This is likely your go-to look for every holiday party you’re invited to — it sure is mine. And because it’s the giving season, you might want to treat yourself to a holiday party makeover at your favorite beauty counter. But which one can pull off the look the best? In a mission to find out, I brought the country’s two biggest beauty retailers a fun little challenge. That’s right — it’s a holiday makeup challenge! When describing this look to my coworkers, I didn’t once use the word “holiday.” I believe my exact phrasing was, “Kate Middleton goes to the club.” It was radiant and totally perfect for everyday wear, but very subtle for an evening event. Where is the glitter? Where is the sparkle? Where is the GLAMOUR? Sigh. She used NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation ($49, Ulta) foundation and added color to my face with a variation of Tarte and IT Cosmetics blushes and bronzers. For added drama, she glued on a pair of Ardell Wispies ($6, Ulta) and put liquid liner on both of my lash lines. Sephora’s look, while still beautiful, didn’t have a clear focal point… and it wasn’t fancy enough for a fun holiday party. Otherwise, you could leave your holiday makeup appointment without enough holiday cheer — or worse yet, not enough glitter. And no one wants that.
