    Festive Christmas Dresses

    sI shared this story in a post a couple of years ago…it always comes to mind when I start thinking about what I am going to wear to holiday parties. I once attended a Christmas party at a dear friends home…he looked around at all of the women and said “Why are NONE of you ladies wearing red? It’s a holiday party!” I think of that conversation every holiday season. So in the true Christmas palette, I have selected some beautiful dresses that are chic will be festive for all of your holiday gatherings.

    Headed out for the holidays?  Feel like adding some sparkle to your makeup routine? You are in luck…we are going to tell you how to create a festive and elegant sparkly eye today.

    For evenings out, I like to wear shimmery eyeshadows but since we are in the full swing of the holidays, I like to incorporate a bit of glitter for added panache.

    This look was created by my incredibly talented makeup artist, Aradia Vive, (see our 5 tips post for more of her makeup tips).  She is incredibly professional and works with fashion shows, models and brides so I knew she would be able to create something truly special. Her secret to keep glitter from being garish is to start with a deep smoky eye and then layer the glitter on at the end. Keep reading for Aradia’s technique for how to create this smoky glitter eye.

    “This sexy look never goes out of style. Sultry smoky eye makeup can be a girl’s sexy best friend or worst nightmare. (Hel-lo smudges and raccoon eyes!) When it comes to black shadow, less is more! Rim your top and bottom lash lines with the darkest shade and create a sideways V shape at the outer corners of your lid. Apply the same shade you just used along your bottom lash line with a small angled brush, using short feathering strokes. Wrap around the entire eye. Don’t forget to add a little highlighter. Shimmery white shadow is great for adding a little sparkle to your inner corners, but working it up to your brows is glitter overkill. Dust a gold or copper colored shadow on your lids and smudge it along the lower lash line. Add a hint of bronzer and a nude gloss look for a neutral, everyday smoky eye look that’s anything but boring!”

    She used these Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadows on the top of this smoky eye. This is an excellent product…the glitter is fine, it is easy to apply and it stays on well. Use sparingly…when it comes to glitter, a little goes a long way. Available at www.sephora.com.

    sWhen I create a dramatic eye like this, I keep the rest of my makeup subtle. For this look, I  topped it off with this mini of Nars Gold Digger lip gloss…this liquid gold face set includes 3 amazing products perfect for creating a glow.  The lip gloss is the perfect size for an evening clutch.
