Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is finally upon us, fa la la la la, la la, la la! It’s time for Christmas makeup! Yassss.
With so many holiday parties and gatherings to attend, it gets pretty darn boring doing the same makeup look for every event. The last thing you want is to mindlessly paint on your makeup with no joy in the process. Makeup should be fun, and that’s just sad.
I wanted to create something different, but not so wild that I’d feel self conscious wearing it. Whether you’re are heading to a work party in a professional-type setting, or a dinner with family and friends, I wanted the look to embody the festiveness that we’ve come to imagine from Christmas makeup. But without looking like a glitter ball of red and green tackiness.
Trust me, this girl loves her bedazzled eyes, but there is a time and place for all the glitter. This look uses olive greens and gold on the eye and an orangy red on the lips to achieve a “Christmas colors” look without looking like you borrowed your makeup from Mrs. Clause.
If you’d like to have a closer look at my eye makeup, and read all about the products I used to create this look, then read on!
