When it comes to the holidays and how we’re celebrating, this year will certainly be different. Whether you’re celebrating virtually or enjoying seasonal favorites outdoors, exploring holiday makeup trends can still feel magical. This year we’re going for less glitz and just a touch of glam for a natural makeup look that takes minimal effort but delivers on that holiday dazzle.
#1: Vacation Glow
Must-Have Natural Makeup: Bronzer
RIP to our holiday vacation plans. Instead of hitting a faraway beach while others crank up the heaters at home, we’ll just have to settle for a vacation glow courtesy of natural makeup.
To create a touch of sun-kissed warmth, we’re opting for help of a good old-fashioned bronzer. Applied at the top of the forehead, along the cheeks, chin and lightly over the nose, bronzer can create a hint of warmth that still suits the season.
Check out my favorite bronzing products:
Color Correcting Tinted Moisturizer in Shade Deep: Thanks to sheer coverage this CCTM is so easy to blend, adapts to your skin and it's very lightweight that also contains an Anti-aging kinetic enzyme.
Bronze Dust Powder: Light loose powder with a breathable finish that protects without drying the skin throughout the day. Contains skin-loving amino acids and anti-wrinkle ingredient.
#2: Not Just the Neck Up
Must-Have Natural Makeup: Luminizer
That signature holiday glow shouldn’t be reserved only for the face. For our in-person interactions and even our virtual celebrations, our faces, necks, and décolletage areas are usually on display. We love to continue our glow downward, and these simple touches make us feel elegant, dolled up, but still casual enough to attend our Friday Zoom happy hours. Do the dew on cheeks and lips, then bring the party to the neck and chest with a luminizer.
Check out my favorite luminizer product:
Pearlizer Advanced Anti-Aging MakeSense: Creamy formula, easy to blend or mix. Contains anti-aging kinetic enzyme and anti-oxidants.
#3: Super Juicy Lips
Must-Have Natural Makeup: Lip Gloss
While the eyes are fun to dress up, the lips pack a huge punch for creating drama and glamour. Since we’re opting for lowkey beauty this year, the best way to look glamorous in a snap is with a swipe of juicy lip gloss in sheer, shimmery, and semi-opaque finishes.
Check out my favorite lip glosses:
LipSense Lip Gloss: Highly moisturizing, non-sticky formula with shea butter and vitamin E. Wax and lead-free!
#4: Disconnected Liner
Must-Have Natural Makeup: Eyeliner and Eye Shadow
I’ve tried ALL of the eyeliner trends – from floating liner to neon liner and everything in between. But I love this natural makeup look because it makes glam a one-step routine.
Start by lining the upper lash line, then create an inner corner point – keep that signature outer corner flick. With this look, you’ll draw the liner on the lower lash line as well, keeping the center of the waterline bare (there’s your “disconnect”). The idea is to create bigger, bolder eyes by leaving a bit of negative space right under the pupil.
Check out my favorite eyeliner and eyeshadows:
EyeSense Eyeliner: Sets quickly for all-day, budge-proof wear. Highly pigmented for maximum impact with no smudging, feathering, or bleeding. Includes a retractable tip for easy use.
ShadowSense: Cream to powder formula. Waterproof, smudge-proof, budge-proof. Can be used all over the face and contains anti-aging ingredients.
#5: Mochi Skin
Must-Have Natural Makeup: Luminizer and Color Correcting Tinted Moisturizer
Have you heard of our favorite holiday trend yet, mochi skin? This trend looks as good as its namesake tastes, and is the new and improved twist on glass skin. It celebrates a smooth, radiant complexion while keeping the overall finish velvety soft. This look is surprisingly easy to achieve with just two signature products. Start with a smooth, even layer of favorite Luminizer. Top it with a matching natural tinted moisturizer. Sheer texture of tinted moisturizer will allow the subtle glow to show through.
Check out my favorite products:
Pearlizer Advanced Anti-Aging MakeSense: Creamy formula, easy to blend or mix. Contains anti-aging kinetic enzyme and anti-oxidants.
Color Correcting Tinted Moisturizer: Enjoy sheer coverage, color correction benefits, and skin protection in one easy step. Contains non-chemical sun protection, antioxidants with anti-aging benefits.
#6: Artist’s Eyes
Must-Have Natural Makeup: Liquid Eye Shadow
This natural makeup look is edgy-meets-minimalist. The best part is that it ditches the stress of perfectly blended, symmetrical eye makeup for a one-of-a-kind look that translates as cool every time.
The artist’s eyes makeup trend features a bold sweep of painterly, artistic strokes along the lash line for a smudged, whimsical shape. For the holiday season, we’re turning up the glam on this casual style by incorporating metallic shades. That subtle shimmer feels celebratory while keeping the focus on the eyes.
Check out my favorite eye shadow:
ShadowSense: Cream to powder formula. Waterproof, smudge-proof, budge-proof. Can be used all over the face. Contains anti-aging ingredients.
