HAIR {MUST} DO

Adding a bow is a fast and easy way to turn your regular old ponytail into a chic hairstyle. Whether you do a full pony or half, make sure you choose a thinner ribbon that's not too long. 

NAILED IT

Yeah, going to the nail salon for a mani isn't insta, but if you get a quality gel manicure, your nails will look sharp and last you through the few weeks of holiday parties. Ask for a sparkly accent on one fingernail to really get into the holiday spirit.

EYE POP

A very simple way to elevate your look is to add false eyelashes. It may take you a few tries to get the hang of it, but once you've mastered it, you'll be able to apply them in a minute. The trick is to find the right look that flatters your eye shape. Be gentle and take care of them and they'll last you a few wears.

TIP: use scissors to trim if they're too long for your eye shape.

GIMME COLOUR

A version of this look can be achieved with minimal fuss. Just add a deep red or wine long-lasting lipstick, shimmery gold eyeshadow {over brown eyeshadow so it really pops} and lots of mascara.

JUST ADD SHIMMER

Anyone can pull off shimmer. Trust me! How to do it? Choose one item- either a top or bottom piece and keep the rest muted with basic neutrals like black, white, grey or beige. Even a pair of jeans can be made party-ready by just pairing them with a sequenced blazer or embellished shirt. Add heels to pull it all together and you're ready to P-A-R-T-Y! 

BLACK WITH A STEP UP

If you like classic looks, go for all black with a pop of leopard print. Choose a form-fitting black ensemble and a basic leopard print pump. Easy and chic! TIP: add a red lip for extra va-va-voom!
