BEAUTY BAR: Ho-Ho-Holiday Glam

It’s that time of year again. Long days and timeless nights filled with family gatherings, ugly Christmas sweater parties, holiday work events, NYE celebrations and the good ole family photos. This Fashionista has the perfect go-to look for all of these ho-ho-holiday celebrations! She’s rocking a shimmery neutral eye, with a chic winged liner and topped it off with a dark matte lip.

To recreate this look, she starts off with applying a thin layer of Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. She’s covered up any blemishes and under-eye bags with the Urban Decay NAKED Skin Weightless Concealer. Next, she applies a base layer of the Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation for that lightweight, full coverage. If you want that extra definition, she’s used the Sonia Kashuk Lightening and Contour Sticks and blended it out with a Beauty Blender.

Then, she’s dusted her face with the NYX HD Finishing Powder in “Banana” for a softer, matte finish. Add a few swipes of the Urban Decay NAKED Illuminated Powder on the highlights of your face for a shimmering glow. This Fashionista has a mix of the Urban Decay NAKED 1, 2 and Smoky Eye Palette on her lids, using darker neutrals on the crease and outer edges with steel-toned shimmers on the inner-lid. For the brows, she’s defined them with the Smashbox Brow Tech Shaping Powder and a small, angled brush. To get that perfectly winged eyeliner, she’s found that the Revlon ColorStay Skinny Liquid Liner works wonders.

This Fashionista was blessed with naturally long lashes, but she’s added a coat of Maybelline Great Lash Mascara for a bolder, defined look. For that dark matte lip, this Fashionista has found that the Kylie Lip Kit in Kourt K lives up to the name. It’s a great bold color that stays on through family dinners and sipping on champagne. Finally, she’s sprayed her face with the NYX Matte Makeup Setting Spray to set her makeup in for those all-day celebrations.
