You don't want to look like every day on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, but you have no idea how to do it? We do! And with a lot of shimmer – and our five simple tricks!
We all imagine looking very special during the holiday season. Special outfit, special hairstyle and of course special make-up. It's just stupid that most of us tend not to get out of our comfort zone when applying makeup. The result: We look the same on the holidays as we always do and a lipstick is the highest of emotions to celebrate the day. But not with us! We'll show you five simple tricks that will instantly make your makeup look festive.
1. Glitter
Christmas is not possible without glitter. That's why it shouldn't be missing on our face. But don't worry, we're not talking about glitter lipstick or glittering festival highlighters. A much more subtle and much more effective solution is a glitter eyeliner. Either you wear it over a normal, black eyeliner or just alone. You will see, a little bling makes every look twice as glamorous. Our insider tip: You can also put the liner over your eyeshadow so that your eye make-up sparkles even more. If a liner is too complicated for you, you can of course also use a sparkling glitter eyeshadow.
2. Bold lips
If you are not in the mood for eye-catching eye make-up, then just put the focus on the lips on the holidays. Of course, we could now suggest a perfectly normal red lipstick. But let's be honest: we've just seen it too often. We think you should just dare something this year and go for really dark colors – a dark wine red, brown or a dark purple. It looks classy and still cool.
3. Lashes
Our look can be a little extra for Christmas and New Year's Eve. And what better way to achieve this than with false eyelashes? There are so many styles – from natural to dramatic. We are sure that everyone will find the right fake lashes. So that nothing goes wrong on the big holiday, you should practice attaching it a few times beforehand. Otherwise you will give up again very quickly – we speak from experience. If you want to know how to properly apply false eyelashes, check out this video on Facebook Live.
4. Nail polish
Super simple – and yet super effective: A conspicuous or shimmering nail polish is probably the most obvious trick that we are all probably already using. But if you don't feel like using your standard tones anymore, just put on a little more this year. And no, we're not talking about five layers now, but more glamor and glitter. Effect paints are particularly cool, they are not that easy to get off, but the effort is guaranteed to be worth it.
5. Shimmer Lotion
If we wear dresses or skirts for Christmas dinner or the New Year's party, then of course not only our face should look fresh and festive. Our arms and legs should also shine. And you don't need a lot for that: a body lotion and a liquid highlighter. You just mix it together on your hand and then apply cream as usual. A little tip: The finer the shimmer particles in the highlighter, the finer the shimmer on the skin. Coarse glitter in the highlighter will also show up as glitter on the skin. Either way, it will always look festive.
