With office parties and New Year’s Eve celebrations on the horizon, ’tis the season to rock a glittery, glamorous look. This year, we’re all about a pop of gold eyeshadow to give you that extra sparkle in your eye. Here’s how we created our Holiday Glam look. As for the rest of your makeup, keep it simple. Opt for a pinkish-nude lip color, and go easy on the highlight to really draw attention to your dazzling eyes.
Step 1: Prep for Success
The holiday glam look is bold, refined and attention-grabbing. With glitter, though, there’s often a fine line between looking glamorous and looking like you’re playing dress-up. Using primer helps to ensure that your finished look is precise, refined and eye-catching. Primer gives your makeup more staying power, prevents your eyeshadow from creasing and makes the colors appear bolder and more pigmented.
Step 2: Accentuate the Crease
Using a dome-shaped blending/crease brush, apply the brownish-tan color from this palette to the crease of your eyelid. You could also use a matte bronzer in place of the eyeshadow. The key here is to blend, blend, blend. You want to give your final look some depth, and this color will serve as a sort of shadow behind the glitter and glam. Read more
