The sophisticate
Become a golden goddess. An allover soft golden glow is perfect for the holiday season. Gold evokes a warm and festive mood, but also gives off a sexy sparkle that is truly glamorous. Think bronzes, peaches and apricot shades for this holiday beauty look.
How to get the look:
Play up the eyes. With a soft brown pencil, go along the lash line and blend with a brush or q-tip. On the eyelids use a bronze shadow. Finish by applying a bit of light golden shimmer shadow in the corners of the eyes, this will open and brighten the entire face. For extra drama and sophistication add false eyelashes.
Leave the cheeks and lips radiant with a hint of natural shimmer by using sheer colours in the same colour family. For example use a sheer red lip colour, like soft brick, which will add a healthy colour and balance out the face. Finish with a bronzer or a warm peachy blush on the apples of the cheeks to get a nice sun kissed glow.
The classic
Give yourself a standout pout. One of the hottest holiday beauty looks this season is a strong mouth, seen on the runways at Gucci and Valentino and on starlets like Scarlett Johansson and Kiera Knightly.
How to get the look:
When creating this look, the key is to keep the face natural and simple. Sweep the eyes with a plum or aubergine shadow, to create a monochromatic feel, dusting the cheeks in a similar tone.
Making your perfect pout last is often the challenge. Apply liner in the same colour as the lipstick and blend the entire lip. This helps create a layer of colour across the lips, allowing for longer wear. Next blot the lips with a light powder, which will help make your lipstick last. Now you can apply the lip colour on top with a lip brush and blend.
The perfect lip hue is a rich Bordeaux, but other sexy colours for the holidays include brick red or a dark berry gloss for a hint of shimmer.
