We all know that it’s the<br />
most wonderful time of the<br />
year, so don’t hold back this<br />
Christmas, find a glamorous<br />
party look that’s guaranteed<br />
to make you the belle of the<br />
ball.<br />
Getting your hair and makeup<br />
just right is essential for<br />
whatever social gathering<br />
you’re attending because<br />
it’s those finishing touches<br />
that make you look really<br />
special.<br />
December’s party season<br />
is the one month in the<br />
calendar where you can<br />
really embrace a strong<br />
look, so make the most of it.<br />
Here’s how to achieve a<br />
classic and sophisticated<br />
make-up style that’s perfect<br />
for every Christmas<br />
party.<br />
Get the Look:<br />
Porcelain skin, flushed cheeks, Sculpt cheekbones by applying<br />
berry stained lips and defined eyes a blusher in a dusky pink hue.<br />
make for fabulous make-up at Remember to not place the colour<br />
this time of year. Embracing your too close to the centre of your face<br />
natural complexion and choosing - smile as you apply it so that you see<br />
a foundation shade that’s close to the apples of your cheeks, and sweep<br />
it can give incredible results and a upwards and outwards.<br />
really classy finish.<br />
If you’re used to applying bronzer<br />
though, leaving it off - even in the<br />
winter - will take a little getting used<br />
to, but it’s always good to step out<br />
of your cosmetic comfort zone and<br />
try something new.<br />
Skin really has got to be flawless<br />
for this look. Use a primer first, then<br />
apply a covering foundation, using<br />
a foundation brush.<br />
Choose a light-reflecting loose<br />
powder to apply on top of your<br />
foundation for a radiant glow that<br />
helps to set your base.<br />
Although glittery cosmetics are<br />
everywhere at this time of year,<br />
it really is best to stay away from<br />
them, because shimmer and glitter<br />
show up every line and wrinkle and<br />
aren’t flattering unless you’re a<br />
teenage girl.<br />
If you do fancy some sparkle<br />
though, opt for a dazzling nail<br />
varnish instead.<br />
Next, lightly define your eyes. Use a<br />
neutral eyeshadow across the lids and<br />
brow bone, then apply a light brown<br />
shade in the socket, and a deeper<br />
brown in the far corner.<br />
Brush your brows in to shape using<br />
a brow brush, pluck away any stray<br />
hairs, and emphasise them with a<br />
hint of colour. Use a brow powder to<br />
add definition and shape - it’s worth<br />
doing this even if you don’t usually, as<br />
strong make-up calls for more defined<br />
brows - and finish with a slick of gel to<br />
set them.<br />
Choose a liquid liner in black and<br />
line your top lid, extend the line out<br />
to create a small flick if you want to,<br />
wait for it to dry fully before curling<br />
your eyelashes and apply lashings of<br />
mascara. For extra definition use some<br />
false eyelashes, but make sure that<br />
they are natural looking.<br />
Use a soft black eye-pencil under<br />
your eye, and on the inner rim choose<br />
black liner for a smoky look or white for<br />
a wide-eyed look. Finish with a touch<br />
of mascara.<br />
Use a lip liner in a shade that<br />
compliments your lipstick and create<br />
a great shape. Using a lip brush, apply<br />
your lipstick. Choose a berry-red hue<br />
for instant glamour and finish with a<br />
dab of lip gloss in the centre of<br />
your lips for a really full look.<br />
Remember, Christmas<br />
comes but once a year so<br />
enjoy every minute.<br />
