Tips for a Festive Glow from Bobbi
Wednesday, December 16, 2009
The holidays are in full swing and maintaining a festive glow isn't hard to do if you follow these great beauty tips that Bobbi Brown recently shared with Suzy.
Do you have any skincare tips that shouldn't be skipped, even if you are short on time?
Even if you're short on time, you can still have healthy, glowing skin. If your skin feels really dry, layer two creams: a light moisturizer and a thicker, rich balm. If your skin is feeling a little dull, I like to rub my Soothing Balm between my hands and smooth it on my cheeks for a dewy sheen.
What "must have products" do you recommend that busy women keep in their holiday makeup bag?
Double duty products are great time savers and don't take up a lot of space in your makeup bag. I love my Pot Rouge, which is both a cream blush and a lip color. A shimmer compact, like my Shimmer Brick, can be used on both your cheeks and eyes, and is great for around the holidays when makeup tends to be more glamorous and sparkly. Sweep a little Shimmer Brick on your cheek bones for a pretty glow or use as an eye shadow (you can even apply with your finger if you don't have a brush). Also include in your bag concealer and foundation to touch up any areas that need to be freshened up. A pretty pink lip gloss never hurts either.
Do you have any tips for transforming your look from day to night?
If you're rushing from work to a holiday party all you need is a few minutes to take your makeup from day to night. Touch up foundation as needed and sweep on a blush that is slightly brighter than your daytime shade on the apples of your cheeks. Adding touches of shimmer to one or two areas of your face will also help to dress up your look quickly. Try a sparkly lip gloss or dusting a little Shimmer Brick on your cheekbones. To make your look a little more dramatic, I also recommend switching to a darker red or burgundy lipstick like Port Lip Color.
