All about make-up > Holiday Make-up

This year experience the enchantment of a decadent city holiday where days are filled with holiday shopping and nights with cocktail parties and galas. As you move from townhouse to penthouse, candlelit windows sparkle and shimmer off of satin draped fabrics and holiday lights stand out in bold celebration of the season.

No one wants a makeup meltdown. To keep your face looking fresh and at its best, there are a few simple rules to follow.
 

Hydrating

You may try Hydra Zen Neurocalm, a Soothing Anti-Stress Moisturiser by Lancôme, or Super Aqua Day Serum by Guerlain to revitalize the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Its legendary texture, both fluid and rich, envelops the skin like the softest caress, for an exceptional feeling of comfort.

Healthy glow
What are the Do’s and Don’ts of applying cream blush?
Less pressure, more impact! Avoid rubbing the blush onto the skin - rather pat the cream on apples for a flushed look or contour under cheekbone to shape the face. Use a lighter shade to highlight or tone down a deeper shade and add dimension by patting over the cheekbones with fingers.

Smile! Flushed cheeks are in with Dior Blush, a true artistry product easy enough for any woman to use with the fresh faced glow only the true runway cheeks show
