We are in the holiday season, which means festive parties and fun family get-togethers. But preparedness doesn’t just stop at finding a fab outfit and perfect holiday hair– you need the perfect holiday makeup to complete your look and rock this year’s round of holiday shindigs. You will look and feel your best with these tips for your holiday makeup routine.
Eyes
Try one of two options for perfect holiday eyes: either the top lid with a simple lining or a soft green smokey eye.
Use a thin pencil (black for darker skin tones, or brown for fairer skin) and draw an eyeliner line across the upper lid as close as you can get.
Use a lot of mascara under your lower eyelashes and a light tan shade on top to really make the eyes pop.
The amazing thing about this makeup style is that the look has the versatility to go smoothly with any lip color – nude, pink or a fun and festive bright red!
Then, you can: sassier smokey green eyeThe most important thing is to not choose a green shade that is too bright or too light. This can make your skin look pale and bring you back to your 80s. Choose a softer, darker shade of green.
Line the outer lids, inner rims, and inner lids nearest to your eyelashes in a medium-dark green eyeliner. Then dust a slightly lighter green shade on top. Sorme Smearproof Eyeliner Black Jade, and theBalm Balmsai Eyeshadow & Brow Palette are our favorites.
This look is finished off with mascara. For extra drama, use a mascara in a green tint. Warning: This eye colour is so vibrant and different that it will look awful with any other lip shade except for nude. Leave the traditional holiday colours in the decor. This look works best with a nude lip.
Lips
You can rock a sexy and fun red during the holidays, like Sorme Perfect Performance Lip Color Glamour Red. Just be careful what look you incorporate with this bold look – dark, heavy or very dramatic eye makeup will make your look too intense. Instead, try a lighter eyeshadow in a nude color or bronzes and browns. When creating dramatic looks, focus on just one feature.
Face
The holidays are an excellent time to show off dramatic eyes and lips. However, you should also make sure that the rest of your face is in order. Do not go overboard with bronzer or blush, but you can add a touch of shimmer or highlighter to your look. We love Sorme’s Shimmer Glow – Bronzed and Cindy-Lou Manizer Highlighter, Shadow & Shimmer by theBalm.
After you’ve perfected your holiday makeup, now it’s time for your hair to match.
