10 FESTIVE CHRISTMAS MAKEUP LOOKS

'Tis the season to stress, but by stocking up on these simple skin, hair, and makeup tips, you'll look party-pretty in no time. Try any or all of these 10 ideas to look more dazzling, instantly.

Festive Tip 1: Shimmer

There is a reason we all love tinsels on Christmas trees and strings around our homes. Tinsels make everything look more beautiful, same is true for our high-lighting makeups. To get your own shimmer, sweep a glittering powder over your cheekbones below your brow bones and on the inner corner of your eyes. If your skin is light, reach for a pink-based lightener while medium to dark skinned women should try golden tones.

Festival Tip 2: Brows

Brows do so much to frame your face that simply grooming them ( combing the hairs, filling your bare spots) will give you a different look. Equip yourself with a simple handy grooming kits such as mini tweezrs, stencils, a mirror, brow pencil, brush, brow powder and wax for a complete touch-up.

Festive Tip 3: Curly girl tips

Festive Tip 4: Eyeliner

Black eyeliner swept across the top lid makes a bold yet elegant statement that needs very little else, think Angelina Jolie, who's hardly photographed without her signature eye look.

The trick is to swap your pencil for a liquid or gel liner, close the eye with arms balanced on a table, starting at the inner corner, move the line outward and wing it slightly at the end. If your hands still feel shaky, create little dashes along the lash line and go back & connect them. Stick to a neutral tone such as Mac Eye Shadow in Bisque a muted pink-beige shade on the rest of the lid.

Festive Tip 5: Lipsticks

Chocolate is the yummiest treat of the season but also a sweet alternative to red lippie. skip the matte browns for those mauve or reddish undertones.

Festive Tip 6: Blush

When it comes to getting holiday pretty, blush is non-negotiable. Amp up your natural rosiness by mixing complementary blush colors one darker and one lighter or start off with the paler shade in compact and tweak it (lol) by layering its darker counterpart over it.

Festive Tip 7: Short Hair

Short hair can be styled just as glamourously as long hair, but in half time! Most boyish haircuts now have feminine features such as softer pieces around the face says Teeluck. Bring attention to your short hair by working a styling product through your hair with your fingers.

Festive Tip 8: Eye Shadow

What happens when you take basic gray shadows and infuse it with flecks of gold, purple & green? A whole new way to make up your eyes, that's what! A color that's this multi textured will work harder for you to. The trick is to contain it between the lid and the crease, don't take it up your brow bone-that's very 1980s' 👎 if you go overboard, soften the color with a makeup sponge.

Festive Tip 9: Lip Gloss

Shiny lips are always prety, but when the shades are pale(think peach, pink & coral) and flecked shimmer, they merit a top spot in your makeup case. Pair this lip with our take on smoky eye and you'll wish that the holidays stuck around a bit longer. 😄

Festive Tip 10: Burgundy Nails

They are definitely not low maintenance,but burgundy colored nails are your holiday must-have for instant drama. Richer than red & more wearable than the black nail polish that has been showing up on every celebrities fingertips lately, burgundy has a modern feel that will never go out of style.

I hope these tips helps you have a Merry Christmas like no other
