Holiday parties are a time for celebration, sparkle, and of course, stunning makeup looks. When it comes to creating a radiant holiday makeup, a good starting point is a flawless complexion. A matte foundation coupled with a dab of concealer under your eyes will give your skin an amazing base to work with. Setting your foundation with a translucent powder helps to lock it in place and prevents it from creasing or smudging. Now, let’s talk about highlighter. The holiday season is the perfect excuse to go all out with your highlighter. Apply it to the high points of your face to give your skin a stunning glow.
Let's move on to the eyes, the windows to our soul, and according to most, the feature that can make or break your makeup look. For a classic holiday look, try going for a gold or silver smokey eye. However, if you want to step out of the box, why not try a green or red eye look? These colors are very festive and proper usage can leave a lasting impression. Always remember to blend your eyeshadows properly, this enhances the final look. For added sparkle, apply a shimmer shadow on the center of your lid. Finish off the eyes with a black winged liner and lots of mascara.
Last but certainly not least, let's talk about the lips. Bold lips are a holiday mainstay. You can never go wrong with a classic red. If you prefer a more muted yet sophisticated look, opt for a nude lip. Remember, the key to a great lip look is a hydrated base, so make sure you moisturize your lips before applying your lipstick. If you're using a matte lipstick, apply a lip balm first to prevent your lips from drying out. And with a final spritz of setting spray, your holiday party makeup look is complete. With these tips, you're certain to dazzle and shine at any holiday party.
