All That Glitters is Gold: Holiday Makeup Tips
The holidays are upon us – and so are the seemingly endless party invitations. In order to look appropriately glam for every RSVP, we deferred to Rue Stylist Rachael for tips on updating our standard smoky eye and red lip.
Her advice? Go gold. We did – and love it. Here’s how to nail the look.
Eyes:
- Snag three shades of gold eye makeup – light, medium, and dark.
- Always use eye primer before application to prevent creasing.
- Apply the light shade of gold from the top of your brow down to the lid. This will create a pretty, soft sheen all over.
- To create depth and dimension, apply the medium tone to your entire bottom lid.
- In a triangular motion, apply the darkest shade to the corners of your eyes.
- Line them up: Using a flat liner brush, apply liner to the top and bottom lid. For brown eyes, use a navy blue liner. For green eyes, use dark brown or experiment with a purple liner. For blue eyes, black or blue liner will work best for this look.
- Apply liner only halfway on your bottom lid.
- For lashes, double up layers to intensify volume. A standard black mascara should be used for all eye colors.
Face:
- To achieve that dewy look, apply a touch of moisturizer all over.
- Apply a thin layer of foundation.
- Pro tip: Cover up blemishes with concealer after you apply your foundation. As Rachael says, concealer will be your BFF when you’re running on a work-to-party schedule this season.
- Use a soft pink blush to finish the look and keep your face looking fresh.
Lips:
- Instead of going down the road of classic red, a bright berry hue will pop against all skin tones.
- Prepare your lips by gently exfoliating with a baby toothbrush and Vaseline®.
- Using short strokes, apply a liberal amount of liner. For brighter colors, liner will last longer than a gloss or lipstick. Permission to party all night without reapplying? Granted.

You’ve heard the rumors — but now you’ve got proof. There is absolutely nothing in the world that compares to the sweet sensation of a baby’s skin. It feels good, it smells good — heck, it even tastes pretty sweet when you kiss it. But there’s a downside to that brand-new and delicious epidermis: Newborn skin is ultrasensitive to a host of potential irritants. Some might cause bumps, others a bright-red rash. Most of these baby blemishes are perfectly normal and will pass with time, especially if you know how to treat them. Here’s a roundup of the most common skin conditions that can develop in your baby’s first year,”

Many parents underestimate the sensitivity of their child’s skin. While it may be tempting to save money and use the same dry skin care products on your baby’s skin as you would on your own, this can cause serious problems. Imagine using bar soap on the sensitive skin of your face as compared to a specialty product designed for the chemistry of your skin. It would likely end up causing you a great deal of discomfort. The same thing would happen to your baby’s skin if you were to consistently use products geared for adults to cleanse it. An unhappy baby can be a very loud baby, and dry skin can make babies incredibly unhappy.^
