Festive glamour – stunning styling ideas for Christmas
Everything is sparkling and twinkling... It’s the time of year when we magically transform everything around us into a festive and radiant atmosphere. Why not do the same with your look? The holiday season is the perfect occasion to dress up with some glamorous make-up, a special hairstyle or both! Try out our styling ideas for yourself to look and feel your best this Christmas.
Christmas must-haves
Want to bring out your natural beauty with understated make-up? Then use delicate shades of pink, similar to those in this look, to give you a soft, wintery glow. The colour gradient on the eyelids, from light to darker tones, will open up your eyes and enhance their radiance and depth. Use highlighters to accentuate your cheekbones and freshen up your complexion. Finish off your look with lip liner and lipstick in complimentary shades of pink.

This glamorous make-up style makes an elegant statement with an emphasis on your eyes and lips. The bright red lipstick creates a sensual pout, while the softly blended eyeliner shapes and accentuates your eyes. The real highlight of this look? It’s the small rhinestones placed around your eyes to make them sparkle like the Christmas tree lights.

You can give your hairstyle a playful, festive twist with a simple yet effective trick – Wrap a piece of ribbon around your hair tie and tie it into a pretty bow. It’s a cute and creative way to give your look a yuletide touch.
Stay festive: Christmas make-up essentials
Whether you’re celebrating with colleagues or having a festive dinner with the family, you want your make-up to stay put throughout. With the right products, you can easily get your make-up to last longer. Applying a primer before your foundation will even out your skin’s texture and help prevent shine. For better staying power, powder your T-zone and any areas where you’ve applied concealer. A setting spray will set your make-up for a long-lasting finish. For bold eye make-up, we recommend applying an eyeshadow primer first, which intensifies the colour pigments and helps reduce fallout. Matte liquid lipsticks, the ones which dry on the lips, will even survive an extensive Christmas dinner – for a look that continues to dazzle even after you’ve left.
