We’re starting our tip
list with the basics – foundation! Much like a building, if you don’t
have a strong foundation, your finished look is just not going to be
strong. Test your foundation shade on your jaw
line to ensure you have an accurate match and when applying, blend all
the way down the neck for a smoother finish.
2.
Next up is a
quintessential Christmas favorite, the bold red lip! Although we love
this look for so many other occasions (date night or when you need to
look like a powerhouse at the office…) it’s also perfect
for Christmas occasions – just think of how perfectly you’ll coordinate
with the green and red décor! Be sure to find the right shade for your
skin tone – darker skin tones should opt for colors with an orangey base
to make a brighter statement, and lighter
skin tones can look for colors with blue undertones for more drama.
3.
A smoky eye is a timeless
classic and will always be sure to be a hit at any party this holiday
season. Use black eyeliner to line your eyes on both the waterline and
on the eyelid. Be sure to choose mascara
with black hues to add to the drama and lengthen your lashes, making
your eyes stand out and appear bigger. Throwing in a nice silvery eye
shadow or even some gold sparkle on the eyelid will only add to your
festive aura.
4.
So for those of you who
aren’t all about the red lip need not miss out on the lipstick fun. We
recommend swinging to the opposite end of the spectrum with a subtle,
warm chocolaty nude lip reminiscent of a lovely
cup of hot cocoa! This look is great paired with subtle eye makeup for a
day at the office or doing some last minute gift shopping, but for the
party where you need to turn heads, play up your eyes to add a bit of
drama to the toned-down lip.
5.
The holidays are perfect
for finally sitting down to practice that ever-classic and devastatingly
chic trend, winged eyeliner! This look is best achieved with a gel
eyeliner as it glides more easily and allows
you to create smooth, precise lines on your eyelid. Start from your
inner eyelid and create a line just skimming your lash line and then
extend that line from your eyelid to make your eyes appear bigger and
add a bit of retro glamour to your Christmas look
this year. Using your finger to pull the eyelid skin tight helps avoid
gaps or uneven lines. Throw in some volumizing mascara to add some
further glam and make your eyes pop even more!
6.
Nothing says you’re
excited for the holiday festivities better than a little shimmer! Try
looking for a nice glittery eye shadow, or add a bit of sparkle to any
lipstick by adding a touch of ColorShow lip gloss,
where the subtle sparkle will put you in the Christmas spirit!
