Kiss & Make-Up

Seal The Deal: A New Year's Eve bash isn't complete without the perfect dress & make-up.

Essential: If you're planning to party your lips with a bold color, be sure to prime your lips first.

Avoid: Over doing the primer, just one coat before your lip application will be just enough to last you through your bash and ring in 2012.

Stay Jolie, Happy New Year!

Very Merry Makeup

December Pick: Too Faced, LashGASM Mascara

Love: Lengthens your lashes and doesn't dry out, in case you want to re-apply throughout the day.

The holidays are the perfect time to jazz up your makeup look. 

Sparkle: Your lids with a fun shadow, keep the color neutral and apply just once to make sure it stays sheer.

Alternative: Use a matte shadow as your base and apply the MAC Silver Dust with a blending brush over top to give you the perfect spark.

Pair: A bold lip color, fuchsia, reds, or pinks!

Lipstick Lovers are in luck this season, since Bobbi Brown is selling her limited edition lip palette for the holidays!

Gossip Less, Makeup More

Blake Lively must stand for perfection, since she is always picture perfect.

Want this look?

Eyes - faux lashes are a must, preferably MAC's half lashes. If you're a liner addict, you can line just the top of your eyes and leave the bottom bare.

Lips - Chanel's Rouge Allure Satin Lip Color in Desirable would be the ideal choice.
