Most of my celebratory holiday agenda has been during nights, which typically means I’m either darting from work or racing up snow-filled steps (Inside scoop: The Charron family is not know for being on time) to the gathering’s front door with Doug helping to brace my less than graceful entrance and Gracie on my hip. I’m sure by now you’ve read between the lines: If there’s more than a few minutes to get ready, I’m lucky.
Here are some tips on how it’s done!
- Keep The Makeup Light. I have become a huge fan of the natural look, primarily because I’ve done the whole “10 step process” thing and it really just doesn’t work for my lifestyle. Not only do I genuinely not know how to apply heavy makeup without looking like a clown, but I feel super weird when wearing it. My routine has become drilled down and simple: Mascara, eye shadow (maybe eye liner if I’m feeling wild), blush and lipstick. Always lipstick.
- Stay Fresh All Day. Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant is key here. It goes on instantly dry and provides 48 hours of odor and wetness protection in addition to caring for skin. I’ve been a huge Dove advocate my whole life – I love their soap because it’s mild and doesn’t irritate my very sensitive skin, and their antiperspirant spray is no exception!
- Have A Few Go-To Hairstyles. This makes styling hair super quick and easy because it takes the fuss out of it. For me, wearing my hair down, half up, in a braid or bun are my go-to’s. They’re easy, look good every time, and work with pretty much any outfit.
- Keep To The Classics. If you’re in a rush and are stuck on what to wear, go with the holiday classics. Things like a little black dress, or a plaid shirt with jeans and heels, work every time.
