holidays

If you, like me, are going to spend Christmas at home with your family (and extended family), you’ll probably want something festive but not too elegant. Particularly if you are the hostess, you’ll want something you can move around in.

A  short-sleeve blouse or top will keep you comfortable in a warm kitchen, and a sprinkle of sequins will eliminate the need for much jewelry. Black pants in a flattering cut will keep you looking put-together while keeping you comfortable, especially when you add a pair of cute embellished flats.

You’ll probably want to opt for minimal makeup, so make it count: Benefit makes some really fantastic all-over face powders and other products to improve and brighten your complexion. Add some MAC lipstick in Creme in Your Coffee (my new favorite nude lipstick) and BADgal Lash in plum – I know, it seems like a peculiar shade for a mascara but is actually incredibly flattering and really makes your eyes pop!
