Holiday Makeup Cheat

Is your inbox as flooded with holiday party invites as mine? First off, you have my permission to turn down a few of them, especially if  A) You haven't spoken to the host since last December B) If it's Christmas Eve and you still haven't started shopping C) You suspect you or your child might be coming down with H1N1 flu. A simple, "Sorry I can't make it," is all you need to tell the host.

What is not a good excuse? Having nothing to wear. Check out my Little Black Dresses for Every Figure piece stat. Then use my favorite glamorous makeup cheat that takes 60 seconds (I swear!): Simply swipe on a silver cream eye shadow like Bobbi Brown Metallic Long-Wear Cream Shadow with your finger across your eye lid. Pair with your favorite red lipstick. Now you're picture perfect and party ready!
