With the holidays upon us, there are gifts purchase, soirees to attend, and Champagne to sip. In this month’s Lifestyle Media Group Magazine Article, I’ve asked some of the top local beauty experts for their picks on which must-have beauty products you should incorporate into your holiday look!
1. Rachel Shapiro, Professional Makeup Artist, Delray Beach/Boca Raton, info@rachelsbrides.com
MAC Prep+Prime Highlighter: This is by far the one product I believe every woman needs. Apply alone or over concealer for the perfect holiday glow. There are four shades available, but I swear ‘Bright Forecast’ works for everyone and is my personal favorite. $26; MAC Cosmetics and department stores
2. Natalie Gee, Owner of Gee Beauty, Bal Harbour Shops
Dr. Sebagh Deep Exfoliating Mask & Dr. Sebagh Luminous Glow: I love the combination of exfoliation plus hydration; it’s the key to a bright, gorgeous glow and will give you camera-ready skin. I leave the mask on for 15 minutes, wash with warm water, and follow with the cream for instant luminosity. My foundation then goes on smoothly. $173, $155; Gee Beauty and www.geebeauty.com
3. Erica Russo, Bloomingdale’s Fashion Director of Beauty
Bobbi Brown Deluxe Cheek & Eye Palette, Holiday Giving Collection: I’m loving the current bold eye trend and the holidays are the perfect time to experiment with color. This product is great because you can choose from matte to shiny shades in some the season’s most flattering tones. $85; Bloomingdales and bloomingdales.com
4. Nathalie Helene, Hair & Makeup Artist, Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, NathalieHelene@hotmail.com
Diamond Oil Glow Dry by Redken: It’s the best serum for blowout perfection. The smell is absolutely intoxicating, and a little goes a long way. I like to use it on damp hair before I blow-dry and a tiny bit after. It’s weightless and makes my hair feel so soft and uber-shiny. I also like to put some on my shoulders and arms for a little glow – no pasty holiday pictures! $32; Ulta and Amazon
5. Leah Moskowitz, Beauty Blogger, www.livelovelipstick (aka my pick!):
Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin Velvet Matte Lipstick: There’s nothing like a great red lip for the holiday season. Christian Louboutin has created possibly the most stunning lipstick tube ever, which also doubles as a necklace. You won’t want to attend a party without it! $90; Sephora and department stores (If purchasing online, this hot item is either backordered or sold out, except for Saks – buy now!)
Cheers to looking and feeling fabulous this holiday season!
Xo,
Leah
