If you’re wondering how to embrace holiday beauty this season, try drawing your hair and makeup cues from the gorgeous Vanessa Hudgens. This week, the 29-year-old actress made a statement as she stepped out at a Joico hair event at Ross Lujan Salon in Los Angeles. Hudgens rocked a short and flirty bob with front bangs and flipped up ends. Her raven tresses were pulled back on one side and pinned into place, with the other side of her hair worn loose around her visage.

Not only are we coveting her look of the day, we are also admiring her Christmas-ready makeup. Hudgens manages to rock glossy, bright red lipstick and rosy, contoured cheekbones. Meanwhile, her darkly outlined eyes, pale pink eyeshadow and multiple coats of mascara help to create a chic, classic look. For a finishing touch, her full eyebrows and glowing smooth skin helps to pull the statement together. As you go about creating your signature holiday beauty this season, turn to the brunette star for a perfect example of festive girl next door makeup.
