It’s the season to capture those beautiful holiday moments—and who doesn’t want to feel their best in these cherished photos? Here are some of my top tips for looking and feeling great in your holiday photos?

🤳🧑‍🧒🧑‍🧑‍🧒🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🧑‍🧒‍🧒🤳

🎀🪮💋Hair & Makeup Tips 🎀🪮💋

Go with a timeless look and hairstyle that makes you feel beautiful. Personally, I feel best with my hair down and curled, so that’s what I’ll do.

Makeup: I love a natural polished look. I recommend starting with color correction and complexion coverage—the LimeLife Perfect Foundation photographs flawlessly! A touch of blush (the new cream blushes are amazing), a bit of mascara, and don’t forget the brows! Framing the face by filling in or taming brows with a pencil or brow gel makes all the difference. And don’t skip the lipstick! Whether you go for a natural shade or pop of color, lipstick polishes off the look. I recommend shades like Ruby Chocolate, S’mores, or Buttercream for a neutral look. For something bolder, Sugar Plum, Sugar Cookie, or Red Velvet are beautiful options!

👗👔Wardrobe Tips 👗👔

Coordinate without Matching—This vibe creates a cohesive look without everyone wearing the exact same outfit. Cozy sweaters, festive dresses, and simple accessories work great.

🌈Color Themes🌈

Here are a few color themes to make your photos stand out:

Classic Red & Green—Perfect for a traditional holiday feel.

Winter Whites & Neutrals—Elegant and perfect for a snowy vibe.

Jewel Tones(Emerald, Burgundy, Navy)—These colors pop beautifully on camera.

Soft Sages & Beiges—Timeless and gorgeous.

LimeLife would not be LimeLife without Margaret. When we were searching for a skincare line, my almost-sister Margaret was fighting Triple Negative Breast Cancer. At one point she said, “Michele, you cannot bring another skin care line into this world that has harmful ingredients. It is harming women.”

I felt this weird conflict. I totally understood the importance of what she was saying and yet I wanted to bring the best beauty products into the brand. Weren’t synthetic chemicals important for effectiveness?

To keep my promise, I went back to a vendor that I had met years before, a scientist from California, who had spent almost a half a decade studying natural ingredients and their effectiveness. I asked her to produce a face oil for our brand. That was all I wanted, something that would create a “dewy look.” Months later, she delivered 11 products, all free of harmful chemicals, and asked me to test them. I distributed the line to 12 people with varying skin types and asked them to try the products and let me know what they thought.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. I had my 5 favorite products, Madison had her 5 (which were different from mine), and there were at least three people who called each of the 11 products a “can’t live without.”

It was then that I realized how brainwashed I had become. The entire beauty industry had been telling me, basically my whole life, that chemicals were the active ingredient and without them you might as well put nothing on your skin. Imagine if television and print ads focused on totally natural active ingredients and all the incredible existing scientific proof of their effectiveness. Ingredients like lemon, tea tree oil, natural clay, aloe, essential oils, etc. Wouldn’t you think differently? Wouldn’t you think that someone who promoted chemicals was weird/wrong/peddling voodoo? Perhaps the same kind of skepticism some have for LimeLife.

But highlighting natural ingredients really wouldn’t be good for business. You can easily get your hands on natural ingredients, but you can’t get your hands on a test tube of that specially-trademarked complex that promises the fountain of youth or magical cure for acne. If you want to sell a lot of skin care products, you find a synthetic ingredient that does something effective, you create a very powerful scientific name for it, you trademark it, you inflate the cost of it (because who the heck would know), and you tell women that it is the latest, newest best thing ever through mesmerizing campaign ads and fancy packaging.

Margaret woke me from this spell, this marketing myth I bought into. She put me on the right path, one that is so much more authentic to who I am.

If Mother Nature could take out an ad at the Super Bowl perhaps she would say, “I have the most powerful lab in the universe, it’s called Earth and I make the most transforming ingredients from roots™, flowers™, seeds™, leaves™, bark™ and soil™” But I don’t think even that would totally break the spell.

Before she died, she told me to tell everyone about her story and why it was important to use LimeLife. It felt a million types of icky to use her struggle to sell product. But I now know what she really wanted me to do – challenge your thinking because it could cost you more than just the product price.

This blog and this skin care line is for you, Margaret. Miss you and love you.”

*With Love, Michele

A side note from me:

Years later, I’m incredibly proud that the products I recommend to my clients daily continue to honor that original vision. Not only did we begin with clean ingredients, but we’ve also gone even further, aligning with EU cosmetic standards that ban over 1,300 ingredients still allowed in many U.S. products. Our skincare is not only free from parabens, sulfates (SLS), and phthalates, but it’s also vegan, cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny certified), and made right here in the U.S. by chemists who are committed to sourcing the best and most effective, sustainably grown ingredients from around the world. It is highly rated and something I am proud to stand behind as I know my customers will use it daily without worry. LimeLife truly believes in offering skincare we can trust inside and out.
