Ah, those Christmas photos...

So, here we are. It's 2 days before Christmas. You might already be at your family's house. You might be on the way. But, it's inevitable. At some point, someone will pull a camera out. Now, I know most of us don't tend to keep an entire makeup case handy for touchups. So, here are a few tips for gorgeous photos all day.

1. Use a smoothing serum on your hair. This is for curly and straight haired ladies. No frizz or flyaways + shine= beautiful hair on camera!

2. I recommend a lip stain so that you always have a rosy smile. Don't have time to order Benetint? Run to the drugstore and grab one of the Cover Girl lip stain pens.

3. Pink blush looks the most natural on film. Peachy tones tend to look orange. Again, you can also use a cheek stain here for all day staying power.

4. Now, when you are posing, remember 2 important things. When you smile, push your tongue into the roof in your mouth. Also, if this is a shot being taken from the front, push your head out a bit. Both of these tricks help alleviate any of that ugly "faux double chin" that can occur that you don't know about until you see the picture afterwards!

All that being said, whatever holiday you choose to celebrate this December, I hope you have a wonderful one. I am so grateful for my readers and look forward to a beautiful 2010! I'll be taking a break for the rest of this week, but I'll be back next week with some New Year's party glamour ideas!
