It's that time of year again- one holiday party after
another, and other than a great outfit, how else can you add some sizzle to
your look and stand out at the next holiday bash? Nothing can be more simple
(and inexpensive) than some fun make up! Here are 3 easy ways that you can
change up your look this year:
*Note - using all three of these options can cause makeup overload, my suggestion is to pick one at a time and run with it!
1. The lips say it all
Bold lip colours in every shade imaginable have been trending this year, so for the holidays take it up a notch and try a bright, bold, and rich hue. In this case, keep the rest of your makeup simple and muted, the focus here is on the lips. Don't be afraid to try a deep and dark colour, choose a shade that looks great on you and go a few shades darker.
2. Colour combo eyes
Colour blocking and combining clashing tones has been all
over the runway, so do the same with your eyes! Take two contrasting hues
opposite on the colour wheel, ( for example yellow and purple, blue and orange,
or even red and green if you really want to be festive!) and apply the lighter
colour on the inside of the lid, and the darker colour on the outside and in
the crease. Don't forget to put a neutral highlighter under the brow and on the
inside corners of the eye! 
3. Well manicured lady
The counters are filled with hundreds of shades of nail
polish, from matte, to pearly, to the new trend this year - glitter and
sparkle. These polishes can get pricey though, and they rarely turn out as
glitter packed as they seem! An easy way to use up that left over glitter from
your high school art project, is to mix it into a bottle of your clear nail polish!
Another great way is to apply a clear coat on your nails first, then quickly
sprinkle on the glitter while it's wet so it will stick, then finish with
another clear layer, VIOLA!
*Tip - Match the base colour with the colour of the glitter
for a cleaner look.
Hope you got a little inspiration and helpful tips to take
on the holidays, DIY style... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
