Regardless the event you have to attend, you shouldn't worry too much about your holiday makeup. Whether you choose something more discreet and girly, or rather bold and sophisticated, there are numerous options for every taste and style. Following just a few easy holiday makeup ideas you can get a flawless, sweet look or an intensified sparkling effect without giving the impression of trying too hard.
The holiday season gives a certain feeling of wanting to shine and
escape from all the common habits even when it comes to makeup. Now it's the perfect
moment to try something new and different, it is time for you to be
glamorous and bold. Based on your personal taste and the party you
have to attend and following some holiday makeup ideas will be able
to transform yourself into a charming princess or a seductive
woman.
A holiday makeup doesn't necessarily requires bold, vibrant colors,
sparkles or dark, smokey eyes. A luminous, glowing skin, barely
colored lips and eyes can be both sexy and romantic. Therefore,
using light pastels for the eyes is a thing your should consider
when choosing your holiday makeup. A great option for those of you
who want something more discreet, yet perfect for the holidays is a
makeup in a minimalist approach. With subtle shades, this type of
makeup works great for everyone.
Choose an eyeshadow in darker, sandy shades. Apply it at the roots
of the lashes, both upper and lower. Next, apply mascara and a lip
gloss in a natural color. If you consider this makeup palette
rather monotone, add a shimmery accent on eyelids or the Cupid's
bow. You can choose to emphasize your eyes or your lips. Therefore,
a fine, soft line on the upper lid or a strong red lipstick
represent simple, yet stylish and effective holiday makeup choices.
Besides, red is the one color representative for the winter
holidays.
As we have said before, you can be elegant and charming without
overusing sparkle and metallics. In fact, what can be more
sophisticated and chic than the classic, timeless smokey black that
seems to reinvent itself every season. Contouring the eyes, these
holidays, you can replace black by cobalt blue, brown, purple, or
plum shades, which add a mysterious touch to your smokey eye
makeup. The secret of a flawless makeup stands in the way you apply
the eyeshadow and the ability to perfectly blend the shades. You
can achieve this too with some basic skills and a good applicator,
or even better. If you find it rather hard to use a brush, you can
use the finger.
Begin by applying on the lid a dark brown eyeshadow, starting from
the inner corner of the eye towards the exterior, from the
eyelashes line and above the crease. Above, apply a cobalt navy
shadow blurring the color into the crease and along the eyelashes.
Using a black kohl make a line at the roots of the eyelashes and on
the inner margin of the bottom lid. As the eye makeup is rather
powerful, keep your lips as natural as possible applying a neutral
color or just lip gloss that will enhance the natural beauty of
your lips. However, if you want to try something more daring, use a
red lipstick. Hot and really festive!
Now, it's time to forget about all those boring rules and go for
something more dramatic. Vibrant colors are great for the holiday
season as long as you wear them with moderation. You can apply an
eye pencil in a brighter, vibrant color, such as purple or green.
Make a thicker line on the top lids and then use the eyeshadow in
the same color in order to secure its fade-proof. Don't apply
anything else, just mascara on the upper eyelashes and a coat of
lip gloss in a light pink shade. The key is not to exaggerate with
the use of colors.
Now, if you want something bolder, try an interesting combination
between the yellow eyeshadow and black eyeliner. Choose a black
liquid eyeliner and make a cat eyes liner. Wait until it dries and
use a thinner brush in order to apply the yellow eyeshadow. For a
bit of sparkle, use some golden eyeshadow on the inner corner of
the eye. Next, apply a gentle coat of mascara and some lip gloss in
a peachy-orange shade.
However, since most of the events take place in the evening and in
special locations, you can try a sparkling makeup. Nothing seems to
say holidays than gold and silver. These are the perfect choices
for a glamorous look. Be daring and try a golden eye makeup and
wear it with confidence. This time, remember to keep the rest of
the makeup simple and natural.
