For this post, I invited one of the make-up artists I have worked with (and who does a fabulous job!) to write about some tips for holiday make-up to help look your best!

With the year coming to an end and the holidays approaching, my makeup application has turned from pretty, soft, natural wedding looks to glittery fun drama for holiday parties, events and New Year’s Eve. My favorite holiday-inspired look is super fun and easy to recreate yourself.
Always begin with a clean face, lightly moisturized and prepped with a good primer. After completing your foundation, let’s work on the eyes! After priming, put down a base of your favorite shimmery cream shadow. Top your lid with a glittery gold shimmer shadow. For some added drama, add a dark brown eye shadow to your crease and corner. For a nice highlight, brush your lightest shade on the inner corner of the eye and sweep just below the brow bone. Finish the look with black liner on the top and bottom of your eye and two good coats of your favorite black mascara. For added drama, glue on your favorite pair of false lashes.
Now that your eyes are popping, you want your lips to compliment and finish the look. My favorite color to pair with a shimmery gold look is a pretty deep red pout, perfect for the holidays! Make sure you find the color that suites your skin, either a warm- or cool-toned red. For a long-lasting finish, reach for a liquid matte lipstick that will last for your evening out.
Finish your face with your favorite finishing spray, grab your clutch and head out to have some fun at your next holiday event. Interested in learning how to achieve this look in person?
