Guide to Party Season Makeup
Bold Lipstick
We can’t help but mention a holiday season timeless classic, perfect for any occasion. Red lipstick is an evergreen style that will always make you look elegant, whether it’s a Christmas dinner or partying all night long! After a very long season in which the matte look was a must, the glossy look is having a comeback. If you have been taught that you can either have strong lips OR strong eyes, a bold lip and a cat eye (with a sleek hairdo) are über chic together.
Shimmer Eyeshadow
Another comeback we didn’t see coming, but we’re happy to welcome back. Shimmer eyeshadows are not just for the catwalks. And when we say shimmer we don’t simply mean those nude palettes with golden or peachy undertones. We mean bold, colourful choices. Thankfully, you don’t need to be a pro to apply them. If you choose a creamy one or a loose mineral shadow, you can simply apply it with your fingers. Don’t get intimidated once you look at yourself in the mirror and add mascara: you will see the look coming together. You will realise it’s a super easy choice – and not as risky as you thought. Extra fixing powder under the eyes will prevent it from becoming smudged.
Cat Eye
You simply can’t go wrong with this classic look. Some people use scotch tape, others use stickers, some have mastered the technique so well they could do it with their eyes closed. Eyeliner is often our first make up crush, and it’s very likely you’ll have a love and hate relationship with it. Having extra patience and lower expectations definitely help: once you achieve the look, it will be surely satisfying. If you’re unsure, start with pencil then add a waterproof eyeliner to help it last all night long. Neaten the edges using LastSwabs reusable beauty Q-tip dipped in make up remover.
Glitters
You can step up your natural make up look with a glittery detail. It won’t be too extra and if you feel like daring some sparkles that’s the right time of the year. You can apply glitter on your eyelid or a little touch on your cheekbones, where you would normally use a highlighter: you will turn heads, but will still have the comfort of your day-to-day natural look. Our choice is plant-based and biodegradable of course.
