Christmas Make Up Three Different Ways

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and cracked down on that Christmas list. I'm so happy I'm done with the hassle of Christmas shopping and now can enjoy the season. I also picked up a few goodies myself to make sure my make up is holiday ready. For this Christmas season, I teamed up with my friend (who's a professional make up artist) to bring you three different make up options. A lot of times I don't know how to repeat the looks because I'm not sure what products are used. Here we compiled all the products (with specific eye shadow colors) to make it's easy for you follow.

________________________________________________________________________________

This first look is perfect for a Christmas party with sparkly outfit (like this) or with your favorite LBD. I love the pop of red in the lip and how everything else stays simple. Although winged eyeliner adds a sophisticated touch to this holiday-ready look. 

foundation: NARS (Fiji)
concealer: MAC
highlighter: MAC (Radiant Rose)concealer: Smashbox 
setting powder: NARS
blush: NARS
contour: Anastasia Beverly Hills (banana, sand, fawn)
shadow palette: Urban Decay (booty call, suspect, snake bite)
eyeliner: Kat Von D
mascara: Lancome
eyelash curler: Shisedo
lip liner: NYX (Red)
lipstick: BITE Beauty (Pomegranate)
eye brow kit: Two Faced

The smokey eye look is my favorite because it adds drama to any outfit and hair style. Keeping everything else simple with sleeked back hair and shift dress makes the eyes pop (example). It's my favorite look!

The 'no-make-up' make up look is effortless and easy for your Christmas morning lounging when you want to look beautiful (you know you will be posting those selfies with your favorite gifts). But at the same time, you don't want to take a long time getting ready in the morning. The nude lip and minimal eyeliner is all that's needed to complete this look.

concealer: Bare Minerals

brow pencil: Anastasia Beverly Hills
eyeliner: Stila (dark brown)
