Holiday Beauty Routine

Whenever I feel like getting GLAM my go-to is usually soft waves & a smokey eye! When the holidays roll around, I am always looking for ways to kick this look up a notch. I mean, it’s the ONLY time of year when I don’t mind a little glitter in my eyeliner.

Mario Tricoci here in Chicago put the most festive spin on my “go-to” holiday beauty routine.  See the details below…

 

HAIR:

Stylist London gave me my signature soft waves using my trusty Luxy Hair extensions. I’ve been using this brand for years and they are THE best! London wrapped large sections of hair AWAY from my face and only held the hair around the barrel for a few seconds. A fun tip she shared: spray clean hair with dry shampoo and then tease for extra long-lasting volume!

 

MAKEUP:

Makeup Artist Syn pair a bold red lip with a shimmery smokey eye, using all gold shadows. She finished the look with bold brows and a winged eyeliner to add a glamorous touch perfect for holiday parties.

 

NAILS:

I normally gravitate toward either white or deep maroon shades, but ’tis the season! My bright red mani added the cutest pop of color to my fingerless gloves all the while clutching my hot cocoa!
