How to Christmas Make-up: Golden Glow
The Golden Glow look is a great choice for Christmas Eve with the family, but also for the company Christmas party. This make-up will make you shine and put your eyes in the spotlight.
Step 1: Preparation
Prepare your skin with your usual skincare routine and moisturize it. Then use a primer to give your skin a great glow. The primer, such as NABLA Cosmetics Angel Aura, also ensures a particularly long-lasting look.

Step 2: The Base
Apply concealer and foundation as usual to ensure a flawless and even complexion. Work both textures into the skin one after the other using a damp make-up sponge. Make sure to blend the texture well towards the neck, ears and hairline so that no edges are created or the product settles.
Step 3: Define
With a contour stick, such as the BPerfect Cosmetics Shapestick Bronze & Define, you can give your face more definition and contour and make it look slimmer. Apply the product with a brush under the cheekbones and on the temples, using a small amount to start with. Blend the texture very thoroughly here too so that no dark bars remain.
You can shape your eyebrows however you like. If you would like fuller eyebrows, a fine eyebrow pencil is perfect for filling them in optically with precise strokes. You can use an eyebrow gel to fix even the finest hairs.

Make it sparkle with a liquid eyeshadow like the LH Cosmetics Interstellar Collision! The highly pigmented texture gives your eyelids an incomparably beautiful and radiant look.
Gently dab the eyeshadow onto your eyelids and blend it with your fingers. If you wish, you can apply eyeliner for a particularly elegant finish.

The Christmas make-up is ready!
How to Christmas Make-up: Red Lips
No make-up is as suitable for Christmas as make-up with a red kissable mouth - it stands for a classic look and exudes pure elegance. Find out here how to conjure up the ultimate kissable mouth and, above all, what goes particularly well with it.
Step 1:
Apply a moisturizer to your skin to prepare it for the upcoming make-up. A primer that suits your skin type will also make the look particularly long-lasting.
Step 2:
Use concealer and foundation as usual to cover imperfections and ensure an even complexion. A damp make-up sponge or a suitable brush is best for evenly blending the product.
Step 3:
Contour your face with a contour powder or your desired texture - on the temples, under the cheekbones and also on the nose if desired. Fix your concealer with a transparent powder, such as the Catrice Bright & Blur Loose Powder. This is also ideal for making annoying oil shine in the T-zone disappear.

If you wish, you can apply eyeliner – it looks simply stunning with red lips and completes the enchanting Christmas make-up look.
The LH Cosmetics Infinity Ink is particularly suitable for this, as it allows you to draw particularly precise lines thanks to its fine tip.

Step 6:
Apply mascara to your eyelashes to create a great eye look with beautifully long lashes.
Step 7:
In the last step, you create the focal point of the look: the red lips. First, outline your lips with a matching red lip liner. Glide along the outer edge - just slightly outside if you want to conjure up fuller lips.
The lip liner ensures that the look lasts longer and reduces the risk of accidental smudging of the lipstick. Then apply the lipstick evenly to the lips.

How to Christmas Make-up: Subtle Smokey Eyes
Glittery and sparkling Christmas makeup or red lips don't suit you and your style? Then we have the perfect idea to put your eyes in focus and create a great holiday make-up that is simple yet elegant.
Step 1:
Moisturize your face with a moisturizer that suits your skin type. You can also use a suitable primer to ensure that the look lasts longer.
Step 2:
Apply a concealer that matches your skin tone and work the texture in thoroughly with a make-up sponge or brush, concentrating on the eye area and any blemishes. Then apply a small amount of foundation to ensure a particularly even-looking complexion.

Step 3:
With a contouring product of your choice, you can redefine and shape your face. Apply the texture directly under your cheekbones, on your forehead and temples and blend it carefully. Then use a softly shimmering highlighter, which you then place on the light points of your face to create great accents.
Step 4:
Then shape your eyebrows, fill them in slightly with thin strokes and finally fix them for a particularly long hold.
Step 5:
Soft earth and brown tones are best for your smokey eye make-up. A classic smokey eye look in grey to black might look a bit harsh for Christmas, but of course it all depends on your taste.
The best way to achieve this look is with an eyeshadow palette, where you can find shades that match each other, such as the BPerfect Cosmetics Mini Muted Palette.

First, apply a strong but not too dark brown shade to your mobile eyelid, such as the shade “Play” from the Mini Muted Palette. It is best to use a flat eyeshadow brush for this.
Then use a slightly darker shade (eg Lullaby from the Mini Muted Palette) and apply it to the crease of the eyelid using a soft blending brush. Glide the brush over the crease several times to create a smooth transition to the previous eyeshadow shade.
Now apply the next darker shade (eg Pause from the Mini Muted Palette) to the outer corner and the outer side of the eyelid crease. A soft blending brush is particularly suitable here to create a smooth transition.
To intensify your look, you can also apply a little of the darkest shade to the lower lash line from the very outside to the middle of the eye.
Step 6:
Then apply mascara to your eyelashes to give them ultimate length and definition.

Tips for a successful Christmas make-up
- If you're doing a glittery eye make-up with powder eyeshadow, you should apply it first before foundation etc. Because even if powder and glitter particles fall off, you can then simply remove them without ruining the rest of your make-up.
- Silver or gold? Of course you can use silver or gold for your make-up. Simply decide based on your jewelry or test the two metals on your skin tone. Silver often goes better with a cool skin undertone and gold with a warm one.
- In winter, your skin tends to become more dry. So give your skin an extra dose of moisture so that your make-up stays on well and doesn't settle into dry lines.
We hope you liked these ideas for Christmas make-up looks! We wish you lots of fun doing your make-up and a magical Christmas season!
