3 Holiday Makeup Tips to Try This Season

From office parties to family gatherings, the holiday season is the busiest time of year for many people. When it comes to getting ready for these events, many people attempt to pull off a festive yet sophisticated style in terms of their wardrobe, hairstyle, and most importantly: makeup.

Holiday makeup can be tricky, especially when the dry winter air leaves your skin in a less-than-ideal state and you are often quite busy and short on time to get ready for so many festive events; but don’t panic! Executing the perfect holiday makeup look can be as simple as organising a cross-country move with Black Tie Moving by following a few simple steps.

Moisturise Your Skin

Before applying any makeup products to your face, be sure to apply a thick layer of a rich, hydrating moisturiser. The winter time leaves many people suffering from severely dry skin that can make foundation and concealer look cakey while emphasising any fine lines or wrinkles. Keep your skin looking glowing and youthful all season long by prioritising nourishing your skin with a rich moisturiser before the application of any makeup.

Highlight Inner Eyes

Look wide awake and extra festive by highlighting the inner corner of your eyes with a light, shimmery eyeshadow this Christmas. Whether you opt for a shimmering eyeshadow or a liquid glitter product, highlighting the inner corner of your eyes is the best way to brighten up your entire look. Additionally, avoid putting black eyeliner on your waterline this season and instead opt for a white or nude coloured pencil liner. This will also work to brighten up your eyes and make you look more awake, even when all of the holiday festivities have left you getting very little sleep.

Switch Up Your Bold Look

Many people consider a bright red lip to be a staple for Christmas time makeup. While this is a timeless, seasonal look that anyone can pull off for any holiday function, many people are opting to shake things up this year with other bold lip colours such as orange, deep wine, or even black. When wearing a bold lipstick, be sure to keep the rest of your face and eye makeup simple to keep your beautiful lip shade the focal point of your look – otherwise, don’t be afraid to stray away from a classic red and opt for another colourful bold lip instead.
