Favorite Holiday Makeup
Hey guys! It's that time of year: Christmas and New Years! So you know what that means: Holiday Parties! Here are my favorite holiday makeup items!
1. ColourPop Metallic Shadows, $5 each
I have mentioned before how much I love ColourPop shadows, and the metallic and ultra-metallic ones are perfect for the holidays. They are affordable and super pigmented. They add that perfect sparkle to your eyes!
2. Single Eyeshadows
I don't use single eyeshadows very often, but I have a few that are perfect for the holidays. That gorgeous emerald shade is from the Sephora Pantone Universe collection a few years back when emerald was the color of the year. This shadow is creamy, yet it's still kind of a powder. I love it and the color is perfect! The white shade is the ever so popular Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Thunderstruck. This is the perfect highlight shade. It is so hard to see how truly beautiful it is until you swatch it in person. The two bronze shades are the Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in Bad to the Bronze, and the Be a Bombshell Eye base in Submissive. These are perfect for a base to a metallic eyeshadow.
3. Eyeliners
So first, the ColourPop eye liners are perfect. They are $5 each and come in so many shades. The metallics are perfect for the waterline. I also love the LA Girl Glide on Gel Liners. My favorite is in the shade Champagne. My current favorite liquid eyeliner is the NYX Matte Liquid Liner. It isn't too watery, so it is super easy to apply. Finally, the Tarte Eyeliners are super long lasting and absolutely gorgeous.
4. Lips
The lip color you choose definitely depends on your eye look. My favorite nude lipstick to go with a smokey look is Jeffree Star's I'm Nude. For Lip glosses, The Balm's Read My Lips in Wow! is the perfect red gloss, and Anastasia Beverly Hill's Lip gloss in Gilded is the perfect shimmer to go over a nude lip. The ColourPop Lippie Stix are affordable and come in so many shades. A few of my favorite shades for the holidays are Frenchie, Dazed, and Lumiere. Finally, the Ofra Liquid Lipsticks are my favorite formula of liquid lipstick. They are so comfortable and last a long time. Kathleen Lights' newest collab with them, Havana Nights, is such a gorgeous holiday shade.
5. Mascara
Too Faced Better than Sex mascara is 100% my holy grail mascara. It creates the perfect lashes. Tarte's Lights Camera Flashes Mascara is also great for the holidays because it does give that volume and length. It also doesn't have a fiber wand, so if you don't like those, it's a great alternative to Better than Sex.
6. Palettes
Palettes are my favorite. These few are perfect because they have the perfect metallic shades. The Lorac Mega Pro 2 has every shade you could need. The Too Faced Le Grand Palais and Chocolate Bar have the most beautiful metallics, the Lorac Pro Metal palette has gorgeous metallic shades as well, and the Tartelette 2 has the perfect combination of matte and shimmer.
7. Face
As I have mentioned before, I love highlights. I also love the two blushes in here and they are super long lasting. The first is the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Peaceful. It has the slightest bit of shimmer to it. Then, there is the Too Faced Love Flush Blush in Baby Love. This is the perfect nude pink blush. For highlights, the Ofra x Dupe That You Glow Girl, Anastasia Beverly Hills So Hollywood, The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer, and Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop highlights are so gorgeous. They all add the perfect glow to the face.
Well I hope you enjoyed this quick post! I will be filming holiday tutorials and will be posting them periodically before New Years! Happy Holidays!!
