Glittery Holiday Look

Hey beauties! I wanted to create a really dramatic makeup look using some glitter and a festive red lip. This look is perfect to wear for New Years Eve! Below I’ve listed all the steps to create this look.

Face

1. Prime the face with Benefit Cosmetics’ POREfessional Face Primer.
2. For this look, I want my skin to be matte so I applied Maybelline’s Fit Me! Matte foundation.
3. To conceal and brighten under my eyes, I applied MAC Pro Longwear Concealer.
4. I applied Ben Nye’s Cameo powder and Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder to set the concealer to prevent creasing.
5. To set the foundation, I powdered my face with Benefit Cosmetics’ POREfessional: Agent Zero Shine powder.
6. To add some color to my cheeks, I swept theBalm Frat Boy blush.
7. To contour, I Blended Jing Ai’s Goddess Vienna Charm Cheek Rouge into the hollows of my cheekbones.
8. To highlight, I swept Becca’s Champagne Pop on the tops of my cheekbones.

Brows & Eyes

1. To fill and shape my brows, I feathered Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Soft Brown Brow Wiz in the front and filled the middle and end of my brows with Chocolate DipBrow.
2. To set my brows, I applied Kiko Milano’s Eyebrow Designer gel.
3. To prime the lids, I applied Benefit Cosmetics’ Air Patrol.
4. For eyeshadow, I started with Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Lace shadow all over the lid from the Self Made Palette.
5. As a transition shade, I swept the shade Blush in the upper portion of the crease.
6. To deepen, I buffed ABH Brownie single shadow into the crease and blended outwards.
7. On the lid, I lighted dabbed Giorgio Armani Eye Tint in the shade No 7.
8. To make the shadow pop, I patted ABH Chocolate Crumble single shadow on top of the eye tint.
9. To add some black, I blended ABH Spirit Rock shadow in the outer corner and blended outwards to create a soft wing.
10. YAY! Glitter! I dabbed Star Crushed Minerals Champagne Wishes glitter onto the lid.
11. For mascara, I used Benefit Cosmetics’ Roller Lash and popped on Vegas Nay’s Grand Glamor lashes.
12. For the water line and lower lash line, I used Urban Decay’s LSD eye pencil and applied ABH Peacock single shadow on top to make the shadow pop.
13. To blend out any harsh lines, I swept ABH Brownie and Blush on the lower lash line.

Lips

For a festive red lip, I applied Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Sarafine and Sad Girl liquid lipstick. Of course a nude or beige lip would go with this look if a red is too bold.
