“The holiday party season is the perfect time of year to get creative with your look. Use these tips for inspiration on how to spice up your look for any special event. “– Sue Devitt

TIPS:

1. For smoldering eyes try jewel tones all over your eye lid for a subtle effect coupled with a swipe of sexy grey or black eyeliner. To add depth and dimension outline your top and bottom lash line with a deeper shade of black or grey eye shadow.

2. The best way to amp up your look for a night out is with long, lush lashes. You can achieve this by using a lengthening mascara. Apply 2 - 3 coats for bold dramatic lashes that stand out!

3. Keep cheeks hydrated and healthy with a glowing cheek gel in soft subtle shades. Nude, pink, beige, or coral work best for light and medium-toned complexions and berry shades are best for olive or darker skin tones.

4. Most women wear a neutral or pink lip everyday. To switch it up for a special occasion - a deeper berry tone lip is the perfect way to do it. Don’t forget to add a touch of sparkle with a clear gloss on the middle of your bottom lip. This trick says "holiday" in a subtle and sophisticated way.

5. To complete any look remember to highlight. Place a pale sheen eye shadow underneath the brow bone and blend well. Champagne or gold is lovely for light and medium skin tones and pale gold is great for olive or darker skin tones.

WEEKLY MUST-HAVE: Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil

Black liner should be a staple in every woman's makeup bag. But it's hard to find the right black liner -- one that doesn't smear or run, one that glides on with ease and stays put, and one that keeps it's bold color long after you've applied it. I've found the perfect black liner: Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil in Pointe Noir.

 It's water-resistant, fool-proof and smudge-proof. The oversized pencil allows for easy application while the formula glides directly on the lash line. You can also use it to create the perfect smokey eye with the blendable sponge that comes attached to the opposite side of the pencil. Thanks to the ingredient Nylon-12, the Eye Intensifier gives you "a rich, luxurious and crease resistant finish."

**Sue's Secret Beauty Tip: Apply Eye Intensifier Pencil with the Sue Devitt Lash Line Definer Brush for precise application along the lash line.

The pencil comes in several shades ranging from grey to lavender to a deep black - my favorite.
