Carry a Travel Mist Bottle On the Go

"Fill a travel mist bottle with your favorite essence or alcohol-free toner and never leave home without it," he says. Your mist will hydrate and refresh your makeup on the go and also tame frizzy hair, he says.

Next time you need a pick-me-up, stash Meow Meow Tweet Geranium Palmarosa Face Toner, $24, in your handbag for a burst of antioxidants and nutrients.

Use Multipurpose Products

"My quick beauty hack for the holiday season is to prioritize multipurpose products," says Sarah Bigger, makeup artist and founder of Clove + Hallow. One of her favorite tips is to add a few drops of Clove + Hallow Hydraglow, $20, to primer or moisturizer to create a radiant finish.

Glow-Up Your Skin

"The holidays can be stressful and your skin can look a bit lackluster before your big holiday event," says Rick DiCecca, global makeup artist for Artistry by Amway. Consider applying an illuminating face moisturizer before putting on your makeup or a mask the night before your event to achieve a luminous glow, he suggests.

To keep your skin looking luminous sans makeup, apply E.L.F. Illuminating Moisturizer SPF 15, $8, to achieve a soft and natural shine.

Highlight Your Best Features

"Apply a neutral shade of highlighter to your eyelids, the top of your cheekbones and above your cupid's bow for instant holiday sparkle," DiCecca says. If you don't have a highlighter, you may use any shimmery eyeshadow in a neutral shade as a substitute, he adds.

To glow like a pro this holiday season, try using a neutral-tinted highlighter like Urban Decay Naked Skin Highlighting Fluid in Aura, $28, to achieve a soft and gorgeous sparkle.

Use Undereye Patches

"Undereye gel patches are a lifesaver," says editorial and celebrity makeup artist Maddie North. Just wear them for a few minutes on the way to drinks or dinner and you'll look (and feel!) refreshed for any event.

To keep your eyes looking fresh and revitalized, try using the Knesko Nano Gold Repair Collagen Eye Mask Treatment, $16, during your Uber ride to keep puffiness and dark circles under control.
