Try out these 7 unique makeup ideas for Christmas to look glam
1) Rhinestone Eye Makeup
This eye makeup uses rhinestones to make your eye makeup stand out and look attractive. Start by creating a base for the eye makeup by using an eye primer or a normal primer, then apply glue onto the surface one wants the rhinestones to be.
After that, use a tweezer to place the rhinestones in place and let them dry. Don't forget to spray a good amount of setting spray on top to seal the makeup in place.
Make sure that the face is clean before trying this look, if one uses a bold color sequin, try to keep the lipstick shade nude or light pink to complement the look, and bring attention to the eyes. Once the event is over, use a makeup remover to remove the sequin gently, and avoid rubbing the skin.
2) Red and Gold Makeup
Red and gold are two favorite Christmas colors of everyone. Achieve this look by prepping the skin, using a BB cream or foundation to create a base, and then using a gold shimmer eyeshadow to make the eyes pop up. Instead of using it on the eyes, you can also keep the eye look minimal, and use the same gold shimmer on your cheeks for a unique yet Christmas-y look.
Complete the look by applying a bright red lipstick. Make sure to seal the makeup with a makeup setting spray to tame down any extra makeup and make it look smoother.
3) Icy Blue Eyeshadow Makeup
If one wants to look ethereal, this makeup idea is worth trying out as this perfectly suits the winter theme. Start by applying an eye shadow primer to the eyes, and apply a white or silver eye shadow. Blend it out to create a smooth base. Once done, a blue eyeshadow across the lid should be applied and blended outwards.
One can use a matte or shimmery eyeshadow according to their liking. In case one is using a shimmery eyeshadow, make sure to not blend it too much, as it might move from its place. Add a little silver shimmer in the inner corners of the eyes for a frosty look. One can finish this look with a layer of mascara, make sure to keep the lipstick shade neutral to make your eyes pop.
4) Glow Up With Highlighter
If one wants a dewy skin look, a highlighter can be their best friend. Start by prepping the skin with moisturizer and makeup primer. Then, apply the foundation and top it off with some loose powder. Once the base of the makeup is ready, apply the bronzer and blush according to your preference. Now, take the highlighter, and apply it on your cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and any high points of your face where light reflects.
For the eye look, one can use graphic eyeliners and combine them with bold or autumn-shade lipstick. Make sure to seal everything with makeup setting spray. Once the setting spray dries off, apply a light layer of highlighter again on the cheekbones for that extra glow.
5) Sparkly Eyes makeup
Sparkly eye looks are the best for Christmas, especially at night. If one has shimmer shades sitting on your vanity, take them out and try this amazing look. Prepare the eyes with a primer and apply a base eyeshadow. Followed by using the shimmer eyeshadows of one’s choice, and applying them to the eyelids.
One can apply the brighter one in the center of the eyelids to create an illusion of bigger eyes. For the outer part, use some neutral eyeshadow, and for the inner corners, use silver or soft pink to brighten the eyes. One can also go with bold lipstick with this look. If someone does not prefer to use bold lipstick, they can use heavy mascara with nude lipstick to finish this makeup look.
6) Disco Eyes Makeup
If one wants a bold and glittery look like the 70s disco era, this can be their go-to look. Start by using an eye shadow primer on the eyes, and then apply a shimmer base. After that, apply a colorful shade like blue, purple, pink, or any other of like all over the lids. One can also create transitions by using a darker shade on the outer side of the eyelid.
Using silver shimmer eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eyes can add extra drama. One can also use fake eyelashes to get some extra length. At the end, use a setting spray to finish the eye look, and pair it with pink blush and lipstick to finish the makeup look.
7) Two Tone Eyeshadow Makeup
For someone who wants to do something out of the box, they can go for two different eyeshadows on different eyes. Start by selecting two eyeshadows that are contrasting, like blue and orange, teal blue and red, red and green, and so on.
Start by adding a base color and then apply the eyeshadows on your eyes and blend them properly. You can also apply the same eyeshadow on your lower eyelids for some extra drama. Finish the look by using mascara and avoid overapplying the highlighter or blush, as it can look a bit extra. One can use pink or any nude lipstick instead to complete the makeup.
