Since it’s officially Christmas Eve, I thought I’d do a little beauty post on some looks I’ve done this month that I think would be great to wear on Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or anywhere in between. I’ll save the most “glam” look for last, so read all the way through! Or just scroll down to the bottom if you’re the kind of person who likes to sneak a peek at presents before Christmas… :)

I’ll start off with a very subtle, more natural look for those of you who don’t like to wear a ton of makeup, but still want to look festive.

• Eyes: Morphe 35O palette used to create a neutral toned smokey eye with some pink shimmer and natural lashes with a bit of mascara.
• Skin: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in the shade “Natural Beauty”
• Lips: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip holiday edition shade “Scrooge”

Next is another look incorporating the lovely “Scrooge”, but this time accompanied by bronze tones.

• Eyes: Morphe 35O palette
• Skin: Nyx Wonder Stick in “Universal” for contour and highlight and little bit of Tarte blush again

Continuing with the bronze smokey eyes…

• Eyes: Morphe 35O palette (Can you tell it’s my favorite?)
• Lips: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip holiday edition shade “Silhouette”

Next up, gold! This is a look I created for a makeup challenge on Instagram with the theme “All Gold Everything” in mind. This one’s for those of you who like to go all out ;)

• Eyes: Morphe 35O palette plus Tarte Shadow Stick in the shade “Champagne Pearl” on the brow bone, lower lash line, and inner corner, and some faded winged liner using E.L.F. Cosmetics Cream Eyeliner in “Coffee”
• Skin: Nyx Wonder Stick in “Universal” for contour and highlight
• Lips: Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in the shade “Cherry Skies” plus that same Tarte Shadow Stick on the cupid’s bow

More gold! This time, a more “normal” amount ;)

• Eyes: Morphe 35O palette, now with LASHES! These are the Ardell “Wispies” style lashes.
• Skin: Colourpop Super Shock Cheek highlight in the shade “Electric Slide”
• Lips: Sephora Deep Plum Luster

Here’s a more classic look I call “Cranberry Christmas”.

• Eyes: Morphe 35O palette plus E.L.F Cosmetics black Cream Eyeliner for the wings
• Lips: Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in the shades “Cherry Skies” and “Kitten Heels” for a subtle ombre effect

Moving on to a classic, very feminine look with lots of sparkle.

• Eyes: Colourpop Super Shock Eyeshadow in the shade “Central Perk” for the base plus some shimmery pink from my Morphe 35O palette and Colourpop Super Shock Cheek highlight in the shade “Fanny Pack” just on the inner corners. Wings were done with E.L.F. Cosmetics black Cream Eyeliner again, and lashes are the “Wispies” style by Ardell Lashes.
• Skin: Colourpop Super Shock Cheek highlight in the shade “Fanny Pack” where it belongs ;)
• Lips: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in the shade “Bad Habit”

Revisiting the Autumn/bronze tones just for a bit… This time paired with yet another holiday edition shade from Colourpop.

• Eyes: Morphe 35O palette plus Ardell “Demi Wispies” style lashes (these are perfect for everyday wear because they have a more natural look and they fit behind glasses!)
• Skin: Colourpop Super Shock Cheek highlight in the shade “Electric Slide” and Nyx Wonder Stick in “Universal” for contour
• Lips: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip holiday edition shade “Teeny Tiny”

Here’s a more edgy holiday look using all Colourpop products.

• Eyes: Colourpop Super Shock Eyeshadows in the shades “Central Perk” for the base and “Liberty” on top and in the inner corners
• Skin: Colourpop Super Shock Cheek highlight in the shade “Fanny Pack”
• Lips: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in the Shade “Stingraye” (This shade is a collab between Colourpop and @itsmyrayeraye on Instagram. Check her out if you haven’t already!)

We made it to the end! Here is “Christmas Cut Crease”, my favorite and most “Holiday Glam” look. Enjoy!

• Eyes: Morphe 35O palette plus my usual E.L.F. black Cream Eyeliner and Ardell “Demi Wispies” style lashes, and the super glam shimmery liner is the Aqua Liner in the shade “Glam Nude” by Nyx
• Skin: Colourpop Super Shock Cheek highlight in the shade “Fanny Pack”, Nyx Wonder Stick in “Universal” for contour, and Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in the shade “Natural Beauty”
• Lips: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in the shades “Silhouette” and “Bumble”
