Tips for a perfect Thanksgiving makeup look
- Use a hydrating primer for a smooth base.
- For dewy cheekbones and browbones, tap a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor on top.
- For blush, go for warm tones like rich peach or berry since they blend well with most skin tones and lip colors. Add a bit of blush on the bridge of your nose for a sun-kissed effect.
- For lips, choose a brick-red, wine or deep berry shade to fit the fall mood. These colors are flattering and festive without being overly bright. Long-wear matte formulas are best for lasting all throughout your meal.
- A setting spray or powder will ensure your makeup holds up throughout dinner and beyond. This will help control shine and keep everything in place.
- Get your makeup palette in line with the seasonal color trends.
