Make up
Go for bolder than your usual natural look. Try a smoky eye or a red lip. The thing to remember is if you go for more makeup on the eye, go for a more natural shade for your lips and vice versa. Don’t forget the flushed cheeks. Try a peach shade of blush on the apples of your cheeks. Click here to grab yourself some bargains on make up.
Shoes
Let them sparkle. If you can’t afford those extremely expensive Manolo’s or Jimmy Choo’s (especially during gift giving holidays), be creative. Take a basic black slingback heel and add an appliqué to them. Get really creative by taking an old vintage pair of clip on earrings and clip then on the front of your shoes. It instantly adds drama and intrigue to your basic black shoes. Not to mention, you save a bundle on this hip trick.
Jewerly
Dressing for the holidays calls for big and bold accent pieces. Look for elegant and modern cocktail rings, dangling earrings with unique design, necklace that are bold and colourfull and bracelets that call attention to your wrist. Don’t be afraid of color. And don’t be afraid to wear big. Just remember if you wear an oversized ring, go minimal somewhere else.
