Makeup Ideas for Christmas

On the eve of the festive events, every woman tries to look her best. And when it comes to holidays like New Years and Christmas, special makeup is a must. After all, you really want to surprise and impress your friends, colleagues and, of course, your soul mate. And do not forget about yourself - the original make-up will surely cheer you up. It must be non-trivial, eye-catching and simply enchanting.

Let's look at what makeup ideas for Christmas are offered to the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity by modern stylists.

For a festive makeup base, it is better to use a foundation with a dense texture. So you will be sure that in the midst of the holiday the make-up will not "float", and it will not let you down under the spotlights. As for festive lip make-up, both matte lipstick shades and glossy bright colors of lip gloss are acceptable here. It is better to keep them cold (for example, pink, purple) and at the same time combine with eyeshadow.

A classic of both everyday and any festive makeup - smoky ice and shining eyeliner, creating a mysterious attractive "cat look". As for the mascara - it can be of any, even the most fancy colors.

Now let's list what cosmetics you will probably need when creating a Christmas fantasy on your face:

• serum-activator of radiance of the skin;
• special modeling powder;
• a shimmering highlighter blush that illuminates the skin and creates a natural glow;
• powdery eyeshadow in different shades and with different finishes;
• lipstick with glitter, shimmer and shimmery gold particles;
• moisturizing lip balm;
• liquid eyeliner, preferably with different shades of glitter;
• any color mascara to match your Christmas outfit or lipstick.

And, of course, you can't do without glitter nail polish as a finishing touch - the more unusual, the better.

The undoubted advantage of easy make-up options is that they will not take much time, and the result will delight both you and those around you. If you want to look more or less modest (for example, at a corporate party or in the office), you can use classics - for example, golden eye makeup, which looks equally good on both blondes and brunettes. Stick to the golden-beige or silver-blue color scheme, as it is relevant during the winter holidays.

One of the simplest options would be a monochrome makeup technique, when the eyeshadow and lipstick are presented in the same shade - for example, silver or purple.

But for lovers of unusual Christmas ideas, you can recommend using bright purple or turquoise shades. With them it is so easy to create a magical image of a snow queen or a fairy-tale princess.

You can also note the widespread use of sequins, and they are present not only on the eyelid, but can also be used in arrows. As for the eyelashes, you simply cannot do without voluminous options. And whether they will be classic black, silvery, like frost, or defiantly green to match the Christmas tree - it's up to you to decide.

You can consider the option of a bright garland on your eyelids. Use a liquid liner to customize your eyeliner. If you draw multi-colored dots on top of the strip, you get an excellent imitation of garland bulbs. And to make the make-up look more realistic and it seemed as if the bulbs were glowing, apply a white dot in the center of the circle, shading it.

When choosing a Christmas makeup, remember an important rule - it must fully match both the festive outfit and your styling. And then the magical Christmas night will be unforgettable and only with positive emotions. Of course, no experimentation is prohibited - glitter, false eyelashes and bright colors against the backdrop of the Christmas tree are welcome.

• Any attribute of Christmas can be a source of inspiration for a professional makeup artist - for example, a Christmas tree garland.

• With glittering eyeshadows and crisp winter tones, it's easy to create the magical look of the snow queen or enigmatic fairy. Just like Lady Gaga.

• Lovers of unusual Christmas ideas can be recommended to use bright, mysterious and intriguing purple shades.

• And here is a version from the famous supermodel Karlie Kloss. Moreover, instead of shadows, a golden glitter was used and, of course, an irreplaceable and universal black eyeliner.

• If you want to play with the makeup a little, you can draw not the usual arrows, but a red and white version in the colors of traditional Christmas candy canes.
