‘Tis the season for celebrating … and for sick kids. If you’re anything like me, you have a full plate this month, and a house full of on-and-off sickness. Chances are the nonstop madness is showing all over our faces! Getting out of this month’s commitments isn’t always easy, so what’s an exhausted mom to do when she needs to look, well, not exhausted? I’ve found a few great products that will help you put your best face forward in a flash.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Brush-On Glow BB Highlighter
Fake a glow after endless late nights of listening to coughing with this simple to use highlighter. It’s designed to refresh and hydrate skin while hiding all the things you want hidden, such as bags, wrinkles, and spots. Even better is that it lasts 8 hours, so you can put it on in a spare moment in the morning and know it’s still there for that afternoon party. Application tip: Swipe this highlighter in the inner corner of the eyes, on the browbone, and on top of the cheekbone to really look rested.
BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector
Give your makeup or a bare face a holiday boost with a sweep of this illuminating powder, which comes in a range of gold/peach/bronze shades. It adjusts to your skin color to give a naturally radiant glow. If you’re in a dash, just one sweep of this can give enough of a perk to take away the tired look!
Guerlain Kisskiss Holiday Look Trio
This is a simple to apply holiday makeup look. I love how this trio has it all: a volumizing black mascara for easy dramatic lashes, a deep red lipstick to perk up your pout, and a blazing nail polish for festive fingers. Just throw on these few items and you’re good to go for any holiday event.
Amazonian Clay Volumizing Brow & Hair Powder
A bare face can actually look finished if your brows are perfect. This super fast to use product fills out brows in a flash so you look “done” even if you’ve done nothing else. But what’s really special about it is that you can also use it to cover up stray grays and give the illusion of more volume at the hairline. Perfect for this time of year, when we may not have the time get over to the salon for a touch-up!
