There are special occasions in life that become a little more fun with colorful makeup - especially if you take the step outside your comfort zone! We list our favorite products and give tips on how to apply festive makeup for a holiday or an event.
PREPARE THE SKIN
Get ready with exfoliation, moisture and shine the night before! Triple Microdermabrasion multi-exfoliates with AHA acid, papaya enzyme and microcrystals to give way to a smoother skin texture. Hyaluronic Halo Hydrating Mask from MAKETHEMAKE gives the skin a deep and intense hydration and an immediate boost of radiance!
A BASS WITH GLOW
Start with a luminescent primer for maximum glow! Pure Canvas Primer Illuminating contains micronized beads that reflect light. Continue with Cica Buildable Base Foundation which blends into the skin and provides light to full coverage. Finish with Hyaluronic Hydra concealer to brighten the center of the face - under the eyes, around the nose, chin and center of the forehead.
The second part of the base is to add dimension and color! We recommend Ambient Edit Mini - Sculpture Unlocked where you apply a finishing powder all over the face for a seamless finish, add natural color to the cheeks with a blush, add even more glow with a highlighter on the high points of the face and add depth and dimension through to add bronzer along the hairline and under the cheekbones and jawbones. For a little extra color on the cheeks, you can supplement with the Glow Time Blush Stick.
A GLITTERING EYE MAKEUP
Prime with Sateen Eye Color in a light neutral shade. Then create a 3D effect by applying the lightest shimmer shade of The Necessary Eyeshadow Palette in the inner corner of the eye and the dark one in the outer corner. Then apply Scattered Light Glitter Eyeshadow (any shade but preferably Blaze) right in the middle of the eyelid for an extra glittery eye make-up! For a dramatic effect, you can add a bit of Eye Shadow in the shade Cold Brown along the outer edge of the lash line and top with an eyeliner wing with Black Carbon Eyeliner.
For the lashes, we recommend Unlocked and Caution Mascara Duo where you first apply Caution Extreme Lash Mascara to build volume and finish with Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara to add length. And as a final touch, you can use the Brow Duo to define the brows!
BOLD LIPS
Tie the look together with your favorite color on the lips - why not dare to go red? Preferably start with Lip Liner, a lip pencil that ensures that lipstick and gloss do not flow. Then apply Joli Rouge Velvet in the shade Deep Red and finish with Hyaluronic Lip Oil for a glossy result.
