The end of year celebrations are approaching and so is the time for preparations. Christmas, New Year’s Eve, these moments are often the occasion to dress up and to realize an innovative make-up combining modernity and originality. Wondering how to apply makeup for the holidays? Here are some ideas and tips for a successful makeup!
GLITTER AND RHINESTONES TO SHINE
For Christmas or New Year’s Eve, anything goes! It’s time to dare to be original and use rhinestones. You can opt for colored and glittery eyeshadows that are very trendy right now. The fashion is even currently in the glitter lipstick. However, to avoid looking like a disco ball, remember to restrict yourself to one area of your face. Either the mouth or the eyes for example. Otherwise, the effects you want to give to your make-up will blend with the rest and will not give the expected result.
SMOKY EYES: A TIMELESS MAKEUP LOOK
The smoky eye intensifies your look, whatever your eye color. To achieve it, choose several shades that will look like a gradient. With the darkest shade (often black), draw the outer contours of your make-up towards the outside of the upper eyelid. The intermediate shade(s) will allow you to build a gradient by gradually reaching the inner corner of your eye. Enhance the look with a black or colored mascara for an assured fatal look. On the other hand, as far as your mouth makeup is concerned, opt for a nude lipstick, so as not to overdo it.
PERFECT EYEBROWS FOR A SUBLIMATED MAKE-UP
First and foremost, plan to have your eyebrows plucked before the holidays to ensure that your eyebrows are perfectly shaped and trimmed. Indeed, a well-groomed makeup look could be spoiled by poorly plucked or unplucked eyebrows.
The eyebrows frame and enhance the eyes. It is therefore imperative that they are well designed if you want to enhance your eyes. A visit to one of our workshops, a few days before New Year’s Eve, will allow you to achieve the ideal eyebrow treatment. From simple plucking to coloring your eyebrows, we help you enhance your look for a successful holiday makeup!
THE CLASSIC EYELINER AND INTENSE RED MOUTH
If you want to be elegant without overdoing it, go for a classic and modern look. The best way to do this is with a black eyeliner that you can thicken slightly to fit the shape of your eyes. Add some black mascara and to enhance the look, opt for an intense red lipstick for a simply stunning lady look.
TWO-TONE EYE MAKEUP
Mixing colors is fashionable. However, do not mix more than 2-3 colors maximum. The ideal for a successful two-tone makeup is to choose a shade for the upper eyeliner line and another color for the lower lash line using a makeup pen or eyeliner. Also be careful to choose the right colors for your skin tone and iris color.
GRAPHIC EYELINER FOR AN ORIGINAL STYLE
Dare to be original by opting for graphic eyeliner. Wear colors and graphics that are 100% artistic. Very trendy at the moment, this type of make-up will not go unnoticed. However, it is difficult to achieve this kind of make-up by yourself, to avoid committing a fashion faux pas, it is better to go to a beautician or a professional make-up artist who will do your make-up for the big day.
HOLOGRAPHIC EFFECTS FOR A MODERN AND INNOVATIVE MAKEUP
Holographic makeup has the particularity of changing color with the differences in light. It is therefore an ideal evening make-up for a trendy and fashionable look. Enhance your look with a unique play of light that will bring out your best features.
THE REVERSE CAT EYE FOR A STUNNING LOOK
This original technique reverses the traditional codes of make-up to sublimate your eyes. Indeed, the reverse cat eye highlights the lower part of your eye with a thicker line of your eyeliner on the lower lash line. This is intended to lengthen your eyes and enhance them for a femme fatale look. However, it is not suitable for all eye shapes, so try it out or ask a professional for advice before choosing this makeup for your New Year’s Eve.
