With the holidays just around the corner, it's time to create the most beautiful makeup looks! The beauty experts at MYSC offer tips for the most beautiful makeup looks for Christmas dinner, work Christmas drinks, and New Year's Eve!
Seductive smokey eyes
A classic eye makeup look: smoky eyes! Smokey eyes are characterized by their dark appearance. Using various shades of black and gray, you can create depth and an intense gaze. Our beauty expert explains how to create this look.
Step 1: Primer
When creating this eye look, start with a good primer on your eyes. For example, use Laura Mercier Eye Basics Eye Bright . This will ensure the eyeshadow stays put all evening.
Step 2: Eyeshadow
After applying the primer, you can start with your eyeshadow ! Use dark eyeshadow colors. We recommend using three different shades: a highlighter (this can also be the highlighter you use on your face!), a medium shade, and a dark shade.
Apply the lightest shade to the corners of your eyes and under your eyebrows. This creates a fresh look. Apply the medium shade to the mobile eyelid, extending to the brow bone. This is the line under your brow bone.
Apply the dark shade from the outer corner of your eye to the center of your brow bone. Use a fluffy brush and blend the shade well with the center shade. This will prevent streaks and harsh lines from appearing.
Step 3: Finishing Touch
Finish the look with eyeliner on the lower lash line and mascara. Want to make the smoky eyes even more festive? Apply a glitter eyeshadow to the mobile lid!
Natural, glowy makeup look
Prefer a natural, glowing makeup look this holiday season? Choose soft, neutral shades with a beautiful sheen. Our beauty experts explain how to create an effortless, glowing look.
Step 1: The even base
To create this look, start with a beautiful, even base. Use a subtle foundation, conceal any imperfections, and set with powder, for example , Laura Mercier Holiday - Translucent Loose Setting Powder & Puff Translucent .
Step 2: Apply color and shine to the face
To add a healthy glow and radiance to your face, we recommend using a beautiful bronzer , blush , and highlighter . Apply the bronzer in a three-dimensional pattern along your hairline, under your cheekbones, and on your jawline. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks. Apply the highlighter to the highest point of your cheekbones, under your brow bone, in the inner corner of your eye, on the tip of your nose, and on your cupid's bow.
Make sure you blend the bronzer, blush and highlighter evenly on your face to prevent blemishes and streaks.
Step 3: Subtle eye makeup
After the base, you can create a subtle eye look with natural shades. You can follow the steps for a smoky eye, but with subtle colors. Finish the look with a coat of mascara and a glossy lip gloss, and voilà, you're ready for Christmas dinner!
Red lipstick: the timeless classic
An all-time favorite : red lipstick! You can combine it in countless ways, and it turns any look into a festive look. Whether you're going for a natural, glowy look with a touch of red on the lips, or an edgy smoky eye with red lipstick, red lipstick makes it all possible!
Despite its simple appearance, the choices for red lipstick are endless. Will you go for a matte, bright red? Or will you choose a classic dark red with a subtle sheen?
This is how you ensure that your look lasts all evening
There's nothing better than coming home from a Christmas dinner or NYE party and seeing your makeup still looking perfect! These tips will help you ensure your makeup stays put all night long.
1. Start with a primer
We recommend using a primer under both foundation and eyeshadow. This will help the makeup stay put and prevent the product from settling into fine lines.
2. Powder the base
Foundation stays put best when you powder it thoroughly. This prevents the product from melting off your skin or leaving foundation stains everywhere.
3. Use lip liner
Are you going for a classic red lipstick or a nude lip color? Line your lips with a lip liner! This will ensure the lipstick stays put.
4. A setting spray as a finishing touch
Once you've applied the full look, use a setting spray as a finishing touch! This will ensure your makeup stays put all evening.
