Holiday makeup looks are difficult not because they are complex and time consuming, but because women try too hard. Searching for new makeup ideas, new techniques, new products, experimenting in front of the mirror – this oftentimes leads to unforgettable Christmas makeup disasters immortalized in family holiday photos. Exaggerated skin glow, uneven skin tone, smudged eyes and generally overdone makeup – has it ever happened to you? If yes, I have a great news for you: this minimalist makeup tutorial will help you create a stunning makeup look for the special occasion without changing your beauty routine. It means minimal risk, minimal effort, minimal expenses and maximum results.
Before we move on to the actual makeup ideas, beware: stunning holiday makeup starts weeks before Christmas. Special occasion looks are all about the right accents in the right places, which look best on healthy, glowing skin. Now is the best time to start working at your holiday makeup: get your facial done today and continue pampering your skin before and after the holidays to keep your skin a little more nourished, moisturized and cleansed than usual.
Now about the makeup. You may be surprised to hear that the best way to create a stunning holiday look is to stay within your comfort zone. Leave experiments for another day. By staying within your comfort zone you will ensure that you do not “overdo” your makeup and will not end up using many new products that may cause unexpected issues or skin reactions. All you need to do is add the right accent to your routine daily look. Choose one option for your eyes and one option for your lips from the list below, and you are ready for the holidays!
