Looking for makeup that’s glamorous and chic but simple and elegant? Here’s a quick, easy, step-by-step guide to perfecting the ideal Holiday look.
The base and foundation
Holiday makeup that’s worthy of the occasion starts with the right base. It’s the secret to bringing out your inner light and awakening your look.
So, before you begin creating your Holiday makeup, start by preparing your skin with products from your beauty routine that are best suited to your skin type, and then use a base and finally, unify your complexion using your favourite foundation.
Pro tip:
To give better definition to your finest traits, complete your base makeup with a little facial contouring.
How? Simple. Just use a bronzer to shade the hollows of your cheeks, the sides of your nose, around your forehead and along your lower jawlines. Next, apply a lighter concealer under your eyes, along the bridge of your nose, in the middle of your Cupid's bow, the tip of your brow bone and the centre of your forehead.
Glamorous eyes
This Holiday season, why not add a touch of green to your look? Tone-on-tone eyeshadows and pastel colours work wonders. Looking for eye makeup that’s worthy of your winter festivities? Just follow these easy steps...
First, you'll need...
- Pupa Made to Last pencil-in shade n° 29.
- Personnelle Cosmetics Luminosité eyeshadow palette.
- Clarins eye pen, Forest colour.
- Clarins Wonder Perfect 4D mascara.
Then, just follow these simple steps:
- Apply the Made to Last pencil all over your eyelids and along your lower lash lines.
- Add a touch of shade no. 4 from the eyeshadow palette to the same areas, and then blend in with a brush.
- Line your inner eye contours with the Clarins Forest-green pen.
- Complete by applying one or two coats of mascara.
Let your lips shine!
For brilliant, natural-looking lips, apply a layer of Chubby Stick lip balm from Clinique (try the Graped-Up shade). Next, cover your lips with Lip Comfort Oil from Clarins in the Raspberry shade.
Cheekbones that glow...
For the final touch on this glamorous Holiday look, add a touch of colour and light to your cheekbones.
First, using a makeup brush, apply a layer of Oceanly Happy Berry blush from Attitude to your cheeks. Next, tap your fingers lightly to apply the Oceanly Sunset Glow stick illuminator to make your cheekbones glow.
Then, to complete the look, apply a little Oceanly Phyto-Oil facial oil to your cheeks and the bridge of your nose and you’re good to glow!
