Hey guys! I wanted to hurry up and get this look posted. This look is for all of you last minute-rs who are not quite sure what to do with your makeup on Christmas. I came up with a look using colors that most everyone has, that is neutral but striking, and easy to get. I love the mix of warm browns and golds during the Holidays and during the colder months in general. I paired the warm eyes with a cherry red lips, because come on, it's Christmas! This look is guaranteed to be the talk of your Christmas dinner, so just keep reading to see how you can get this look for yourself!
How To: EYES
-Apply your favorite primer all over your lids and underneath the lower lash line.
-Highlight your brow bone with a matte cream shadow.
-On a fluffy brush, blend a light matte peach shadow into your upper crease to act as your blending shade. This whole look is about having a blown out, blended look by using different shades of warm brown.
-Take a matte light-medium warm brown shadow and blend it into your crease and lightly over your entire lid. Make sure to blend this shade into your previous shade.
-Take a slightly deeper warm matte brown shadow and blend it into your crease and the inner and outer corner of the lids.
-On a small blending brush, take a medium/deep warm brown shadow and repeat the previous step.
-Take a super deep matte brown shade and blend it right into your socket line and into the very outer portion of your inner and outer corner.
-Take a shimmery gold shadow and apply it right into the center of the lids, making sure to blur out the edges so it blends into the browns seamlessly.
-Take a light champagne/gold shadow and apply it to the very center of the gold to add more shine and dimension.
-On your lower lash line, take one of the medium browns and run it from inner to outer corner. You want to blend this shade down as low as you're comfortable with. Then take that darkest brown, and apply it right underneath the lashes.
-Highlight around the tear ducts with that light champagne shadow.
-Use liquid liner to create a cat eye on both lids. Then rim your eyes with a black liner to define them.
-Add lots of mascara to the top and bottom lashes to complete the eyes
*You don't have to use as many shades as me in this look. To cut down on time, you really only need 3 colors: a light/medium matte brown, a dark brown, and a gold shadow.
*This look also looks really great without the liquid liner!

How To: FACE
-Apply a brightening face primer all over your skin to give your face a glow.
-Use a foundation with no SPF, so that you don't get any flash back in your Christmas pictures. I used an HD cream foundation that is super high in coverage.
-Use a concealer that's 1-2 shades lighter than your skin to highlight your face and to use under your eyes.
-Set everything with a loose powder to take down shine and ensure that your foundation stays in place.
-Use a matte bronzer to contour and shape the face.
-Add a warm toned blush to the backs of your cheekbones, being sure to blend it into your contour.
-Apply a golden toned highlighter to any places you want to highlight. I used more highlighter than I normally do, because I wanted to have a super glowing look.
-For the last touch, line your lips with a red lip liner then apply a bright red lipstick.
