The Perfect Holiday party look (red lips)

Last week Kelly Clarkson had a Christmas TV special air. While I'm not really a Kelly Clarkson fan, I happened to flip to it and Ruby started dancing to her music- so that meant I couldn't change the channel. 

And while she has an amazing voice (and some songs that I really liked) I couldn't help but stare at her flawless makeup. Kelly Clarkson was wearing the perfect Holiday Look! A soft eye (taupe-y, shimmery eyeshadow, tiny winged black liner), highlighter on the cheeks for the *glow* and the lips... those red lips are the perfect shade of red! They had a velvet matte look, which gave them some staying power, and were expertly applied. Cheers to her glam squad!

The best part about her look is that you don't need a team of experts to help you look amaze! Here's some red lipsticks that should help you have that perfect pout:

Now if you're not a lipstick wearer, you can always do an opaque gloss, lip stain or even a tinted lip balm. I just think if there's ever a time of year to wear lipstick, this is it.  

So for your next Holiday gathering, put this look together and spread some cheer with a bright red smile :)

p.s. did you notice her lips match her nails? Bonus points to anyone who does this!!
