The Products You’ll Need
The products you’ll need for this makeup look are:
- A foundation that matches your skin tone
- A concealer to brighten under your eyes and around your nose
- A powder to set your foundation
- A bronzer to add dimension to your face
- A highlighter to create a radiant glow
- A blush to add color to your cheeks
- A eyeshadow palette with a variety of colors, including shimmery shades and glitter
- An eyeliner pencil
- A mascara
- A lipstick in a festive color
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
The first step to any good makeup look is to prep your skin. This means cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Once your skin is prepped, apply a primer to help your makeup stay put all day long.
Step 2: Apply Foundation and Concealer
Apply foundation to your entire face, using a foundation brush or sponge. Be sure to blend well to create a flawless finish. Then, apply concealer under your eyes and around your nose to brighten those areas.
Step 3: Set Your Foundation
Once your foundation and concealer are applied, set them with a powder. This will help to keep your makeup from getting oily or cakey.
Step 4: Bronze and Highlight
Use a bronzer to add dimension to your face. Apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, along your temples, and down the bridge of your nose. Then, use a highlighter to create a radiant glow. Apply it to the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and the cupid’s bow of your lips.
Step 5: Blush
Add color to your cheeks with a blush. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend well.
Step 6: Apply Eyeshadow
The most important part of this makeup look is the eyeshadow. Start by applying a light, shimmery shade all over your eyelid. Then, add a darker, more dramatic shade to the outer corners of your eyes. You can also add a touch of glitter to the inner corners of your eyes for a festive touch.
Step 7: Apply Eyeliner and Mascara
Use an eyeliner pencil to line your eyes. You can either do a classic cat eye or a more subtle line. Then, apply mascara to your lashes to make them look fuller and longer.
Step 8: Apply Lipstick
Finish off your makeup look with a festive lipstick color. You can go for a bold red, a classic pink, or a shimmery metallic shade.
Conclusion
