Evening Eye

Have you figured out what your make-up look is going to be for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Please don't tell me "what you usually do"! That is unacceptable! Be bold, be brave! Life rewards the courageous few! Christmas is such a special time of year. This year, I think your should really take the time to celebrate and enjoy the holiday. It has been a rough year, you owe it to yourself to look amazing.

So, I have six new trends (well maybe not so new) that will be sure to impress! Are you feeling electric? Try the electric lip. Take it to the extreme (make sure the rest of your face is pretty subdued), yet keep it minimal. The electric lip looks best in matte textures, not shine. To make it last, apply a lip stain pen (check out CoverGirl's lip stains), then layer over it with a non-glossy shade of lipstick with your finger to make the softer and not trashy.
I just love glitter. Who doesn't really? What looks really amazing is if you dust a bronze or silver glitter onto the center of the lid before sheering it our with a little moisturizer. This makes it appear more effortless and pixie-like.
A monochromatic face can look very chic with a out-there ensemble. I just don't mean all-over nude, I am on the lines of plum. Go for eggplant mixed with gray or black shadow on the eyes, stain the lip with a berry, and go for a orgasmic blush, like orgasm by Nars.
Let's get a little edgy. You can get really glam rock with this look. Smudge together black and burgundy cream formula shadow. Apply onto lid with fingertip and let them set. Its suppose to look a little "worn in".
Instead of doing the usually black liner, try green. Change up your smokey eye to a beautiful greenish silver. Make sure to do a pale mouth with this look.
Go fresh and clean with a cream blush for the holidays. Blend a strong blush onto the apples of the cheeks and make sure to layer on the mascara!
