Christmas Party Makeup - How To Create The Understated Yet
Glamorous Look
This Christmas the look is pretty, not gory. Even for the
night, light makeup that makes you look like yourself, only
prettier is the way to go. Just because you're going to a
party at night, it doesn't mean you have to pile on heavy
makeup to look glamorous. Overdone make up makes you look
older, not prettier. Light make up makes you look younger
and more inviting to the opposite sex.
Stars like Halle Berry and Scarlett Johanssen sparkle with
their bare, yet ultrachic look. Understated makeup is glam
if you know how to pull it off. The secret lies in the
strategic placement of color and the choice of color used.
First invest in a set of makeup brushes. The free ones that
come with the compact wouldn't do. Sure, those would be fine
for touch ups but not when you're actually putting on your
face.
Next, get a foundation that matches your skin tone. Not to
light, not too dark. Get a shade that is just right. Or get
two shades of the same foundation, one darker, one lighter
and blend them together until they match your skin perfectly.
Or you could use a tinted moisturizer close to your skin tone
if you don't need much coverage.
Forget about the goth girl heavy eyed look. Be daring. Bring
out the natural beauty of your eyes with a soft shimmery eye
shadow and use eye liner sparingly. Use your mascara to define
your lashes but separate the lashes immediately with a clean
mascara brush or comb.
For your lips, this Christmas, forget about garishly bright
lips or deep wine lips. Those are so passe. Go for something
nude. A shimmery nude lip gloss would be perfect. It is subtle,
chic and naturally pretty.
Even with light makeup, you need blusher for radiance. Instead
of bright rosy cheeks, go for a golden glow. Forget about
fuschia, red, or anything that might make you look like an old
fashioned doll. Go for the healthy glow. Cheat by using a
caramel blusher. You get a glow that looks so natural they'll
think it is real.
