Healing Ointment

It’s a step up from your usual petroleum jelly that’s packed with healing ingredients crafted to soothe dry skin, ease cuts and minor burns and protect from cold wind and weather. What’s even better? You can also use it to boost your eye makeup or use it in place of a highlighter, and it’s great for taming those wild edges. Tuck the travel size in your purse for a fix for all of those holiday parties you’ll be attending!

Glossy Lids

Maybe you’ve seen girls sporting glossy eye makeup on the runways or the red carpet? Well, now you can rock the same trend! For the perfect holiday look to carry you into 2016, press your favorite shadow pigment into your lid, blending slightly upward from the crease and layer Aquaphor atop to create the appearance of wet lids.

Tame Those Edges

If the holiday party gets a little too crowded and your edges are no longer laid, use Aquaphor to slick them back down so you’ll be camera ready all night long.
