The holiday season is arriving. I mean don’t you feel the chill in the air, the echoes of carols, and the sea of red, white, and green? Need we add the lovely sounds of Mariah Carey singing and Frank Sinatra serenading? But using just five products to achieve a beautiful, glowing look for the holiday season is probably the best part of Christmas.
While I can’t speak for everyone else, I am certain of the stocking stuffers that I will cross off my Christmas wishlist this year. Here are 5 makeup must-haves you need to cross off your holiday glamm list; from rosy winter cheeks to dessert-proof lipsticks, we’ve got you covered! Go ahead and reward yourself (because you deserve it!) or someone else, because you’re the best giver of gifts ever.
But First, Prep Your Skin!
Before we get to the good stuff, make sure your skin is prepared after skin care. Work a few drops of the skin tint in with your fingers after adding it. Apply a quality sunscreen next (again, using your fingers), and once you’ve blended it in, press it in with a damp beauty sponge to seal it in completely. Now move on to the next!
Your Trusty Eyeshadow Palette!
Yes, it is true. Even though there are many other beautiful nude eyeshadow palettes out there, this one is still my absolute favourite. I just can’t get over how wonderful this little guy is. It blends oh-so-smoothly, contains the prettiest shimmers, making it ideal for celebrations on Christmas Eve, and also has soft pinks and creams for cosy brunches. Moreover, this palette’s undertone is incredibly adaptable, making it an ideal present for your mother, sister, or best friend.
Glow Game ON!
Is a Christmas beauty look ever complete without a highlighter? We assure you that this highlighter palette will not let you down. While the rose gold hues flatter all skin tones, we especially love how breathtaking they look on warm, Indian skin tones—delivering an alluring, lit-from-within glow that can be seen from the spacecraft! It has the most intense, buttery formula that glides over your skin seamlessly and is customisable to amp up any and every makeup look you’re in the mood for.
Nude Affair
The mother of all nudes, in fact, is this legendary classic lipstick. Every skin tone is enhanced by the nude-pink tint, which can last for up to 10 hours. For a natural look, softly dab it on your lips; for mistletoe-ready lips, build it up. And the 3D illuminating pigments make the lips appear plumper.
Rosy Cheeks
You’ll have the most beautiful cherry-hued tint thanks to this lip and cheek stain. Simply apply it with your fingertips to your lips and cheeks’ apples for rosy, flushed cheeks and cherry-kissed lips. P.S. If you haven’t already, try applying some to the tip of your nose as well; it looks adorably cute. How ideal a Christmas stocking stuffer would this tiny tint be as well?
Eye Spy Glamm!
Meet the mascara that belongs in your party makeup bag indefinitely. The colour payoff is really spectacular, which accounts for the plethora of positive ratings. Before it sells out, grab this gorgeous baby!
It’s time to turn on the glow this season!
