Perfect your complexion
Apply concealer just where you need it, then dab highlighter on the inside corners of eyes to make them big and bright. Find both products in dual-sided Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Conceal & Brighten ($35).

Sculpt cheeks
“Contoured cheeks give instant lift to the face,” Wilson notes. Brush a mosaic pink blush, like Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in Blushing Rose ($10.95; drugstores), from your temples down to the apples, using the natural angles of your cheekbones as a guide.

Sweep on shadow
“Chrome-colored shadow works on all skin tones,” Wilson says. For maximum impact, apply Dior 1-Colour Extreme Eyeshadow in Argentic ($27.50) along your top and bottom lash lines and up to creases.

Add oomph to eyes
Wiggle the brush of a black volumizing mascara close to your top lash lines then sweep it over lashes (this adds drama but doesn’t take as much time as liner). Try L’Oréal Paris Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara ($7.95; drugstores)

Stain your lips
Long-lasting lip stains don’t require post-eggnog touch-ups. Apply a rich berry version, like CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain in Plum Pout ($7.29; drugstores), then use your finger to press in the color for a pretty, muted effect.
