We associate the holidays with several colors. These are primarily red, gold, and green. While a green smokey eye looks interesting, today we'll show you a makeup look with shimmering eyelids and red lips. This holiday makeup look is all about even skin tone, contouring with bronzer, and plenty of highlighting.

1.Skin preparation

This is one of the most important steps in the makeup routine. Foundation simply looks better on moisturized skin. To nourish your skin, add a drop of Stay Essential oil to your moisturizing Soft Cream . This blend absorbs quickly and smooths the skin.

2. Foundation, bronzer and highlighter

When it comes to holiday makeup, focus on evening out your complexion, concealing imperfections and dark circles under your eyes. Foundation doesn't have to be heavy and full-coverage. The lighter the foundation, the more effortless it is. Use a highlighting foundation and set it with a mineral highlighting powder , which will beautifully smooth the skin. Apply both products wet with a sponge so they blend perfectly with the skin. Don't use a primer under your foundation, as your base was a cream mixed with oil.

For contouring, reach for the mattifying foundation in the shade Golden Medium and apply it generously. Why? Dim lighting makes makeup less visible, so feel free to apply a little more bronzer than you normally would.

For this look, you can skip the blush. Instead, reach for the Diamond Glow highlighter in a beige shade and apply it to the high points of your face: the tops of your cheekbones and the inner corner of your eyes, and a little less to the center of your face, nose, chin, and Cupid's bow, i.e., above your lips.

3. Eye makeup, elegant brown and shine

The eye makeup is a combination of brown and gold. Use browns from the Brow Like Wow eyebrow shadow palette to shape the eyes to make them appear larger. To add an elegant sheen, apply the Royal Glow mineral highlighter to the eyelid. The intensity of the gold highlighter depends on the method of application. For a more intense effect, apply it wet. To do this, spray the brush with a moisturizing mist or hydrolate. This method gives the cosmetic a more vibrant color and shine.

Don't forget to carefully define your eyebrows. You can also use false eyelashes, although this is optional. But during the holiday season, allow yourself to be more adventurous with your makeup. False eyelashes accentuate your eyes. Choose a model that looks natural, and you'll see that a full lash fan will boost your confidence. Holidays and carnival are the perfect time to be more creative with your makeup.

4. Lips: lipstick or lip gloss?

Red lips are perfect for the holiday season. Just remember to outline them with lip liner to give them a more symmetrical shape.

Our Christmas makeup look is quite bold. If you prefer a more subtle look, you can accentuate your lips with a neutral lip gloss.
