We are almost through the party season but there are likely still a few more days to dress up that face before the NEW year, and today I want to share with you a few quick ideas to add some holiday pizzaz to your makeup routine, while still feeling like yourself. 

Three easy steps to take you to holiday glam in a snap:

1- Add some candlelight glow

Nothing screams holiday like shimmer and glow, so adding a few pops of strategic light will instantly level up your festive feels. Add a warm champagne highlight to the inner corner of your eyes, the tops of your cheeks, and right along the edge of your lip on your cupid's bow.

• ColourPop Shadow Stix 'Honey BB'

• Merit Beauty Day Glow 'Bounce'

2- Double up your blush

Get that rosy cheek glow with a double blush effect- it's not only cheery, it also serves to lift the cheek making us appear more youthful. Start with your darker shade on the apples of your cheeks, then place your lighter shade behind and slightly higher on the cheekbone. Blend the two shades together for an ombre effect.

• Sheglam Color Bloom Blush in 'Hot Topic' and 'Petal Talk'

3- Pop on a poppy lip! 

It doesn't have to be red, but wearing a bolder, more saturated color than your everyday lip is the quickest way to dress up your look. I love to tap on a bold color through the middle of my lips, then use a finger to spread the color to the edges. This technique uses less product so you don't feel too overwhelmed by the full saturation. It's more like a wash of color, but gives the same effect.
