The downside to all of this fun is that a lot of us kind of look like zombies come New Year’s Eve–which is a night that we’re all supposed to shine and look super gorgeous! So, how to revive your sad, zombie face super fast before that New Year’s Eve party? It’s so easy, and you already have the perfect beauty solution in your handbag.

Take a pink, peach, or ruby colored lipstick, and lightly dab it on the apples of your cheeks once or twice. Rub it in with your fingers, pushing it up toward your ears at a bit of a diagonal. Blend any weird edges so the color looks more natural and . . . voila! You’ve got color in your cheeks (goodbye zombie pallor!) and are ready to party like it’s 2013! Of course regular blush works, too, but I love multitasking beauty products, don’t you?

So, how can you wear red lipstick and look hot instead of horrifying? It’s easier than you’d think! First, since you’re playing up your lips, keep your eye makeup simple–no bright or bold eye shadows! Then, use a nude-colored lip liner to keep your lipstick from bleeding outside the lines. Finally, take your time when you put it on. Do not attempt to put on red lipstick on the bus, on the way to school, or while you’re walking down the street. It will look like a hot mess!

Once your lipstick is on, blot it once with the back of your hand to keep it from smudging on other stuff. Voila! You’ve got perfect red lips!

Could Your Makeup Make You Stupid?!

If you’re ready to get into the full holiday spirit, I would definitely recommend trying these looks out. But the best thing about them isn’t just their Christmas cheer… it’s the fact that these outfits can be worn at any time of the year (I rhymed! Total accident). Try ‘em out for some cute new looks that will most definitely get you noticed. If you want to buy the items pictured in these sets (and why wouldn’t you?!), just click on the image for more info. Here are 10 adorable Christmas outfits:

A snowflake

Take some glittery inspiration from a snowflake – a sparkly gray skirt paired with dotted gray tights and a white sweater is a super cute combo. Add some glittery sneakers, a pretty blue coat, snowflake gloves and a snowflake necklace, and you’re basically indistinguishable.

Mrs. Claus

You don’t need to look like a cuddly grandma to channel Mrs. Claus. Just pair a simple red dress with a white cardigan, some sparkly flats, a green beanie and a pair of hipster glasses for effect. Cookie earrings and cookie scented body wash complete the look.

Cindy Lou Who

Head-to-toe pink can be a little intense, so instead of a pink dress, like a comfy pink sweater with skinny jeans. Pair it with a red bow headband to get Cindy Lou Who’s innocent look and Converses – this is basically the comfiest outfit ever.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

Why would you want to look like a reindeer? Um, because this outfit is really cute, that’s why. Brown jeans and a muted top give you a reindeer look while bright red nail polish is similar to Rudolph’s nose. To make this look even more obvious, wear this too-cute-for-words reindeer hat.

Candy Cane

Who says white pants can’t be worn after Labor Day? Definitely not true. Pair these jeans with a loose red sweater and black boots for a very festive look. And if you smell like candy cane scented body wash and lip gloss, we’re pretty sure everyone will get the hint.

Andes Mints

You know these yummy chocolate mints that appear every Christmas but then seem to disappear the rest of the year? Yeah, you can dress like them. This outfit is cute, girly and funky – it’s basically perfect for a first date (and he’ll never guess you’re outfit inspiration).

Frosty the Snowman

I think this is my favorite look. It’s so simple, but so cute. Add a black beanie and red scarf to your white sweater and jeans. For a super cute touch, pair this with snowman earrings and a snowman mug.

Buddy The Elf

Yellow tights are an awesome pop of bright color during a dreary winter day, so don’t be afraid of them. If you want to get seriously funky, you can add this fun Christmas hat into the mix.

Charlie Brown

I bet you never thought you’d get outfit ideas from Charlie Brown, huh? Well, I have to say that he gives some pretty good ones in the Christmas movie. Wear a red coat over your orange tee and jeans, and add in a few touches of brown with your shoes and hat.

New Year’s Eve Ball

And finally, get into the spirit of New Year’s Eve by decking out in as many gold sparkles as possible. This dress is perfect for the occasion with black tights and a little clutch. Get a super dramatic look with fake eyelashes and heels.

Bake Christmas Cookies

What is Christmas without Christmas cookies? I couldn't tell you. They're absolutely necessary to having a good holiday. And, fine, if you're too lazy to make them, at least buy them.

Practice Fake-Liking Gifts

You're going to get some pretty awesome gifts this year... but let's face it, you're also going to get some pretty awful ones. But since it's rude to tell someone how much you hate what they picked out for you, it's a good idea to practice some fake smiles and "OMG I love this" phrases.

Find A Way To Give Back

Don't forget, Christmas is actually about giving... not receiving. It's the happiest time of the year! So why don't you get in on the joy and make some less fortunate people happy? Go to your local church or homeless shelter and find a way to volunteer. Or, steal our intern's awesome idea. Either way, you'll be making someone else happy and also making yourself happy.

Go Gift Shopping NOW

What's the worst thing you can do on Christmas Eve? Answer: Run to the mall and frantically search for a present for your brother because you kept putting it off. Trust me. Nothing good is left and at that point, you're so desperate for something that you'll end up settling for a lame gift you're embarrassed to give him. Plus, it ruins Christmas Eve traditions, like eating dinner food as your mom cooks it.

Buy Yourself A Present

While you're at the store, pick up a little something special for yourself. What?! That way you'll know you have at least one thing to look forward to getting. Think about it. I'm not even joking. You deserve to treat yourself sometimes, and Christmas is the perfect excuse.

Make A Holiday Mix You Actually Like

It's December, which means you will be hearing Mariah Carey's version of Christmas songs everywhere you go. There's no escaping it. So do yourself a favor and make a holiday mix that you actually enjoy. Play it for yourself while you're wrapping gifts and eating cookies. It'll definitely make you feel festive.

Throw Away Your Scale

It's the holidays. You're going to eat, probably a lot. Whatever. So don't even look at that scale in your bathroom. You don't need to stress over your body 365 days a year, and Christmas is a time to just enjoy yourself.

Buy Festive Shoes... That Are Comfortable

You're going to need a cute outfit for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve... and whatever else comes up in between. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of comfy but cute shoes. Nothing is worse than feeling full while trying not to fall in a pair of painful heels.
