From hometown get-togethers to formal affairs, the holiday season tends to come jam-packed with events. Below, a list of the beauty basics you'll need to master a complete, go-to look. We'll even tell you how to use them with three step-by-step tutorials from Costco.com.
Tutorial No. 1: Manage party-ready smokey eyes in just seven steps Here's what you'll need:
NOW, THE TUTORIAL:
  • Prep your lids with primer and a neutral shadow. Look for soft nudes or pearl tones.
  • Apply a deep, metallic copper shadow to the upper lid, just underneath the crease.
  • Fill the crease with a dark bronze, following up with a blending brush to blur any lines.
  • Now, dab the copper shadow just underneath your lower lashes.
  • Draw a subtle, shimmery gold shadow across your upper lid from inner eye to mid lid.
  • Line your lids above and below the lashline with brown eyeliner.
  • Finish with mascara, wiggling the wand to separate lashes.

Tutorial No. 2: Contour on the count of four Here's what you'll need:
NOW, THE TUTORIAL:
  • After applying the BB cream, choose a matte bronzer a shade darker than your skin tone. Sweep it along the underside of your cheekbone, hairline and outer jawline.
  • Now, choose a foundation a shade lighter. Dab it under your eyes and along the brim of your nose and center of your forehead.
  • Swirl a muted blush on the apples of your cheeks. From there, glide up toward your temples, blending the blush and bronzer.
  • Edge along the top of the blush with a highlighter, just below the eye.

Tutorial No. 3: Create that fuller lip effect Here's what you'll need:
NOW, THE TUTORIAL:
  • Match your lipliner to your lipstick.
  • Trace the shape of your lips just outside your natural lipline. Exaggerate the cupid's bow and the lower lip, extending the corners outward.
  • Smile to make your lips taut, and then add more liner before blending with a cotton swab.
  • Fill in with lip color, dabbing gloss in the center of your lower lip to soften the look.
