It’s that special time again for celebrations, the hosting of parties, making memories and enjoying the magic of the holiday season. Here are a few secrets for keeping your skin looking young, healthy, resilient and flat out amazing, for that wow factor that will keep them guessing at those get-togethers this year.

    First, find the right cleanser and moisturizer for day and night: If you feel like you need a little extra, serums and an eye cream are a mini-miracle to slow the hands and signs of Father Time. Second, find the right foundation and all essentials that you need to have that holiday look. I recommend asking the experts about the perfect shade along with a loose powder, a little blush, and the right mascara (avoid the water proof variety as you will lose lashes over time). 

    A cream blush seems to last longer than powder, especially when you’re celebrating at a lengthy event or entertaining through the hours. As for eyeshadows, a little shimmer is always a hit in moderation, followed by a nice lipstick with lipliner, which will keep the lipstick from running.

    Take that powder puff along your lip line as this also prevents the lipstick from running, or if you choose to use a lip liner and a gloss, which is also perfect, some of my personal choices for color during the holiday season are deeper reds and wine colors that are simply stunning. 

    And for the guys…. I didn’t forget about you either! Make sure to use lip balms, such as Beekman, Sunburn, or Aquaphor lip balm. 

    It is my most sincere and heartfelt wish that everyone is having the best of times this holiday season.
