It’s that
time of year again when everything you wear, every pumpkin spice latte, every
holiday décor, and every makeup look becomes an “insta-moment” begging for the
perfect photo. If you want this year’s
photos to one-up last year’s pics then it is time for an update. Here is the Face This guide to the top beauty and fashion looks that will
garner lots of likes and not have you stressing out rather than enjoying the
holidays. Consider this your cheat sheet
shortcut to Instagram-worthy style.
Makeup: last year was all about contour, sharp-edged
eyebrows, and ombré lips. If you don’t
want to be called out as an “Insta-victim” embrace a more natural look, using
“non-touring”, soft full eyebrows, blended eyeliner, and choose either a smoky
eye or deep berry-toned lip, but not both.
Leave the harsh edged lines and unnatural skin tone to last year’s feed
and let your own authentic beauty and uniqueness shine through. No more clones – or clowns. The holidays are too busy for a 10 step,
time-consuming beauty routine.
Hair: the biggest hair crime of the holidays is
spending too much time one it when you could be doing one million other
things. Make sure you have your hair cut
and colored in advance so there is no last minute panic. Commit to easy styles that aren’t trendy so
that you look like the best version of yourself and not some trend-aholic. You don’t want to look back in years to come
and be horrified by your hairstyle.
Instagram is just that – instant gratification, but these photos are your
life and are today’s photo album, so err on the side of classic great taste and
veer away from the trendy - your future-self with thank you. Unfussy buns,
loose braids, sleek ponytails, and side parts with touchable hair that moves is
romantic, chic, and most of all easy to achieve. For a little something extra, try hair
embellishments for some sparkle and drama.
Party Style:
Choose one amazing color to stand out and feel festive, ground it with black,
and add well-placed bling that doesn’t compete with the holiday lights. A sexy, fitted sheath dress in deep red with
a jeweled neckline means you don’t have to look for the perfect necklace. If jeans are your uniform, no need to leave
your comfort zone to dress for the festivities.
Look for jeans that are embellished with rhinestones, pair with a silky
shoulder-baring blouse and sequined pumps and you will be the envy of everyone
who overdressed and can’t eat or move – and what’s the point of a holiday party
if you can’t enjoy yourself??
Baby, it’s
cold outside! No need to bulk up to be
warm and cozy on the weekends. Skinny
jeans in over-the-knee suede boots, chunky striped sweaters, and cashmere
scarves won’t have you drowning enormous layers. When the temperature dips throw on a great
parka in a neutral color over top and pop on a beanie. You don’t hibernate all winter, so neither
should your sense of style!
You better
WORK! You work hard and so should your accessories. Investment pieces like
classic watches and handbags go the distance all year round and are instagram
gold. This year scarves are a fresh
addition and can give a chic update to any outfit. Worn on the wrist, tied to purse handles, as
a neck scarf or pocket square, they are luxurious and feminine and beg for a
photo. Embellishments elevate the
classic sweatshirt to profession level and are just about the most comfortable
item to wear to work. Athleisure wear
hits the boardroom - that’s a trend that can hang around, thank you very much!
Follow these style and beauty tips and be Instagram-ready for all your photo ops - no Instagram regrets this year!
