We all want to look our best during the
holidays, one of the few times a year we reunite with the good majority
of our family and friends. If you need a little beautifying boost,
you're in luck. Here, a few easy styling tricks that will amp up your
party look in no time, including how to obtain a fresh-faced glow to how
to slim your entire upper body—plus 8 more tried-and-true fashion
favors.
1. Wear a simple, elegant updo, like a sleek, polished ponytail. Hint: Keep frizz and flyaways under control with a lightweight shine serum. Our favorite? Citré Shine’s Anti-Frizz Spray Laminator.
2. Luminous skin is your best accessory. Hint: Sweep highlighting powder in soft pink (like Benefit’s Powderflage) under your eyes and along cheekbones to brighten your face.
3. When in doubt, wear black. It always looks chic. Hint: Wear an eye-catching black top like this one from The Limited. It has sophisticated detail at the neck, plus a touch of shine.
4. Be festive—paint your nails red. Hint: Apply a base coat first to prevent the deep color from staining nails.
5. Wear a statement ring to dress up a party look. Hint: We love Fred Flare’s Jumbo Cocktail Rings set. It has six rings in different jewel tones, so you can match any outfit.
6. Less is more. Hint: Pick the feature you want to play up (eyes or lips) and keep the rest of your look simple.
7. Flashy, fun jewels add excitement to any plain top or dress. Hint: Stick with a common theme when wearing jewelry. Here, jewel tones unite these silver and gold baubles.
8. Don’t be afraid to show off legs and arms. Hint: Apply a body lotion with a bit of shimmer to décolletage, arms and legs for some exciting sparkle.
9. Go bold and wear showstopping earrings. Hint: Try a pair that catches the light. We love these beaded chandelier earrings from Target.
10. Keep brows well groomed—they’re the frame for your face. Hint: In a pinch, Aquaphor (ointment for chapped skin) can be used to keep eyebrows in line.
