ALL EYES ON YOU

How to turn heads at holiday soirees

‘Tis the season for socializing! With the onslaught of holiday and New Year's parties just around the corner, bring your beauty A-game and get ready for your close-up. There’s a time for sticking to classic and safe looks – but ringing in the New Year is not one of them. Dare to stand out from the crowd with these tried-and-true tips.

Have immaculate, glowing skin.

The best secret weapon for any makeup look? Starting with a base of crystal clear skin. Pamper yourself the night before the event with a Whitening Source Derm Revival Mask, which delivers a concentrated dose of brightening and moisturizing ingredients into your skin. You’ll wake up with radiant and touchably soft skin, and any spots or imperfections will appear diminished. Your makeup will glide on effortlessly, and no one can resist the look of flawless skin that appears to glow from the inside out.

Make a bold beauty statement.

Choose one look-at-me beauty feature and work it: a bold hued lip, a funky manicure, a glittery eye shadow, or a daring hairstyle. For a head-turning fashion look, wear a unique print, silhouette, or embellishments to stand out in a sea of LBDs. You could also opt for a bold accessory, such as a statement necklace or shoulder-grazing earrings that are bound to be a conversation starter. Just don’t overdo it by trying too many clashing statements at once, or you could look like you’re starved for attention.

When I’m going to holiday parties, I like to put on an SK-II mask right before I apply makeup on my face. The key thing is to have glowing and dewy skin, and a mask does the trick to make you stand out in the crowd.

Exude confidence.

Having a great makeup look is a good start, but to get noticed and remembered, you have to appear confident from the moment you make your entrance. Body Language is important, so stand up straight with your shoulders back, hold your head up, and smile. Need a confidence boost? Walk through the crowd with younger-looking skin that you just can’t wait to show off - use STEMPOWER to banish the appearance of aging signs like wrinkles, fine lines and sagging.

Make eye contact.

Look people in the eye when you speak with them, and smile with your eyes. Try to get enough sleep the night before to avoid looking tired with dark under-eye circles. To make sure your eyes look their best, use STEMPOWER Eye Cream to keep the skin in your eye area looking firm and supple, eliminating any dryness and under-eye darkness, in turn making your eyes appear more youthful and alert.
