Holiday Glam on a Time Crunch

The festive season is upon us, and with it comes a whirlwind of social events, gatherings, and parties. While it’s exciting to celebrate with loved ones, the pressure to attend every function can leave us feeling frazzled and short on time. If you’re struggling to fit in a leisurely beauty routine amidst the chaos, fear not! We’ve got some quick and effective tips to help you get glammed up in no time.

Breathe Easy with Bergamot

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a cue from the calming effects of bergamot essential oil. This citrusy scent has been shown to reduce anxiety in mice, and while we’re not mice, it’s worth giving it a try! Add a few drops to your scarf and take a deep breath to calm those pre-party jitters.

Focus on One Fabulous Feature

Forget about trying to achieve a flawless, full-face look in minutes. Instead, focus on accentuating one standout feature, like bold red lips or a dramatic cat-eye. This will add a touch of glamour to your overall look without breaking the bank – or your schedule.

The Power of All-in-One Products

Why bother with multiple products when one can do it all? An all-in-one blush and lip creme can give you an instant glow in seconds. Look for a product that suits your skin tone, like RMS Lip2Cheek, which comes in a range of shades from deep burgundy to dusty nudes.

Mascara Magic

If you only have time for one beauty product, make it mascara! A good mascara can add drama and definition to your eyes, making even the simplest look seem polished. Opt for a high-impact formula like Benefit They’re Real! or Yves Saint Laurent The Shock.

Shower and Shine

Here’s a pro tip from eco makeup artist and hairstylist Sally Biondo: shower after applying your makeup! This might sound counterintuitive, but it can leave your skin looking youthful and radiant. Just be sure to avoid getting your face wet.

Remember to Breathe (and Decline)

Lastly, don’t forget that it’s okay to slow down and prioritize self-care during the holiday season. With the constant pressure to attend events and look perfect, it’s easy to burn out. So, take a deep breath, and don’t be afraid to hit the decline button every now and then. Your mental and physical health will thank you.
