Glowy Holiday Party Makeup

Hey everyone! Today I have for you a glowy, soft and smokey holiday look. Perfect for a party or other formal occasion. Let's get started!

1) Foundation. Be sure to either use longlasting products or set with a powder so your makeup stays all night. (Stila Perfecting Concealer in 'C', gloMinerals Loose Base in Natural Light)

 

2) Start off the eyes with your best base, to create a tacky surface for the shadows. (MAC Painterly Paint Pot)

3) Apply a light, golden color all over the lid and into the crease. (Lancome Suntouched)

4) Apply a matte brown into the outer corner. Work into the crease and sweep some onto the lower lash line. Blend! (Lancome Lézard)

5) Using a pencil liner, line your upper lash line and inner rims for a smokey affect. (Wet N Wild pencil liner in Black)

6) Curl your lashes...

 7) And apply your best mascara! Use false lashes here if you desire; I don't own any. (Lancome Hypnose Drama)

8) For the cheeks, start off with a rosy blush, then apply shimmery highlighter to the tops of the apples. (Nars Dolce Vita, Physician's Formula Shimmer Strip in Sunset Strip)

9) Complete the look with a neutral lip! Follow this sequence for your  lipstick: apply, blot, apply, blot, apply. This will create a long-lasting "stain" on your lips. (L'Oreal Lipstick in Gilded Pink)

10) Done!

Enjoy your holiday parties, everyone! What do you think of the look?

Love, Val
