With less than two weeks until Christmas I wanted to share my backstage beauty tip countdown with all of you! These are just a few of my favorite ways to enhance your features, look more youthful and get ready for your holiday parties!

10. Here’s my secret to a youthful, bright eyed look. I always use a foundation one shade lighter than my skin tone under my eyes. Apply in a V shape and then gently blend with our Wander Cushion to highlight, lift and conceal any dark circles.

9. Don’t cover good skin! With our Flash Focus Hydrating Foundation Stick you can target problem areas like hyperpigmentation, redness or blemishes and blend for a natural radiant airbrushed effect. Lightly dust our Wanderlust Powder Foundation over your entire face for even more lasting power during your Holiday parties.

8. I love a subtle smokey eye during the day. It's easy to achieve with Wander Beauty’s Exquisite Eye Liquid Shadows. Apply champagne, a warm, luminous shadow, on your eyelids and then blend bronze into your crease to add definition and depth to your eyes which makes them appear larger.

7. Apply your makeup using frontal, natural light, I guarantee you will see more even and perfected application.

6. Light draws attention to your features and brings them forward. I always apply Wander Beauty’s Catch the Light Highlighter in moon to my cheekbones for a lifting effect. You can also apply to brow bones to define arches, inner corner of eyes for an instant awake look, down the center of nose to slim and on cupid’s bow for a fuller pout. The precise tip gets into hard to reach areas with no mess. Trust me a little goes a long way!

5. Wiggle our Slide Liner Gel Eyeliner in bronzed brown between your lashes before applying mascara for a no-makeup makeup look that will add length and volume to your lashes.

4. Peachy and pink blush shades are the most universal and wearable for all skin tones. Apply our On-the-glow Blush and Illuminator in either coral rose or soft pink to the apples of your cheeks and blend outward along your cheekbones for a natural lifting effect. Make sure to neutralize redness on your skin with foundation before applying blush otherwise any discoloration will be enhanced.

3. I love to double my mascara volume with the convex side of our Unlashed Volume and Curl Mascara. Just press and wiggle our S shaped brush from root to tip to unleash your lash potential!

2. I love a bold lip but when I'm on a date with my husband I apply one coat and then blot for a gorgeous long lasting stain. This is also a great tip for women who are experimenting with new shades. Wander Beauty’s Prone to Wander kit contains 6 Wanderout lipstick shades, everything from a nude pink to a deep cherry. It's truly the first matte lipstick with potent hydrators from around the globe that will leave your lips feeling comfortable all day!

1. There's nothing more beautiful than a smile! This holiday season opt for a red lipstick with blue tones instead of an orangey red, your teeth will appear two shades whiter! Try Wander Beauty’s Mini Carryon in Tinseltown.

I hope you enjoyed reading some of my favorite backstage beauty secrets. I will be demoing many of these tips and tricks live on Thursday 12/15 at 8pm ET on Beauty IQ with Alberti Popaj. You won't want to miss our holiday makeup tutorials!

Happy Holidays!
