In the action-packed days leading up to the holidays, it’s tough to make time to primp and prep for the fun stuff, like cocktail parties and family get-togethers. Not to worry! We’ve got your back (um, face). Here are our favorite swipe-and-go makeup tips for every holiday occasion. HOT TIP! Need a quick fix? No problem. Each NUDESTIX tin features a mirror and sharpener, so you can touch up easily any time, anywhere. START FRESH. No matter where the festivities lead you this winter, you want to begin with a flawless natural complexion. Get holiday-ready in a snap with NUDESTIX makeup crayons ($24). These luxurious pencils – enriched with vitamins, antioxidants and moisturizers – glide on easily without brushes or tools. Simply blend with your fingers, and you’re on your way. Here’s what you need to feel fresh-faced for your next holiday gathering: SPOT CHECK. Use NUDESTIX Concealer Pencil ($24) to draw over blemishes, dark spots and under-eye circles. This soft, matte cream pencil is available in eight nude shades and serves as both a concealer and a foundation for long-wearing, blendable coverage. WORK THOSE CONTOURS. Bring out your best features with the dual-ended NUDESTIX Sculpting Pencil ($24). With the brighter shade, highlight the high points of your face, such as the forehead, upper cheekbones and inner eye corners. Then, use the darker hue to contour your jawline, lower cheekbones, and temples. Blend well for natural perfection. LOVE YOUR LIPS. Add a fresh glow to your lips and cheeks with NUDESTIX Lip/Cheek Pencil ($24), available in eight shades. Use the extra creamy, soft pencil as a lip liner, then fill in the full lip for a pretty pout. Swipe the same shade across the apples of your cheeks, then blend well for a touch of sun-kissed radiance to complete your look. 16 RISE TO THE OCCASION. Once you’ve mastered your fresh-faced foundation, just a few touches can take your look from day to night or from chill to glam. Have fun creating different styles for every event on your social calendar this season. THE FAMILY GATHERING. Dress up your natural-looking complexion with a pop of bold lip color. Available in a variety of hot shades like Velvet and Strawberry, Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick ($21) combines the intense color of a liquid lipstick with the high shine of a gloss. The precision-tip applicator makes it easy to use without a liner, and the rich, saturated color lasts for hours. THE OFFICE PARTY. Kitten eyes are the purr-fect way to bring out those peepers when you are out with your coworkers. This sweet, less dramatic twist on the cat eye features a subtle flick of eyeliner for a chic, alluring line. Start by brushing on Stila’s Eye Shadow - Kitten ($18) for neutral, luminous lids. Next, define your upper lid with the waterproof Stila Stay All Day Liner – Intense Black ($22), making sure to extend the line just slightly at the outer corner. HOT TIP! Use the Sigma Beauty E25 – Blending Brush ($14) to soften and perfect your kitten eye. Finish up with a swipe of your favorite mascara, and you’re party-ready. THE NEW YEAR’S EVE BASH.
