5 Must-Have Holiday Makeup Looks

The holiday season is in full swing so you need to have just the right look for all your holiday parties. Whether it’s an ugly sweater themed party or a fancy dinner, be ready with the right festive look for every occasion. Here is your list of 5 must-have holiday makeup looks:

1.       Go for the Gold

Gold has made quite the comeback as more and more styles accessorize with gold jewelry, even mixing them with silver. Your eyes will really sparkle with shimmery, metallic eyeshadow, especially with gold, champagne, or rose gold tones.

2.       Make Your Eyes Pop

If fake lashes aren’t an everyday look for you, why not pull out all the stops for a special occasion? After a long week, make your eyes pop with some fake lashes and winged liner. If your eyelids feel too heavy with full lashes, add a few individual lashes, especially to the outer corner of the upper lid, instead. In true Adele perfection, use a bent liner brush to apply a cream liner. If you start from the outside and work your way in, it’s easier to redo it if you make a mistake.

Emphasize Your Brows

Fill in sparse areas with a brow pencil. Don’t overdo it, though. Natural definition of your arch will add some boldness to your look without being overdrawn. The trick to the perfect brow shape is to follow your natural arch.

4.       Rosy Cheeks

Festive rosy cheeks add a little something extra to your typical nighttime look. Before you put on blush, lightly apply shimmery pink illuminator cream to your cheeks.

5.       Cranberry Matte Lipstick

The typical bright red lip will surely do, but if you want to try something different this holiday season, go for a deep cranberry shade. With shimmery eyeshadow and highlighted cheeks, a matte lip will balance out your look.
