a very merry christmas project

there's only one time of year you can get away with wearing a wreath headband and red lips.

and that time is NOW! 

it's most wonderful time of the year.
Christmas, of course!
 
i got extra festive this week and headed over to my local Michaels
to pick up some supplies to make my festive headpiece.
 
here's what i used...
and a glue gun.

easy, breezy.
 now let's talk makeup.

Fire Down Below by Nars is my absolute, hands down, favorite red lipstick i've ever owned.
not too dark.
not too light.
just perfect.

▴ fun fact ▴
Fire Down Below is the exact color of human blood which makes it universally flattering on everyone's skin tone!

i've paired the red lips with a totally matte face,
 classic black liner,
lots of black mascara {on the top lashes only}
and a very neutral eyeshadow. 

by keeping the rest of your face clean and simple it ensures that your makeup won't look overdone and crayyy crayyyy.

give this look a try at your next holiday get together.
i promise you won't regret it!

xoxo
