When you’re about to reunite with all your friends for the first time in months, it’s not exactly the best time to start experimenting with new beauty looks. Save perfecting the smoky eye for another weekend. Instead, keep your makeup super simple. A few coats of mascara, a bright lipstick, and that’s it.

A bold red lip is festive, and it’s also an easy way to add some color without looking like you’re trying too hard. NARS Lipstick in Shanghai Red, $24, is the perfect shade of scarlet. For a more wallet-friendly option, try L’Oreal Colour Riche in True Red, $9.
