I’ve worked with Mary Kay® a few times and I always love sharing their products with you. In times past, the products I’ve received from them have included lots fun colors and allow me to step outside my makeup comfort zone. I have to say that this was one of my favorite looks! When I saw the shimmery eye colors and bold red lip color, I was immediately excited about dressing up with this look for the holidays.
After trying the lip color just once, I was sold. I haven’t saved it for the holidays, not at all. I’ve been wearing this fun color every day. To get the look I lined my lips with Plum Lip Liner, if you’re like me and a little nervous with a lip liner pencil, don’t fret. It was really simple, I lightly traced my lips with the liner, and then add NouriShine Plus® Lip Gloss in Sparkle Berry. Once I added the Sparkle Berry, the colors blended it so well, I don’t know that I’ve ever met a more perfect holiday red.
But, it’s not just the lips that created this look. The eye color complimented my lips perfectly. Each color is from their Mineral Eye Color collection. To start with, I swept a little Granite mineral eye color over my eyelids and used a blending brush to blend it to my temple area. Then, I applied Moonstone mineral eye color to the inner corners of my eyelids and swept a little more color along my brow bone. To complete the dramatic eye look, I accented with Coal mineral eye color. I used a little Black eyeliner along the top and bottom of my lash lines, and completed the look with Ultimate Mascara in Black.
I have to say that I was already sold on this look before I even finished it off with blush. I’m kind of sold on the blush I normally use, but that all changed when I put on a little Mineral Cheek Color in Sparkling Cider. It really completed the look by adding color and warmth to my cheeks. I actually wore this look to our Halloween party and I had several people asking about the new look. I’m pretty smitten the mineral products and the whole Merry Berry look.

Sonya Morris says
My favorite way to get a holiday look is a darker eyeshadow with mascara. I can’t forget the lipgloss…only because my lips dry out like crazy without keeping something on them at all times! I can never get blush on without looking like a clown so I concentrate more on my eyes.
