The holidays are the one time you can never overdo your makeup. Shimmer on your skirt paired with shimmer in your makeup is welcomed, even expected in December. Here are our favorite festive face looks for the upcoming yuletide and New Year’s Eve.
Silver Bells
Play up the eye by applying a bit of shimmery metallic eye shadow just to the inner corners of the eyes.
The Eyes Have It
Or, play up the outer corners of the eyes by doing a super smoky shadow that heads outwards. Leave the rest of the face clean and free to draw attention to just the dark, sultry eyes.
Stain It
Lips look delicious is a deep, dark, bloody or cranberry stain. Apply a bit of gloss over the top or leave them pouty and pretty.
Old School Glamour
Try out some false lashes with thick, dark liquid liner this holiday season. Again, there’s no other time when over-the-top is completely on trend.
Bright and Cheerful
Holiday parties often include dark red or black dresses but, on the face, a bright wash of lipstick or a happy cheek brings a fresh perspective on the season.
Bronze On
Want to be a bit different this holiday season? Go for summer bronzed glam and holiday-it-up with a dark red lipstick.
You can’t make a mistake. This December, festive and fun is the name of the makeup game.
