Hydrate Your Skin
It’s important to ensure that all remnants of yesterday’s makeup and grime are gone. After cleansing your face, take the time to complete your full skincare routine and allow your skin to dry before starting with your makeup.

Make sure that all remnants of yesterday’s makeup and grime are gone.
Don’t Skip Primer
Primer will provide a smooth base for your makeup to adhere to. With the festive season’s evening soirees and twinkling lights, it’s time to embrace a glowing base. To achieve the best light-reflecting canvas, start with a primer that has a subtle shimmer.
Focus on Either the Eyes or Lips
When choosing a color scheme for your makeup look, remember to emphasize either the eyes or lips, but not both. If you decide to go for a sparkling eye look, pair it with a nude lipstick. If you choose to make a statement with your lips, opting for colors like cold red or Barbiecore pink, then keep your eye makeup subtle.
Play with Color
Don’t be afraid to experiment with bolder colors, such as blue. If you decide to focus on your lips instead of your eyes, you can choose nude eyeshadow shades. Use matte colors from your eyeshadow palette to create depth and dimension, then add a shimmer shade to accentuate your chosen eye makeup look.

Feel free to experiment with bolder colors, such as blue.
Go Bold with Eyeliner
Eyeliner will frame your eyes and add definition to your overall look. Even if you choose to focus on your lips, a bold and precise eyeliner look will enhance your features.
To ensure your eyeliner stays put throughout the party, opt for a waterproof formula, and set it with a similar eyeshadow shade.
Curl Your Lashes
Heat up your eyelash curler. Just like a hair curling iron, heating your curler will give you a more defined and long-lasting curl.
First, place the curler at the base of your lashes (close to the eyelid), and gently squeeze a few times. Then, move the curler to the middle of your lashes and gently squeeze again. Finally, move the curler to the tips of your lashes and give it one last gentle squeeze.
After curling each side, apply mascara immediately before moving on to the other eye. This ensures that the curl sets before you move on.
Apply your mascara in a zig-zag motion, using a waterproof formula to keep your lashes looking voluminous and defined all night long.
Red Lips
Pay attention to the finish of your lipstick when choosing a shade for the festive season. No one wants to leave a bright red lip mark on their coffee cup. Opt for a glossy or matte finish, but make sure it’s long-lasting and transfer-proof.
6 Ways to “Iron Out” Wrinkles for Healthier-Looking Skin
Facial massage is an effective way to boost blood circulation, relax facial muscles, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and under-eye bags. It is a popular beauty treatment that can help to rejuvenate and refresh the skin, giving it a youthful and radiant glow. The technique involves gentle manipulation of the facial muscles and tissues, increasing blood flow and promoting lymphatic drainage. This not only helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles but also provides a soothing and relaxing experience, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
