Fabulous and Festive: Christmas Party Make-Up
At chiconomise HQ, one of the many things we look forward to during the festive season, besides a few much-needed days off, is the opportunity to glam it up at a Christmas party. Because the rest of the time, we are more concerned about being warm rather than looking hot. So in the spirit of giving (and saving), here are our top Christmas party make-up essentials that’ll make you look as fierce as the weather.
Christmas Party Make-Up: The Eyes
It’s all about sparkle for Christmas beauty. The easiest way to wear it is with the right eyeshadow. Go for the stay-put pretty power of cream eyeshadows and liners. They are perfect for when rain or snow threatens your festive face. We love e.l.f.’s Studio Cream Eyeliners, £3.50 each, which can be used as eyeshadow, too. Pair Metallic Olive with Copper or Gunmetal with Purple. Remember beautiful Christmas make-up means blend, blend, blend.
Next, smooth on the silver eyeliner. Avon’s Luxe Lace SuperShock Gel Eyeliner Pen in Silver, £6, really opens up the eyes when placed along the inner corners and is the epitome of won’t-budge beauty. The pen is available on October 28th from a representative or online and comes in Black, too. To finish off this party-perfect eye, go long with your fave mascara or read this post for our top two choices.
Christmas Party Make-Up: The Lips
The two-in-one wonder for a tenner, Avon’s Pro Colour & Gloss Lip Duo gives you both a lipstick and lipgloss, along with more space in your clutch bag. Depending on what shades you pick for the eyes, go light on the lips with Perfect Nude or Blossom. Or if you want a darker shade, apply the less-intense lipgloss instead. After all, Christmas make-up is meant to be gorgeous, not garish.
Christmas Party Make-Up: The Cheeks
For the cheeks, we think a blush duo will give you more choice and you can blend them to make the shade you crave. Stila’s Blusher Duo, £6.50 (RRP: £18), gives you a bit of pink with a bit of peach, along with quite a bit of savings.
Now, you’ve got the perfect Christmas party make-up and some money leftover for a dress!
