Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need for holiday makeup?

To create stunning holiday makeup looks, you'll need a few essential items:

  • Primer: This helps smooth your skin and ensures your makeup lasts longer.
  • Foundation: Choose a shade that matches your skin tone to create a flawless base.
  • Concealer: Use this to cover blemishes or dark circles.
  • Eyeshadow: Experiment with different colors and textures to create festive looks.
  • Eyeliner: Define your eyes with eyeliner.
  • Mascara: Lengthen and thicken your lashes for dramatic eyes.
  • Blush: Add a healthy flush to your cheeks.
  • Highlighter: Accentuate your cheekbones and brow bone.
  • Lipstick: Complete your look with a bold or subtle lip color.

How to do holiday party makeup?

For holiday parties, long-lasting makeup is key to keeping your look fresh all night. Start with a hydrating primer and a long-wear foundation to create a smooth base. Opt for waterproof or smudge-proof eyeliner and mascara to ensure your eye makeup stays intact through every event. Use setting powder or a setting spray to lock in your makeup, preventing shine or fading. Finally, choose a long-lasting lip color that won’t smudge or transfer.
