The Perfect Holiday Makeup Look
Brows
Keep your brows as natural as possible. Never use too much eyebrow pencil to emphasize or to change your brows’ shape. If you want to make your eyebrows thicker or if you want to fill in any sparse areas choose an eyebrow pencil that matches the natural color of your eyebrows. Use a powdered eyebrow pencil as it is easier to apply and create a more natural look. Never use black pencil to emphasize your brows; choose a brown or lighter pencil. At the end use a clear mascara and brush through the eyebrow. Remember: this season brows should look as natural as possible; this means no too thick or too thin eyebrows, no dark eyebrow liner. Make sure your brows are properly groomed.
Eyes
If you want to make your eyes appear “vivid“ smoky eye look will be your best choice. Smoky eyes are the best eye makeup look for a holiday party or for another important event where you should look in your best. If your eyes are dark – choose darker eyeshadow shades and vice versa if your eyes are light choose lighter shades.

Volume lashes
Long and thick eyelashes are a surefire way to instant prettiness. Before you apply mascara curl your lashes in order to open up your eyes. Use an eyelash curler and curl your lashes very carefully – position your eyelash curler around your eyelashes – the upper lashes must be between the edges of the curler. Carefully squeeze the edges of the eyelash curler together and hold for a few seconds.Choose black or brown mascara and apply it after you have curler your eyelashes. Don’t apply more than two coats of mascara, otherwise you can make your lashes appear too done and unnatural. First apply a thin coat, lit it dry and then build up with a second coat of mascara. When applying mascara to the lower lashes, gently brush the tip of the applicator across them. Consider applying false lashes to enhance your lashes and to create a more sophisticated look.

Lips
Apply a dusting of powder or a bit of foundation to your lips to help maximize the lipstick’s staying power. First outline your lips with a lip pencil that matches your natural lip color to keep the color from bleeding. The lip pencil allows your lipstick or lip gloss to last longer by creating a base for your lipstick. Depending on your dress’ color choose a lipstick that will suit your outfit. Apply only lip gloss to create more elegant look and to make your lips luminous. Remember the golden rule: if your eyes are too bright choose less bright color for your lips and vice versa – brighter color on your lips is your eyes are natural-looking. If you want to apply red lipstick or red lip gloss it’s essential to apply it flawlessly.
Nails
Choose an elegant, natural-looking color, but make sure the color suits your evening dress. Those who want to create a classy look should consider French Manicure. Make sure your nail polish is applied flawlessly, especially if your lacquer is red.
