Sweet, But Twisted

It’s not Christmas without a little makeup. An ideal fit for girls whose love for the Christmas Spirit borders on unhealthy. But, hey, at least you’re in theme. This sweet but twisted, eye-focused look is for all the resting Grinch faces.

Let It, Snow

This look has all the oomph you need for your ensemble. A seeming sobber but statement steel eye with some heavy-duty mascara and a pigmented pink dials up the drama.

All That Glitters

Is glitter naughty or nice? Take the unconventional route by highlighting the outer corners of your eyes with silver tape and cheekbones with some silver glitter in the festive spirit. Add a touch of green with stick-on jewels if that’s up your alley, and complement this look with a touch of sheer gloss.

Mistle-totally Rad

This red lip highlights the joy of the season and everything your Christmas makeup should be -everything nourishing and plump. It lays the right amount of emphasis on the festive season while ensuring your lifted face (with the right concealer technique) looks stylish. A favoured plump red lip colour is M.A.C. Cosmetic’s Ruby New for a powder-like finish.

Wine-derful

For a fresh take on a cut-crease look, try out a blend of red and maroon eyeshadow and a tactfully placed under-eye coal. Pairing this look with a minimal highlighter and a glossed overlined lip is a great go-to for Christmas balls and events galore.

You Snow The Drill

This graphic liner and bold lip combo are ideal for a festive night with your girls. You can also replace the white graphic liner with a red smudged eye pencil. If you can’t find the perfect eyeliner, opt for a sharp lip pencil instead, and make sure to douse it in setting spray before you look like you went on a date with Santa that went south.

Soul Santa

As seen on Simone Rocha’s models this season, a little bit of glittery eyeshadow goes a long way. Smudges of white/holographic sparkly eyeshadow on the corners of your eyes (till the middle of your lid) paired with a pale lip and played-down mascara makes this look perfect for Christmas date night with your boo.

Pass Me The Crimson

A statement eye looks, this bold approach can be achieved using a few shades of red (lighter at the corners, darker towards the edges, and lighter at the top) to add dimension. One swipe of colour won’t do it justice. Red lipstick and some gloss (Sephora’s Lip Plumper is a fave) are a must to give your eyes the attention they deserve.

Scarlet Fever

The perfect blend of black and red, this look gives your eyes a significant pop, making it Christmas-ready. A sharp wing with a highly pigmented red under-eye look goes well with blushed-out cheeks. If you’re opting for an outfit that shows off your collarbones, slap on some highlighter to add to the look.
