Prep your skin with Primer and then apply Foundation Layer and Contour your products Set your look with Powder Go heavy on mascara, liner, and lips 👄 Glitter: Yes? No? How? “Yes!” I recommend a sophisticated shimmer with a hint of glimmer. Pro tip: Try a winged eyeliner starting with a natural base color on the lid, then creating boldness with glitter eyeliner. You could also go with a soft eyeliner and feather out glitter all over the lid, but make sure not to apply it all the way to the brow bone. Still another look is a bold eyeliner with glitter—smudge out your basic eyeliner then top it with the glimmer or shimmer. During the holiday scramble, it’s natural to want to apply a little color and go, but sometimes it’s easier (and stress free) to slip into the makeup artist’s chair, sip a glass of champagne, relax, lean back and let the professional work their magic.
