Festive Glam: Full Routine
Holiday party makeup szn has entered the chat and you’re invited to get glam. There’s no better time to double down on your beauty routine than the holidays. From work parties to New Year’s Eve and everything in between, finding your glam routine go-to is way easier than you think. Whether you want to debut a new shimmery shadow or rock a killer red lip, this is your time to shine (literally!). We’re unpacking the hottest glam looks that are easy to pull off so all you have to worry about is your holiday wardrobe. Consider this your official permission to get festive.
Gleaming Skin
What does holiday-party-worthy skin bliss look like? Shimmery and glowing, of course. There’s just something special and beautiful about a gleaming complexion that perfectly catches the light. To get the look, start by reaching for this glow booster. It gives skin a subtle radiance and light coverage so your natural tone can shine through. You can also mix this with foundation for the same glowing effect but with more coverage. For a glass-like skin effect, swap out your go-to mattifying powder for this highlighter. Brush it across the forehead and cheeks for a pretty, luminous glow.
Polished Brows
Repeat after us: never underestimate a statement brow for the holidays. Polished brows frame your face in the best way and make for the perfect finishing touch to your holiday party makeup. If your brows are sparse or need shaping, start with a waterproof brow pencil and use short feathery strokes to mimic natural hairs. Finish strong with a brow gel mascara. This step is essential for keeping brows in place and polished to perfection.
Luminous Lids
Consider your eyes a main attraction for your holiday party makeup glam. It may seem obvious but people shy away from serving major eye looks because of the commitment and difficulty factor. Guess what? It doesn’t have to be that complicated and no, you don’t need to be a makeup artist to get it right. May we suggest this holiday party eye makeup hack: jewel tones are your friend. Swipe on a luminous eye shadow for a longwearing look that stays up as late as you do. If you want to take your sparkle to the next level, try a multichrome glitter topper. It will catch the light in the most amazing way and make any occasion celebration-worthy!
Loud Lashes
There’s no time like the holidays to level up your lash game. Instead of going the faux route (who has the time and budget?!), go with the next best thing: this falsie-worthy mascara. Amplify your lash volume and length in just a few swipes and its elastomer brush picks up every last lash. Don’t forget your bottom lashes–the look you’re going for is dramatic!
A Royal Flush
What if we said you could slay your holiday blush game with the help of just one product? Spoiler alert–you can with this highly pigmented liquid blush. This formula couldn’t be easier to apply and it makes your cheeks stand out with very little effort (yes, please!). Simply dot it onto your cheeks and blend using a blush brush, sponge or your fingers.
Ruby Lips
A neutral pout is great for everyday but during the holidays, a statement lip never misses. The boldest lip move for the season is a red lip, hands down. To find your perfect red, look to your skin tone. Is it on the warm, neutral or cool side? Blue-based reds look great on cool skin tones while orangey-reds flatter warm tones most. Neutrals can go either way.
