'Tis the season to flaunt your best smoky look and a luminous complexion to defy the tinsel on the Christmas tree. Discover our top tips for creating the perfect holiday make-up!

Tip 1: For a natural, glowy make-up look

For Christmas Eve and New Year's Day, what could be better than a luminous complexion? Here are the steps to get your holiday make-up :

 

  1. First and foremost, we start with a luminous base to ensure a long-lasting complexion and moisturize the skin with the Boum Boum Milk Violette_EN.  
  2. To even out your complexion and boost your glow, use the Super Skin Tint SPF30 Ilia. Looking for coverage? Choose True Skin Foundation Ilia, a foundation with adjustable coverage that's as natural as it gets! Just a few drops are all it takes to leave your skin looking photoshopped, with no cardboard effect. 
  • To complete your complexion, apply Bisou Blush Cream Violette_FR in Aïssa shade on cheekbones. Its light plum hue enhances the complexion and gives an immediate, natural "healthy glow" effect. 
  • For the eyes, start by drawing a line along the upper lash line using the Eye Pencil Oh My Cream Skincare Eye Pencil in Noir Matte , followed by the Pinceau Yeux Biseauté Oh My Cream Skincare Eye Brush, stretch your line towards the outside of the eye. On top of the pencil, applyOmbre à Paupières Stick in Champagne to bring light and radiance to your eyes. Finish with a touch of Oh My Cream Skincare Mascara from the base of the lashes to enlarge your eyes.
  • For lips, opt for Bisou Balm Violette_FR in Bonbon Myrtille. Its "bitten mouth" effect will add an irresistible touch to your holiday make-up!

Tip #3: Revisit the iconic red mouth

While there are no absolute rules when it comes to holiday make-up, red lips are a signature look for the festive season. Give it a twist with an even more intense colour .   

  1. The star of the evening? The Petal Bouche Violette_FR in Cerise Désir shade! Start by moisturizing your lips before outlining them, starting at the heart of the lips. Continue to the corners of the mouth, using small hatching strokes until you reach the lines. Avoid continuous strokes for greater ease and naturalness. Color the inside of the lips as you hatch, to ensure long-lasting colour.
  1. For natural-looking eyes, draw a line with the Eye Pencil Oh My Cream Skincare in Marron Scintillant. Draw a line following your lash line and finish the movement towards the outside of your eye, ending your line towards the outer tip of your eyebrow. Repeat for the lower lash line, working from the outside towards the centre of the eye, blending with a small brush to create a pretty gradient. 
  2. To add light to your eyes, apply theOmbre à Paupières Stick Oh My Cream Skincare in Bronze on the eyelid. Finish with Mascara Oh My Cream Skincare Mascara, starting from the base of the lashes, to enlarge your eyes. 
  3. For the complexion, enhance cheekbones with a touch of blush and highlighter using the creamy shadows in the Blush Highlighter Palette Les Filles en Rouje.
