How to wow during the holiday season is easier than you might think, thanks to these beautiful beauty ideas from InStyle.
Get ready for head-turning hair and makeup inspiration!
Trade Black For Blue:
Lining just the lower lashes in cobalt instead of black (like Eva Mendes) adds nearly effortless pop. Choose a soft pencil and apply it very close to the lashes, smudging with a small brush.
Find Your Perfect Red:
The easy way to find your look-defining hue is to narrow the field to the warmer (or cooler) hues that work best, then bring a friend to the counter for a quick vetting of your top three picks.
Spread Your Wings:
Adding some ‘60s flair with a liquid or cream liner isn’t just a fun way to change things up — it also lends all-night staying power.
Rough Up Your Braids:
To get this playful style that can still skew “super-dressy,” (like Rashida Jones!) apply an anti-frizz serum throughout second day hair. Next, starting at ear-level, make three braids: one in back and one on each side. Spritz with hairspray, then loosely braid the plaits together.
Add An Inch On Top:
To achieve a “sexy but classic” blowout, lift sections vertically while you blast them, spritzing on a dry texturizing spray as you go. Make a shallow part, then add a few bouncy curls in front with a big-barrel iron. Now the key step: tease the roots around the crown, spritz with hairspray.
