    We know it's tempting to wear lots of glittery makeup during the holidays, but the more light your face reflects, the bigger your features will look, potentially making any puffy areas appear worse.

We love the Tarte Glamazon lipstick in Pure, a pretty light rose color, which doesn't look overly shiny on lips and stays put.
