Get the Holiday Look with #MeijerBeauty

I received beauty products from Meijer to help promote the Meijer Beauty Department. All opinions expressed are my own.

The holidays are filled with parties and reunions with family and friends. This usually includes lots and lots of pictures and you’ll want to look your best. Meijer asked me to create a holiday look with some of my favorite beauty picks. Many times during the season, I am running from work out to an event and I need to make a quick touchup or glamour up my look.

So let’s get started, this was me after a long day at work. I had just run to Meijer to pick up a few items and definitely could use a touchup (also, it’s really hard to take a selfie and not look like a weirdo):

Here are the items I needed to touch up my look:

Meijer supplies

They included Ponds Cleansing Towlettes, Maybelline Eyeshadow Quad in Natural Smokes, Maybelline The Falsies, CoverGirl Outlast Lipcolor in Radiant Red, Maybelline Master Hi-Lighting Blush in Light Bronze and Maybelline Master Kajal Eyeliner in Onyx Rush.

STEP 1

Take a Pond’s Towlette and wipe off your eye makeup. You can also touch up your foundation if you need to. This is me with just foundation (EEK!).

STEP 2

Take your eyeshadow palatte (which is conveniently labeled) and apply the “Base” color on the entire eye area from lash to brow.

STEP 3

Next, you want to take the color that says “Crease” and apply it to the crease of your eye using a windshield wiper motion. I tried to count how many times I went back and forth – probably 75-100 motions before it blended the way I wanted it to.

Then take the color that says “Lid” and apply it just to your lid. Now don’t worry here if you are making a mess and the color is all over you eye – we will clean this up at the end.

STEP 5

For the next step, I used one of the little applicators that came with the palette to apply the “Eyeliner” color to my lashline both above and below.

STEP 6

Next up, you apply the black eyeliner to your lashline AND your waterline. This might look sort of gross but I always apply eyeliner to my waterline. It really makes your eyes pop.

Apply your mascara and make sure to cover all of your lashes on the top and bottom. This brush is curved so it helps in that department.

STEP 8

Take a Q-Tip and clean up under your eyes. I also like to add my concealer after this step so I have a nice clean undereye.

STEP 9

Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks. I LOVED this blush – it has a shimmer to it and blends wonderfully!

STEP 10

I was so excited to see this lipcolor at the store. I used to wear CoverGirl Outlast all the time at college parties. It stays on all day and all night! You apply the lipcolor and wait about a minute for it to dry and then you apply the clear color on top of it for shine and to moisturize your lips. It will not move – you can eat, drink, kiss – whatever and when you wake up the next morning it will still be on your lips. You can reapply the clear color as much as you want throughout the night.

STEP 11

Apply powder if you want and you are ready to go! While I was doing this tutorial I also curled my hair so I was ready to hit the party. I was much happier with the after pictures, as you can see:

So there you have it – this is pretty much my go-to holiday look right now. Simple yet effective. I would love to know how you glam up your everyday look for the holidays.
