The holiday season can be a very stressful time for all of us with an overwhelming number of work events and family get-togethers. And yes, ensuring we look festive enough is definitely a part of that stress-inducing equation as we dig deep into our makeup bags for seldom-used sultry eyeshadows and red lipsticks.

Let's talk bedtime beauty routine. Sure, we know to take off our makeup and brush our teeth before falling asleep, but why is an extended bedtime beauty routine so essential? To put it simply, our skin works overtime at night as our bodies repair and renew skin cells. Having a bedtime beauty routine primes skin to do its best regenerating — and eight hours of downtime is ideal for products to work their magic.

Perhaps you've heard of Urban Decay Cosmetics? The company has been around since 1996, bringing us some of the most beloved priming and setting products as well as standout makeup colors (that we really hadn't seen prior to '96). The brand's slogan, "Beauty With an Edge" is apparent in the quality and variety of colors that have inspired countless other brands. Hailing from Orange County, California Urban Decay has introduced us to many products over the years — some classics we can't live without, others sadly are no longer around (remember the shimmering, lickable body powder?)

Depending on where you live, winter can be harsh, especially for your skin. Heck, even in more moderate climates, drier air and blasting heaters can really suck the moisture right out of your skin, leaving you parched and lizard-like.

Of all the eyeshadow colors we've seen mixed, packaged and sold by some of our favorite makeup brands, red is the one color that seems to be the most unwearable and just plain intimidating. When one of the most rebellious makeup brands, Urban Decay, announced its newest Naked palette would consist of 12 cherry-inspired tones, some were wondering how the heck they'd pull it off (because let's be honest, we were buying it no matter what).
