xmas makeup looks

Nothing says Christmas like glitter, and slathering some sparkly goodness on your pout will definitely bring you some Christmas cheer this year. To master the look, line your lips with a light coloured lip pencil and add foundation to the corners of your mouth. Then apply a creamy lipstick using a lip brush before using a flat brush to add on your glitter. You can finish with a gloss. To glam up your lips even more add some clear lip gloss. The one thing to bear in mind if you re considering having glittery lips for a Christmas do is that drinking, eating and kissing may be off limits; so weigh up your priorities before donning a glitter pout.

You could also apply a brightening face mask; look for ones that contain alpha hydroxy acids, as this natural acid helps to destroy dead skin skills, firm up skin and moisturize.

All those nights partying to Mariah Carey and Wham! is bound to leave even young eyes looking tired.

Also, be careful about where you apply your blusher as applying it too high can make you look tired.
