Too Much Eggnog? Here's Your Ultimate Holiday Beauty Survival Kit


Just in from a snowy walk you have a glowy flush, your eyes are bright and your lips are chapped pink. Unfortunately, you'll probably be just in from the central heating and fluorescent light when you show up to the holiday party. It can be hard to look holiday-ready for the myriad occasions expected of you throughout the holiday season. Just when you're completely sleep deprived, bloated, and hungover, it's time to see your entire extended family for the first time in a year. That's why you need a beauty emergency kit for the holidays. Here's what's in my go-to grab bag.

 
  • The Multiple

    A multiple-use stick in a super flattering shade will work on cheeks, lips, and eyes in a pinch. NARS The Multiple is the classic, and their cult shade is Orgasm, a slightly shimmery peachy pink. Personally, I prefer a slightly darker shade, G-Spot. (Yes, the innuendo runs deep with this product.) This product works everywhere on your face, and has that "you, but better" quality everyone is always searching for. If you find a flattering shade, it's practically the only beauty product you need. It's super portable and you'll be surprised how much you find yourself reapplying a cheek product once you actually have it on hand. Really perks up your entire look.

  • Secret Camouflage

    This is another cult favorite. If this is a bit more than you usually spend on beauty, the key in looking for a substitute is something that comes with two shades for blending or using in different ways. This conceals dark circles from too many eggnogs the night before or wrapping presents until 2 a.m. masterfully. You'll want to use the light shade under eyes, and the darker shade on blemishes or any splotchiness. With an array of shades to choose from and then the further ability to blend to a perfect match, it's the individualization that makes this product a must have.

  • Flash Balm

    Once I was turned on to this product, I saw it everywhere at New York Fashion Week and on beauty shoots. This is like the sleep deprivation remedy for your face. (For your mind, you're going to have to roll the dice with those 5-hour-energy fear-mongering stories.) This brightens and tightens and just gives your skin that "glow" that is so hard to define and replicate. Fun fact: this product is sold once every 20 minutes worldwide. You're going to need moisturizer after running in and out from the harsh heat to the wind and blistery cold, so it might as well be an awesome moisturizer.

    Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, $45

  • Ruby Woo

    People notice your face almost more than your clothes, and the easiest way to appear dressed up is to put on a statement lipstick. Even in your regular clothes from work, you'll look like you've put in extra effort or changed your look up a bit. MAC Ruby Woo is considered a universally flattering red lipstick, but if you are just really not a red lipstick person, whatever your brightest, most daring lipstick is should take up permanent residence in your makeup bag for impromptu festive cocktails and those nights you don't get home to change before festivities.

  • Dahlia Noir

    This is a new perfume, and a new perfume always makes me feel a little special and is a good conversation piece. And this one is especially interesting since the Black Dahlia doesn't actually exist, but is an invention of Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci. It's a feminine fragrance. One of the most important aspects for the purposes of our current topic is that it's long lasting. If you apply your perfume in the morning and forget about it, then you need something long-lasting to get you through holiday soirees. A noticeable (not overwhelming) scent helps you appear more put-together and polished even if you didn't have time for a major beauty routine. Also if you didn't have time to shower.
