Stumped on how to dress your face for the Holidays? Try our timeless look for the whole face, or go more bold and try out an eye look that's hot for the season in Purple or Green. Keep reading for step-by-step instructions…
Our all-over-face look is classy and timeless for any Holiday party. After evening out your skin tone (here we used
Ulta Mineral Liquid Foundation in Light 01), brush a warm glow of color on your cheeks in a sparkly tangerine. Try
Trendy by
Fusion of Color. Lips go bronze with
Clinique Different Lipstick in
Think Bronze. For day just brush on some mascara and you're ready to go; for a nighttime look add more drama with a sparkly taupe eyeshadow all over the lid (try Fusion of Color eyeshadow in
In Vogue), and a dark brown sparkle shadow on the outside edges and up the crease (we used the dark brown sparkly shadow in the limited-edition eyeshadow palette by
Sonia Kashuk for Target). Line the upper and lower lids with dark brown smudged eyeliner (
Avon Smooth Minerals Eye Liner in
Earth is perfect for this) and finish with a great brown or black mascara (I love
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black
).
Try out one of the hottest makeup trends this year with a purple or green eye. Look for tones that will compliment your skin, or try these finds that we think look great on a variety of skin tones and eye colors.
For the purple eye start off with
Ulta Loose Mineral Eyeshadow in Wisteria, across the lid from lashes to slightly above the crease. Gently blend in a darker color, we like
Maples and Mums by
Everyday Minerals, and work from the outside edge of the eye along the crease. Line the lower lid with a sparkly purple liner; we used Ulta's eyeliner in Raisin. Liquid eyeliner (we used
Revlon ColorStay in
Black Brown) looks sleek and polished and isn't as hard as it looks, just don't have six coffees before trying to apply. If you like the cat eye, which is very in this year, carefully sweep the applicator up and away from the eye at the end. Finish with your favorite mascara.
Make everyone else green with envy when you show up with these sexy eyes. Brush a sparkly green shadow from lashes to crease (shown is
Too Cool by
Fusion of Color) on the upper lid, and also smudge a bit of green eyeshadow right under your lower lashes. Add a shimmering gold shadow from the crease to the brow (here with
Physician's Formula in
Gold) and highlight the brow bone with a sparkling white powder (we used the Sonia Kashuk limited edition palette sparkly white). Line the lower lid with a creamy black pencil (try
Avon's Smooth Mineral Eye Liner in
Onyx) and smudge with your ring finger. Line the upper lid with black liquid eyeliner (try
Maybelline Ultra Liner in
Black) and finish with your favorite mascara.
With all strong eye looks, it's recommended you keep your lips neutral. Clear gloss looks sexy with a strong eye, and you won't have to worry about getting lipstick on your holiday drinks!
