“While mixing too many trends can make you look overdone sometimes two looks are better than one! Winged eyeliner paired with a deep red lip creates a slightly retro look that somehow feels perfectly of the moment!”

The final look!

Get The Look Video: Holiday Luxe

I was so excited to stumble upon Clean, Pure and Simple – a blog about Manhattan, Whole Living lifestyle. The editor, Sara Jane Mercer, does it all – cooks, coaches (she’s a Holistic Health and Wellness Coach) and writes both on the blog and also for Whole Living Magazine. Her attitude towards wellness is friendly, approachable and inspiring – definitely has become one of my daily reads.

And being the beauty junkie I am… I automaticlly zeroed in on her great knowlege of natural skincare and makeup lines like Tata Harper, Jane Iredale and Ilia Beauty. So, after a little chatting, we decided to debut a series of beauty videos created by Sara and her makeup artist, Rebecca Casciano, on Belle Belle! Over the next couple of days, you will find several Get The Look short films featured. To get us started… Holiday Luxe. Hope you enjoy as much as I do.

“Holiday makeup should be all about shimmer and shine! For holiday parties and New Year’s Eve I like a bold eye with a slight metallic feel to it. When emphasizing your eyes make sure to keep the rest of your face subtle and neutral or you risk looking overdone!”
