‘Tis the season for spreading cheer, feeling good and looking your best — which is why I’ve teamed up with Neutrogena to share with you some tips around how to achieve holiday glam, while maintaining fresh healthy skin!

Healthy Skin with Neutrogena

I’ve always been a big believer in Neutrogena. They were my preferred brand in high school when I started to get very conscious of what products I’d use on my skin. My skin type is definitely on the combo side between oily and dry. It took me awhile to realize (as I always thought I leaned towards oilier), but now that I’m older and in sync with my body I know the habits and needs for my skin.

Take a primer for instance — I’ve learned I can’t put on makeup without it. It serves as the perfect base for my skin to not only help maintain a matte look, but also to minimize pores and provide the vitamins my skin needs before applying layers of makeup. This applies to the concealer and foundation I choose — ingredients are huge for me as I know my skin is sensitive and often reacts a certain way if I’m not conscious of what I’m putting on my face.

Which leads me to Neutrogena’a products. Their Healthy Skin Line provides a luminous, yet natural look. Their formula contains a unique blend of antioxidants including Vitamin E, natural Soy and Feverfew Extract along with SPF 20 to help improve your skins overall tone and texture. These are the things that you want to look for in makeup so that you’re actually treating your skin alongside adding to it’s overall aesthetic. Your skin will literally be enhances and provide you that glow you’ve always wanted.

Holiday Glam with Neutrogena

So you know Neutrogena is all about healthy skin, but what about being able to give you that show-stopping holiday look that can take you through the new year? Sounds impossible right? Especially if their makeup is good for your skin. Well think again. You don’t have to cake on the black eyeliner and extra dark glistening eye shadow to create that glam look. Neutrogena’s got you.

Take the below photo of celebrity Eiza González for instance — she’s literally red carpet ready. And since I didn’t believe I could achieve the look myself using Neutrogena’s select products, I went ahead and created a live video tutorial to showcase the transformation…

PS… don’t mind the amateur vlogging level vid —  it’s my first one, hehe

And PPS… I may have gotten the celebrity look I was recreating during this video wrong (face palm)

As you can tell from the video as I apply each of the products, I was and still am super impressed with the way they felt on my face after every application. The look lasted well throughout the night and I highly recommend any of the following items to add to your makeup toolkit.
