Ahh yes! Christmas! The season for joy, carols, gifts, gatherings and of course, parties. Whether it’s a cosy family gathering, a casual office party, or a more extravagant celebration, all of these are valid reasons to dress up and look good.
Nothing completes your wardrobe like a touch of makeup to further elevate that gorgeous Christmas look. Open that wish list and get those beauty products online or go to the store and buy the whole shelf. There’s no better excuse to splurge money on cosmetics gifts for yourself than Christmas. Well, apart from your birthday.
Now to justify that spending and to make good use of those products, sit in front of that vanity and try on some of these looks!
Bold Red Lips
This is a classic look. It goes with the theme of the season and can almost always complement any wardrobe choice this season. And of course, it never fails to stun.
Experiment with different shades to narrow down on the lipstick that truly stands out with the rest of your look. Bright red, berry red, wine red. Endless options, endless ways to be bold.
Cat Eyes and Winged Tips
Bring out the eyes with some sexy lines. Using your liquid eyeliner, bring out that seductive inner goddess with thick bold lines that end in a thin winged tip. These eyes are a perfect match for those bold red lips mentioned earlier.
Take it a notch up and go for a more glamorous look with some glitter wings. Not only does it catch the attention of everyone around, it truly makes your eyes shine.
Bring Out That Shimmer
Add that touch of glow with a little bit of gold shimmer to your skin. This will take a while and you must prep your skin beforehand for the best results. Exfoliation and primer are key to a good long-lasting glow. Then go in and highlight those cheekbones to truly shine. If this is your first time doing this, find the time to experiment with different shades and layers of skin cosmetics to find the right look for your complexion.
Smokey Eyes
Another great look for Christmas. Subtle but complements well with almost every look you can try. It’s achieved with shades of eyeshadow, close to your complexion, layered with some smokey or metallic silver. To take it to the next level, don't layer it evenly across your lids. Instead, keep the eyeshadow more prominent towards the outer edges of the lids to give it the same winged or cat-eye effect.
Quirky And Dazzling
Don't just try to find that perfect eyeshadow or glow to match your outfit. For example, embrace the spirit and go with the iconic candy cane white and red eyeliner to get that striped candy cane effect. Or paint a small glittering mistletoe leaf at the corner of your eyes, where your winged eyeliner ends. You can use shades of eyeshadow darker than your complexion and then use that as a background to paint on tiny golden stars or white snowflakes.
You don’t want to look plain during the biggest festival of the year. Just get on with the festive spirit and let your creativity run wild with your makeup!
