SUBTLE, CHIC HOLIDAY GLAM

STEP 1:

This holiday glam is all about the eyes, so we opted for a simple, matte complexion. After prepping your skin, apply the Vapour Luminous Foundation Stick to the skin using a makeup sponge or your favorite foundation brush. Buff the foundation into the skin starting at the center of the face and blending outwards to ensure an even coverage and seamless blend.

STEP 2:

Next, apply a small amount of the Fitglow Conceal+ to the under eyes, or anywhere you feel needs that extra coverage, using a concealer brush such as the Fitglow Teddy Double Conceal + Correct Brush.

STEP 3:

To set your base and give the skin a natural, matte finish, go in with the RMS “Un” Powder all over the face to prevent creasing or smudging. After your foundation is set, apply the RMS “RE” Dimension Hydra Powder Blush in Mai Tai on the apples of the cheeks for a warm pop of color.

STEP 4:

Time to glam up those eyes! Start off by prepping the eyelids with the Fitglow Conceal+ before going in with your eyeshadows. Once you’ve primed the eyelids, apply shade Moonstone from the ATHR Beauty Rose Quartz Crystal Palette to the middle and inner corners of the lids using your finger for more intense color payoff. To really heighten the intensity, go back in with more product on a fluffy shadow brush. With the same fluffy brush, apply and blend shade Quartz into the crease and outer corners to enhance the look and add more shimmer. Finish by lining the lash line with the ILIA Clean Line Gel Liner in Dusk, extending the line past the lash line to create a wing. With a flat angled brush, gently drag it over the lash line and wing to smudge out the liner and create that sultry look.

STEP 5:

Step 5: Apply a few coats of the best selling ILIA Volumizing Mascara to darken and lengthen the lashes.

STEP 6:

Groom the brows by brushing the Kosas Air Brow along the brow hairs moving in upward and outward motions, following the natural hair pattern. This not only sets the brows to keep them in place, but also helps to frame the face by defining and evening out the brow color.

STEP 7:

Finish off the look by applying the Fitglow Vegan Lip Liner in Nude to line and define the lips. Outline and fill in the lips with the pencil then use your finger or a brush to blend and even out the color. Lastly, finish off this look by swiping the Kosas Wet Lip Oil in Dip over the lips. The glossy lip conditioner adds volume and hydration, leaving the lips silky smooth while you party all night long.
