Ten of the 11 pieces from the new RiRi Hearts MAC holiday Collection, coming December 2013
The new 11-piece limited edition collection is loaded with products ideal for going from the office to your after-work parties.

You can even employ these quick and easy party prep tricks from your desk. just make sure your office crush isn’t lurking…because it’s kind of strange when someone you like hangs around to view you line your water lines.

Trust me on this.

1. swap that daytime nude lipstick for a bright, bold shade.

Lipsticks from the left: pleasure Bomb (a matte fuchsia with a Matte finish), RiRi Woo (a matte amazing red with a retro Matte finish), and Badgal RiRi (a taupe-y nude with a Matte finish); $16.50 us and $20 CAN each
Nude lipsticks like taupe-y nude bad Gal RiRi keep you looking polished and professional throughout the day, even when you’re this close to beating the crap out of that prehistoric copy device (why is that thing always broken!?).

But when quittin’ time rolls around, swap that nude lippie for a brighter shade, like amazing red RiRi Woo or fuchshia pleasure Bomb.

BOOM! just like that, you’re one big step closer to a party-ready look.

A bright lip pumps up the jam but takes very little effort. Plus, this one’s long-wearing matte finish photographs very well, and it’ll last through dinner and drinks, so you won’t even have to touch-up throughout the evening.

2. forget the force, Luke. embrace the shimmer!

Veluxe Pearlfushion shadow in 2X dare ($44 us and $52.50 CAN)
As for your eyes, you won’t need hours (or years of experience) to get them party-perfect. A easy wash of shimmery eyeshadow all over your lids, followed by one or two coats of mascara, does the job in less than five minutes.

If you like yourself in cooler color temps and tones, try the cooler shades from RiRi’s Veluxe Pearlfushion shadow in 2X Dare. Gals (and guys, of course) with warmer skin tones, try the warmer-toned Phresh Out instead.

Both palettes of shimmery, high-shine eyeshadow have creamy textures that blend like the proverbial butter.

3. All that glitters is good!

Superslick Eye Liners in Cockiness (a shimmery rosy gold) on the left and Pisces Persuasion (a shimmery white frost) on the best ($20.50 us and $25 CAN)
No time for eyeshadow? Kein Problem. get a glittery liner like the Superslick Eye Liners in shimmery white Pisces Persuasion and shimmery rose gold Cockiness, and rapidly run a thin line along your upper lash lines.

With both of these liners, thanks to their fine flecks of glitter, you get a glimmer of sparkle without looking like you’re headed to da club. Of course, if you want to look like you’re headed to da club, all you have to do is make your lines thicker and much more dramatic.

And because the Superslicks wear well and last long, you can do the robot till dawn without them disappearing.

4. Who’s down for a two-step…smokey eye?

Easiest smokey eye evah!
If you feel like going smokey with your eyes, try this quick two-step…

Smudge your favorite creamy black or brown liner on your lids, feather out the edges with a brush (or finger), pat a shimmery eyeshadow on top, and blend out the edges with your favorite blending brush.

And if you want much more drama and depth, bravo! also line your water lines.

5. forget sexy! Bring the bronzer back.

Bronzing Powder in Love, Rihanna, a soft golden brown with gold pearl. The “R” is an overspray, unfortunately, but it doesGehen Sie in der Pfanne ziemlich tief hinunter – obwohl nicht ganz nach unten (30 US-Dollar und 35 US-Dollar)
Sparen Sie Zeit, indem Sie Ihre Bronzer Multitask machen!

Sicher, Sie können es verwenden, um Wärme überall hinzufügen und Ihre Wangen zu konturieren, aber Sie können es auch verwenden, um Ihre Augen zu definieren.

Nachdem ich zum Beispiel mit dem zweistufigen Rauchauge oben fertiggestellt habe, lud ich einen Mac 217 mit Riris Bronzing-Pulver in Rihanna und fuhr es in meine Knicke, um die Ränder der rauchigen Schatten zu mildern und meinen Augen zusätzliche Dimension zu geben.

Ich fegte Liebe, Rihanna bronzing Pulver auf meinen Wangen, über meine Stirn, die Seiten meiner Nase hinunter, in der Falte meiner Augen und an meinem Kiefer zur Kontur, um meine Haut insgesamt Wärme hinzuzufügen (das ist das neue 48-Riri-Herz-Mac-Make-up von 48 $ Tasche in meiner Hand, übrigens, was 40 US-Dollar und 48 $ kann)

Und da gehen wir! Fünf einfache, luftige Wege, um vom Büro zu einer Urlaubsarbeitsparty mit der Riri Hearts Mac Holiday Collection zu gehen, die in diesem Dezember an alle MAC-Standorte in Nordamerika und Maccosmetics.com (auch im Dezember von internationalen Vorlagen, mit Ausnahme von China).

Ihre freundliche Nachbarschafts-Schönheits-Süchtiger,
