, add the perfect lipstick, and you’re good to go! Be sure to check out Bobbi Brown’s Beauty Rules for more tips (could also make a great gift), and for fun hair accessory ideas once you’re made up, check out my guest post on If I Must Say So!

    Oh love all your picks! I am a huge fan of Chanel make up, a little expensive, but it’s divine. For the holidays I just picked up the Illusion D’Ombre luminous eyeshadow and it’s sparkly and so easy to apply.
