The Best Makeup-Dress Pairings to Try This Holiday Season

Between the decorating, shopping, party-planning, and party-attending, the most wonderful time of the year is also the busiest. That's why we put together our favorite celebrity beauty looks to complement every fashion choice, so you can spend less time deliberating, and more time mixing and mingling!

1. IF YOU'RE WEARING YOUR LBD

You can pretty much get away with wearing anything with a little black dress, but if you're going for an edgier route like Daisy Ridley, make it a smoke show with smudgy black eyeliner that traces both your upper and lower lash lines. Try a gel formula that you can easily smudge with your fingers, like Maybelline Master Precise Skinny Gel Eyeliner Pencil.

2. IF YOU'RE WEARING FRILLS

Pairing a frilly dress that holds romantic, Victorian vibes with ultra-femme makeup could come off as costume-y. To avoid that, opt for a darker lip color that ruled another decade, like '90s brown. Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick in J Adore is a great dupe for Selena Gomez's look. Finish it off with lots of mascara, full brows, and clean skin.

3. IF YOU'RE WEARING BURGUNDY

"Ruby’s cool tone ombré Ellie Saab gown of blues and merlot shades complimented the 'modern metallic frosty' inspiration perfectly," explained celebrity makeup artist Jo Baker, who created this look for Ruby Rose. "I wanted to keep the makeup reflective, bright, modern, and seasonal by avoiding anything too dark or too colorful." Reach for Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Cuff and apply it in the center of the eyelid, as well as on center of the waterline and along the bottom lash line, smudging with your fingers.

4. IF YOU'RE WEARING EMERALD GREEN

Red might be the complementary color in this circumstance, but that can get cheesy fast. Veer towards the pink family instead, choosing a bright metallic fuchsia or a magenta lipstick hue instead. Channel Lupita Nyong'o with a product like Lancôme's Le Metallique Metallic Lip Lacquer.

5. IF YOU'RE WEARING WHITE

Like the LBD, the LWD can work with a variety of different makeup looks. Try seeking color inspiration from an accessory, whether it's your heels or a floral hair piece like Jennifer Lawrence. She opted for a monochromatic-themed makeup look in blush hues for both her shadow and lipstick. Try Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm  and the Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in Dream.

6. IF YOU'RE WEARING FLORALS

Similar to the frills situation, try creating a contrast with makeup when wearing a floral-printed dress. Poppy Delevingne went for matte skin and a vampy wine-hued lip color, complementing it further with lots of mascara and an unexpected choker. Try Tom Ford's Matte Lip Color in Fetishest.

7. IF YOU'RE WEARING METALLIC

Embrace the matchy-matchy potential by taking that chrome hue to your lids. Get like Rita Ora with a charcoal eyeshadow hue found in a palette like Rimmel Magnif'eyes Eye Palette. Add a white shimmer to the inner corners of your eyes to mimic the light-reflecting elements of your dress.

8. IF YOU'RE WEARING FEATHERS

With a texture as airy and bold as feathers, stick to classics with your makeup. A precise cat eye, as seen on Zoë Kravitz, will never go out of style, and YSL's Eyeliner Effect Faux Cils Shocking Felt-Tip Eyeliner Pen will help you draw on that perfect wing.

Celebrity-Inspired Neutral Eyeshadow Looks That Are Anything But Boring

Image
Neutral eyeshadow shades don't have to be the filler songs of your palettes. It's true that yes, an earth tone is often needed in the background when you're creating a jewel-toned or vibrant smoky eye, but the subtle colors can hold their own, too.While it might seem that the only you're going to get any impact from wearing a neutral eyeshadow is by sweeping it across your entire lid up to the brow bone, a creative application can make a subtle shade stand out—but not so much that it will defeat the purpose of choosing a soft, natural shadow in the first place.Need inspiration? We turned to the red carpet to see how some of Hollywood's biggest wear subtle eyeshadow colors.  1. JESSICA CHASTAIN Instead of using a black liquid liner to draw on a cat eye, use an earth tone shadow for a softer effect. Jessica Chastain chose a shimmery, warm terracotta shade that compliments her ginger hair. For a similar look, try Laura Mercier's Baked Eyeshadow in Terracot

How Facial Yoga Can Make You Look 3 Years Younger

Image
You know that exercise can help keep your body looking healthy and youthful as you age. Now, dermatologists say that a facial exercise regimen can have similar benefits above the neck: Women who followed a 30-minute “facial yoga” routine several times a week appeared nearly three years younger after 20 weeks, according to a research letter published in JAMA Dermatology. Interest in so-called facial yoga has grown in recent years, largely because of claims that it can “rejuvenate the aging face, presumably by inducing underlying muscle growth,” the authors of the new paper wrote. Until now, however, there have been no published clinical trials to assess whether these types of exercises really can improve appearance of the skin and facial features. So dermatologists and researchers from Northwestern University teamed up with Gary Sikorski, the creator of Happy Face Yoga, to test his technique out on a small group of middle-aged women who wanted to look younger. The women were bet
