Hi Sugarplum!

Beauty Files | Holiday Hair & Makeup

October 26, 2020

Hello friends, and welcome back to a new week! We had an uneventful weekend, which was perfect after all the excitement from last week!

I think fall is finally here to stay (give or take the rogue hot days that are sure to pop up), so I switched over my closet for the seasons… and donated five bags to our local women’s shelter in the process! Such an incredible feeling to minimize, and know the clothes are making someone happy.

Okay, last week was all about our Home for the Holidays Collection clothes, so now let’s turn our attention to the other star of the show… the makeup! Specifically in my case… the lipstick! In fact, my lip colors are one of your most frequently asked questions, and such a big part of the looks, we organize the shot list by lip color!

And once again, Suzie Moldovan, the award-winning makeup artist whom I’ve worked with for all our Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Collections, found some of the most gorgeous and flattering shades, and it’s all available at Nordstrom!

Hair Products & Tools //


Olaplex No. 4 Shampoo | Olaplex No. 5 Conditioner | Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother | Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil | Moroccan Oil Medium Hold Hair Spray | Moroccan Oil Strong Hold Hair Spray | Dyson Hair Dryer | T3 Curling Iron (On sale!) | T3 Styling Wand (On sale!) | DryBar Self-Grip Rollers

 

Just to show you the power of good makeup… how’s this for a Before and After! We started Day 1 of the photoshoot with the cozy and casual styles, so we kept the makeup softer, with a light lip and loose curls.

Mac Satin lipstick in ‘Pink Nouveau‘ is a soft pink that’s perfect for adding a touch of natural color, and the satin formula is moisturizing and long-wearing.

Once we shot all the loungewear, it was time to push the lip up to something bolder, and Hourglass Ultra Slim High Intensity in ‘I Can’t Wait‘ is a stunning bright pink that brightens the whole face, and perfectly matches the pink and plaid of our Collection.

Not only is the packaging so glam and chic, but the slim tip makes for easy and precise application.

For Day 2, we upped the glam factor a bit with a smokier eye (same colors, just a little more smudging and mascara!), more volume in the hair, and a bold holiday-red lip… Mac Satin lipstick in ‘Mac Red‘.


Olaplex No. 4 Shampoo | Olaplex No. 5 Conditioner | Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother | Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil | Moroccan Oil Medium Hold Hair Spray | Moroccan Oil Strong Hold Hair Spray | Dyson Hair Dryer | T3 Curling Iron (On sale!) | T3 Styling Wand (On sale!) | DryBar Self-Grip Rollers

Suzie’s hands are in my hair and on my face before literally every single shot. I remember how uncomfortable and awkward it felt the first time I worked with her, and now it feels as natural as if it were my own hands!

Of course I had to have all these lip colors for myself, so I headed straight to Nordstrom to stock up, and have been wearing them all on repeat. I’m a huge fan of their buy online with curbside pickup option. They just released their Holiday gifts, and their beauty sets are some of the best! Find those HERE.

Are you a bold lip girl, or do you prefer to keep it neutral? I got my love of bright lips from my grandmother, she always told me to ‘Put your lips on!’ I think it just instantly brightens your face and smile. I think all of these shades would be favorites for her.

I hope this post was helpful and gave you some fresh new colors for the holiday!

    Could you please tell the name of the foundation and color?

    Thank you!

      Hi Debbie! She doesn’t use a single brand or color for the foundation, but rather uses a mix of products applied to different parts of the face! But for everyday, we both love Nars Tinted Moisturizer and It Cosmetics CC Cream! xo. C

    Thanks for sharing the makeup and hair products you used. Everything looks amazing! I’m curious if you take any specific supplements for your hair, skin and nails. If you’ve already covered that in another post, can you let me know which one? Thank you and keep being awesome!

      Thanks so much, Michelle! I put a scoop of collagen peptides powder in my coffee every single day… it strengthens hair and nails, among other things! Link below! xo, C

    Hi Cassie. You and Mama SP are as beautiful as ever. I have purchased so many of your makeup recommendations and so many lipsticks. I, too, love a bright lip and feel so naked without it. Although I voluntarily wear a mask and will gladly continue to do so to protect myself and others, boy do I miss seeing my face brightened by the lipstick when I’m out. Oh well, all in good time.

    • Cassie says: October 28, 2020 at 10:02 am

      Hi Kathy! I certainly understand that dilemma! We can just smile under our mask knowing we have our lips on! xo, C
