Smoked Cranberry: Thanksgiving Makeup, Hair, & Outfit (Video!)


I celebrate Thanksgiving with my immediate family and then with my Grandmother's family. One is more casual and the other is a little more formal. I like having hair and makeup that will work for both, so that way I can change my outfit and go. Today I'm sharing a tutorial, using mostly drugstore products, that is really fast and easy for a casual look. I did my hair and makeup for this video in under 15 minutes! My eye makeup might be a little dark for you, hence the "smoked cranberries" but I wanted to make sure it showed on camera (lights wash me out) and I was doing this without a mirror. These are only suggestions--do and use what you'd like. What is your Thanksgiving like? Is it formal? Casual? Enjoy the video below.

Makeup (watch video for tutorial):
  • Maybelline Color Tattoo: Pomegranate Punk
  • The Balm Nude 'Tude Palette
    • Seductive, Sultry, Sexy, Sassy, Sleek
    • I chose this cranberry-plum shade since it would be complementary to most skin tones. Red cranberry is hard to wear. If you can't find this palette, try a similar color from a Maybelline Eye Studio quad (like Mad for Mauve) or a cranberry-plum blush.
  • Em Cosmetics Liner: Brown
  • L'Oreal Butterfly Mascara
  • Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush: Plum Wine
  • Revlon Matte Balm: Elusive
  • Revlon Parfumerie Polish: Bordeaux

Hair (watch video for tutorial):
  • Divide hair into 2 sections.
  • Twist away from face.
  • Run flat iron over twists. I used one with wide plates.
  • Shake loose waves.

Outfit:
  • Plaid flannel shirt--Old Navy
  • Cranberry sweater, jeggings, booties--American Eagle

  4. You look so nice in cranberry-like colors! I haven't decided what I am going to do for Thanksgiving if anything. We keep it suuuuuuper casual, it will just be me and my parents and my brother and his fiancée. I usually wind up eating dinner alone in my room which sounds way sadder than it is. I see my family all the time so we don't really need the time to catch up on anything, lol. I use the time to watch whatever movie my little heart desires while having delish fake turkey.

  12. I love the colour, it's so yammy, rich but not screamy and I think it suits everybody. I use it mostely in make-up and accessories. But your sweater inspired me to buy something of this hue;)

  24. I like your flannel shirt. This year I am spending Thanksgiving at a friend's house and it will most likely be a very casual afternoon so I think a dress will do.

  28. Your eyes look SO pretty. And I love your outfit! You look fantastic in red. :)

  29. You look beautiful! Our gathering, when we do it as a WHOLE family thing, it's semi-formal. When we just do it here at home with our kids and grandbabies, it's not formal in the least. Usually, I've cooked all morning, so getting all dressed up and ready is just not something I'm interested in doing, lol.
